  • About Leather Types of Leather
    About Leather Types of Leather Leather is an ancient, durable material created through a process of tanning animal rawhide to preserve it and make it pliable when dry. Many features of natural leather make it superior to synthetic products including durability, comfort, beauty, suppleness, and resilience. Plus, leather’s ability to patina and absorb body oils continues to enhance the leather’s appearance and makes it more beautiful over time. Leather can broadly be divided into full grain, enhanced grain, corrected grain, top grain and split leathers. Full Grain Leather Full grain leather has no surface alterations. The hide’s natural pores and grain textures are intact and it will develop a patina over time. The tiny pinholes dotting the surface indicate the hide’s open hair follicles. The presence of these hair follicles demonstrates a high quality surface which has not been altered to conceal flaws. This full grain surface breathes. It keeps the user Full grain comfortable as it adjusts to body temperature. Full grain leather is the highest quality, most beautiful, and most comfortable leather available. Enhanced Grain Leather Enhanced grain leather is a full grain with an artificial grain embossed over the natural grain. Enhanced grain leather has the same comfort and breathability of a full grain, but the surface has received minor alteration to improve grain Enhanced grain appearance. Corrected Grain Leather Corrected grain leather is produced from the upper portion of the hide. The surface is lightly sanded or refined then embossed with an artificial grain texture. Corrected grain leathers have a more consistent appearance across the entire surface.

  • Img Leather Guide
    IMG LEATHER GUIDE Whether you desire a racy red, powerful pewter or go-for-it green, we have a plethora of shades that can serve as your foundation for great design. IMG offers four grades of leather choices to suit any décor, budget and maintenance expectation. The wide variety of grades and colors offered by IMG allows you to select leather that will meet your budget, fashion and lifestyle needs. www.imgcomfort.com 1 LEATHER CARE Every hide tells a story No two leather hides are exactly alike, because each has a different history that may include climate, age and heredity. Natural Variation in Texture Premium leather hides used for upholstering furniture will exhibit non-uniform surface qualities, depending on the area of the hide from which they were cut. Pigment-dyed, buffed and embossed leather will obscure some of these natural texture characteristics. Variations in texture are not flaws and will not affect the leather’s durability. Common surface variations include scratches, wrinkles and healed scars. A. Scratches Smooth to the touch, these rub marks may accept dye with slight variation to the surrounding area. A B. Wrinkles Natural folds highlight unique grain patterns. B C. Healed Scars Barbed-wire scratches and abrasions create organic surface texture and one-of-a-kind authentic leather characteristics. These marks do not affect the durability of the hide. C Natural Variation in Shades Premium aniline and semi aniline dyed leather may further display subtle variations of color across the surface of the hide. When the hide is cut and sewn together on your furniture, care is taken to attempt to match adjacent pieces, but subtle color differences may occur.

  • The Treatment of Furniture Leathers
    THE TREATMENT OF FURNITURE LEATHERS Most furniture leathers are coated with a colour pigment and protected with a matt top coat. There are also high-quality porousd leathers (called aniline or semi-aniline leather), suede or nubuck and cheap coated PU leather. On aniline leather, a rubbed-in drop of water, in an undamaged area, will darken the leather. Its​ porousd. The following instructions are for pigmented, matt top-coated leather. Please contact a specialist if you have one of the other mentioned types. Recommendation for the care of new leather (pigmented napa): In the case of visible soiling, the leather should be treated with the Mild Leather Cleaner. Depending on the amount of use, the leather should be treated sparingly with our care cream, Leather Protector , every three to six months. This product is ideal for napa leather. It maintains soness and flexibility while preventing shrinkage and fading. Discolouration caused by jeans and dark clothing is a problem on new, light-coloured leather. In such cases, we recommend protecting contact areas (hand, head and leg areas) with Leather Shield. It prevents dye migration and friction damage. Always clean first when soiled! Recommendation for the care of older leather: Soiling should be cleaned with the Mild Leather Cleaner to prevent fixation of dirt. The Leather Cleaning Brush helps to remove soiling from the leather grain. Leathers that show light fading or areas of friction wear can be refreshed with Leather Fresh, a leather toner which is available in 46 standard colours or mixed according to your sample. Leather Fresh also re-seals the damaged surface.

  • Leather Maintenance and Cleaning
    Leather Maintenance and Cleaning About Leather Leather is a beautiful and durable material which will outwear textiles many times over. Since fabrics are woven, any change in appearance from age and use detracts from the beauty. Leather, on the other hand, ages gracefully and is resilient and expected to change. Full grain leather is not demanding and requires very little care. It should not be abused by harsh cleaners or substances such as wax or mink oils, saddle soap, or leather polishes. These become sealants which keep premium full grain leathers from breathing and may eventually dry and crack. Maintenance and Cleaning The following guidelines maintain the beauty of Spinneybeck leather without destroying any of the natural characteristics. Please note that certain inks or stains cannot be removed from leather just as they cannot be removed from other fabrics. Use caution to avoid these incidents. Spinneybeck offers leather maintenance products specially formulated to care for various types of leather including cleaners, conditioners, and ink removers. Finished Leather Naked (or Aniline) Leathers Finished leather, the most popular, is smooth and has Naked (or aniline) leathers have the least amount of a satiny finish. Its breathable, protective finish makes it protective finish. While most are treated at the tannery most suitable for high traffic areas or contract use.
