A Cutting for Approval (CFA) is a small cutting of wallcovering material taken from the same dye lot that has been reserved for an order. CFAs are used in the design and production process, particularly when dealing with products that commonly have color variation, such as natural materials. CFA availability is indicated on the website next to the item. It may be listed as either “Recommended” or “Not Available” for specific products, depending on whether CFAs are routinely provided for that item.
CFAs can be requested when a quote or order is being processed, allowing designers and customers to ensure they receive the desired color and texture for their projects.
