Kuranda Imperfects

Fabrics

*Imperfect fabrics are not covered under warranty.

Kuranda fabrics are completely sealed and non-breathable, making them waterproof and free of teeth or claw-catching holes. Breathable fabrics are not chew proof as they have holes that catch on teeth and claws.

Heavy Duty 40oz Vinyl

• Our strongest fabric – for destructive dogs and businesses.
• The 40oz vinyl fabric is made of vinyl-coated polyester with a smooth surface and has superior abrasion resistance and tear strength.
• A non-breathable finish, free of teeth and claw-catching holes.
• The same material used for rigid truck and trailer traps, and SUV covers.
• Does not sweat in heat, retain body heat, or warm in heated environments.
• The smooth coating is easy to brush, hose, or wipe down and does not harbour dirt and allergens from dogs’ fur or paws – best for dogs with inhalant allergies.
• Holds up to 114kg.
• Fabric edges are wrapped tightly around a rod, then the seams are welded and heat-treated in place.
• The Kuranda 40oz vinyl fabric has been tested and compared against lower 20oz fabrics on the market and produces a higher performance. Fabrics under 40oz showed low tear strength and over-flex creating weakness and sag over time.
• Our Vinyl fabrics are 1356gsm (grams per square metre). The higher a fabric’s GSM, the thicker and more hard-wearing it is, e.g. Denim has a higher GSM than silk. Other vinyl dog bed fabrics only go as high as 900gsm.
• NOTE: Placing soft bedding, blankets, or bed pads on top of the vinyl may cause condensation between the vinyl and the soft bed topper. This is particularly shown in states that show dramatic temperature drops and depend on the outdoor temperature compared to indoors (mainly experienced in Victoria). If this applies to you, we highly recommend you use the Ballistic Nylon fabric.

Ballistic Nylon

• Ballistic Nylon is a tough high-denier, tightly bound fabric with great tension and abrasion resistance.
• A non-breathable finish, free of teeth and claw-catching holes.
• This canvas-like material is used for military body armour. It is also commonly used in work wear, luggage bags, hiking gear, and duffel bags.
• Best for dogs with sensitive skin, particularly dogs with contact dermatitis.
• Does not sweat in heat, retain body heat, or warm in heated environments.
• Senior dogs may prefer this fabric as it is softer and provides better traction than vinyl.
• Holds up to 45kg.
• NOTE: Noise from a dog’s claws can be noisy against the ballistic nylon. Adding a Kuranda dog bed cover will reduce the sound.

Outdoor Mesh

• Perfect for the outdoors.
• The Outdoor Mesh (Textilene) fabric is a water-repellant open weave that allows pets to stay cool and dry.
• Allows water to pass through and is breathable, similar to outdoor furniture fabric.
• Does not sweat in heat, retain body heat, or warm in heated environments.
• Designed for outdoor use, Textilene fabric is UV-resistant and withstands exposure to the elements without fading or deteriorating.
• The fabric does not absorb odors, moisture, or stains, helping to maintain a fresh and clean bed for your pet.
• Holds up to 45kg.
• NOTE: Due to the open weave design, it is more vulnerable to dogs who may dig excessively or who may be more destructive..
