Introduction to Thick Acrylic Felt Fabric

What is 3.2mm Acrylic Felt?

Acrylic felt is a synthetic, non-woven textile created by pressing and bonding acrylic fibers together. At 3.2mm thickness, this felt is significantly denser and sturdier than standard 1.6mm felt, giving it superior structure and performance for heavy-duty applications.

Why Choose Thick Felt Over Thin Felt?

While 1.6mm acrylic felt is excellent for lightweight crafts and sewing projects, 3.2mm felt offers enhanced durability and support. It’s better suited for upholstery, protective padding, structural crafts, and projects where firmness is essential.

Benefits of 3.2mm Acrylic Felt Fabric

Strong and Long-Lasting

This thick felt fabric resists tearing, fraying, and pilling, ensuring your projects stay intact even with frequent use. It is engineered for long-lasting results in both decorative and functional applications.

Rigid Structure for Stability

The added thickness provides rigidity, making it perfect for projects that require a firm base or reinforced structure. It holds its shape better than thinner felt, making it ideal for upholstery and protective uses.

Easy to Cut, Sew, and Work With

Despite its thickness, 3.2mm acrylic felt remains easy to cut and sew. Clean edges prevent fraying, and the dense texture ensures professional-looking results with minimal effort.
