Freedman by Lippert is proud to offer high performing, transportation grade upholstery options as part of our in-stock catalog. As we continue to source materials from the industry’s most trusted mills, we keep price, availability, and performance specifications top of mind.
To distinguish two of our most popular in-stock vinyl, the following name changes will take effect immediately:
- Newport is now Corona.
Corona is a durable, level 1 vinyl with a unique textured look. It is available in 4 colors (in-stock). - Predictions is now Ventura.
Ventura is a level 3 vinyl that has been treated with antimicrobial agents that provide resistance bacteria. It is available in 6 colors (in-stock).
What does this mean for Freedman customers?
- Part numbers will stay the same.
- Performance specifications will stay the same. Both materials meet FMVSS 302.
- Customers will notice new names listed on sales orders and quotes.
