Every winter, many people choose blankets, home clothes or nightgowns made of PV velvet because it is soft, smooth and looks high-end. But many people will also be curious:What is the thermal insulation performance of PV fleece? Is it really warmer compared to other velvet fabrics?
This article will give you a comprehensive understanding of the thermal insulation performance of PV velvet from multiple perspectives such as material structure, thermal insulation principles, and user experience.
1. What material is PV velvet?
The English name of PV velvet isPoly Velvet (polyester velvet), is a kind ofHigh-density polyester microfiberMade of suede fabric. It uses special processes such as cutting and rocking to form a fine, uniform and smooth velvet layer on the surface.
Compared with ordinary coral velvet and flannel, PV velvetThe pile is longer, denser and firmer in texture, it feels silky smooth to the touch.
This structure not only makes the fabric feel delicate, but also lays the foundation for its excellent thermal performance.
2. Why does PV velvet have good warmth retention properties?
The reason why PV velvet can stand out among many velvet fabrics is mainly because of the following characteristics:
1. High-density structure has good temperature locking effect
The weaving density of PV velvet is very high, with almost no gaps between fibers. The fleece layer can form an "air insulation layer" that effectively blocks the entry of cold air and prevents body temperature from being lost easily.
2. The fluff is thick and fluffy, making it warmer against the skin.
Compared with coral velvet and flannel, PV velvet has longer and finer fluff. When the fluffy fluff covers the surface of the skin, it stores a large amount of air. This trapped air can act as a natural insulation.
3. The material is light but has strong heat storage
Although PV velvet looks thick, it is relatively light in weight. Its microfiber can quickly lock in heat, making the body feel warm in a short time.
4. Not easy to shed, long-lasting warmth
Because the fluff of PV velvet is fixed on the base fabric through the cutting process, it is not easy to fall off. It will not become significantly thinner after being used for a long time, and its thermal insulation performance is more stable.
Therefore, whether used as a blanket, shawl or winter home wear, PV fleece can bring a very comfortable and warm experience.
3. Comparison of the thermal insulation effect of PV velvet with other velvet materials
Many people will compare PV fleece with flannel, coral fleece, and polar fleece to see which one is warmer.
Taken together:
PV velvet is thicker and has strong warmth retention properties.
Flannel is second, soft and skin-friendly, and slightly better breathable.
Coral fleece is light and fluffy, suitable for areas with higher temperatures.
Polar fleece is more suitable for sports and outdoor use, with good warmth retention but a slightly dry feel.
If you live in the north or your home is relatively cold, it would be more appropriate to choose a blanket or nightgown made of PV velvet.
In the south or in environments with sufficient heating, flannel and coral velvet will be more breathable and less stuffy.
4. Wearing and using experience of PV velvet
Wearing PV velvet home clothes or covering it with PV velvet blanket, you can clearly feel a "smooth wrapping feeling".
It is not as breathable and refreshing as cotton, but has a warm, delicate and silky feel.
Especially when you fall asleep on winter nights, PV velvet can quickly lock your body's heat, allowing you to enter a warm state faster.
In addition, PV velvet has the following experience advantages:
Not prone to static electricity and lint-free;
Not easy to deform after long-term use;
Bright colors and natural luster;
It's easy to care for and retains its softness after washing.
5. Maintenance suggestions for PV velvet
Although PV fleece has excellent thermal insulation performance, in order to extend its life and maintain softness, daily maintenance is also critical.
Use cold water or warm water below 30℃ when cleaning, to avoid high temperatures causing the fluff to harden.
Use neutral detergent, do not use bleach or strong alkali laundry detergent.
Use gentle cycle when machine washing, needs to be placed in a laundry bag.
It is better to dry naturally, do not expose or dry it to avoid knotting of fluff.
Keep dry before storing, to prevent moisture or crushed fluff.
As long as they are properly maintained, PV fleece products will remain soft and warm even after several years of use.
6. Summary: PV velvet, the true "high warmth velvet material"
Generally speaking, PV velvet is aHigh density, high warmth, high texturevelvet fabric.
It not only maintains a light touch, but also has excellent temperature locking effect, which is especially suitable for use in autumn and winter.
