Kehls’ Roof Lining fabrics are designed to refresh and modernise vehicle interiors with durable, soft-touch materials that resist sagging and wear. Ideal for professional automotive trimmers and DIY refurbishment projects, these fabrics offer excellent adhesion, colour stability, and a clean, refined look that elevates any vehicle cabin.
Roof lining materials must withstand heat, humidity, and constant movement — without sagging or degrading. Kehls’ collection is engineered with stable backings, consistent colour finishes, and high bonding capability to ensure long-lasting, professional-grade results.

Roof lining comes from specialist motor trimming suppliers rather than general fabric shops, because it needs a foam backing bonded to the face cloth. Kehls stocks it alongside automotive carpet and seat vinyl, and cuts it from the roll to the length you need. Buying from a trim supplier means you can feel the foam thickness before you commit, and the piece comes off one roll with no joint across the roof.
A foam-backed knit or brushed fabric is the standard choice. The foam layer lets the material follow the curve of the roof board and hides small imperfections underneath. Plain woven fabric with no backing will not stretch into shape and tends to lift at the edges. Kehls carries Perforated for ventilation, Donelle for easy bonding and a smooth finish, and Birdseye for a textured woven appearance.
Motor trimming suppliers stock car roof lining next to automotive carpet, seat vinyl and boot lining, so the whole interior can be matched in one go. Kehls supplies both the trade and the public, and the fabric is cut from the roll rather than sold in fixed pre-cut sizes. That matters on a roof panel, where a joint down the middle is visible from every seat in the car.
Measure the roof board from the windscreen to the rear window and add roughly 150 millimetres at each end for wrapping and trimming. Most sedans need about two metres, and double cabs or SUVs closer to three. Roof lining comes on a wide roll that covers the width of almost any passenger vehicle in one piece, so length is usually the only measurement that matters.
