How It’s Made

 

Our close-up pads all begin their life as two layers of reinforced cork board. This provides a backing that is both affordable, lightweight and sturdy (just remember it’s a display piece, not a surf board). We then add padding on both sides to ensure comfort, functionality, and a certain sense of luxury. Each close-up pad is paired with backings made from upholstery vinyl, sourced by the touch to ensure a quality that never feels plasticky and always feels like it should be part of a high performance vehicle. We use 100% polyester velvet for our performance surfaces, double rub rated to 100,000 rubs (that’s good!). All the velvet we source has been checked to ensure cards run perfectly along them, never snagging or bending when picking up your spreads. All close-up pads are made with the nap going up and down to ensure perfect action.
