23 Mar Certified durability: a must in hospitality textiles
Durability certification makes it possible to objectively verify, through technical testing, the real resistance of textiles subjected to intensive use and industrial laundering.
In hospitality, there is one thing all professionals agree on: durability is everything. Bed linen, towels and table linen must withstand constant industrial washing while maintaining their performance over a long lifespan, ensuring both quality and comfort in the guest experience.
Until now, however, durability has largely been assessed based on experience and real-use performance.
What is certified durability in hospitality textiles?
Today, the sector is taking a step forward: durability can now be certified, becoming a measurable, verifia textilesble and comparable factor within professional. This development introduces a new standard that is set to shape the future of the industry, where certified durability will increasingly be demanded by hospitality professionals.
“In hospitality, durability is essential, as textiles are exposed to highly demanding use and constant washing. This development allows us to take a step further in the professionalisation of the sector and provide an objective guarantee of textile performance,” says Félix Martí, CEO of Resuinsa.
Why is durability key in hospitality textiles?
To obtain this certification, textiles undergo tests that replicate the most demanding hospitality conditions: repeated industrial washing, constant friction and continuous use. These tests analyse key aspects such as abrasion and tear resistance, fabric stability, colour retention and the ability to maintain shape after multiple wash cycles.
In addition, durability is closely linked to sustainability. The longer a product lasts, the less frequently it needs to be replaced, reducing the consumption of raw materials, energy and water, and helping to minimise textile waste. Choosing certified durable textiles allows hotels to ensure optimal performance even after numerous industrial wash cycles.
In this context, Resuinsa becomes the first company in the sector to obtain this certification, reinforcing its position as a benchmark in innovation, quality and the development of hospitality textiles, while contributing to raising industry standards.
This certification has been developed by AITEX, a leading international textile research institute. It represents a major step forward, bringing technical validation closer to real hospitality use and establishing certified durability as one of the new pillars of the sector.
