Wedding Aisle Runner and polyproplene fabric Q. & A.

  I'm looking to create aisle runners for weddings and I've been asked to source out some wider fabric.  Your polypropylene non-woven fabric, is it tear-resistant? Would several people be able to walk down it the wedding aisle runner without it tearing or puncturing?  I'm just wondering how durable this fabric is? ?  Aisle runners typically run between 25-75 feet long, so a lot of fabric is required. Any help and direction is very much appreciated.  Thanks!

Our quick reply - details will follow

It will tear if not tacked down well.

How do I roll out the aisle runner?
Fabric rolled up on a cardboard tube.  You can put a cord through the tube and on to the cord and pull the runner down the aisle.see picture below its quite clear and easy

What is polypropylene fabric? - We use it primarily to make our decorative cushion insert shells and airline pillows. That is exactly how the fabric feels it is durable, will  not fall apart if gets a little wet.
Yes it can be used outdoors however if on the ground without a base heels will go through, Indoor and on a solid base you will have no problem with heels.
It can be stenciled or painted with monograms and other wedding motifs

We recommend securing the fabric to the floor or ground.use tacks or two sided tape.

That would depend on where your aisle runner is being used and the conditions. Things to consider: outdoors or indoors, weather (winds), unstable surfaces.
