Many seems to agree on the fact that as regards settee, the “last word” is without question leather. Noble material par excellence, robust if it correctly is maintained, naturalness… leather also has the advantage of agreeing to many styles, and as well lends itself to a contemporary interior design as with a more traditional, traditional or rustic decoration. But it should well be still recognized, once one decided to choose leather, is necessary it to choose leather in question. Indeed, in the field of leather, one can meet many terms of which it is sometimes difficult to seize exactly if not it direction, at least the distinction to be made between all and sundry. Thus let us review the various types of leathers:
Leather full flower: Leather full flower is entirely natural and keeps its grain of origin. It did not undergo any treatment suitable to denature it whatever manner that it is, only a light sandpapering is carried out. It is thus the leather of the best quality which is, most resistant in time and it can keep its beauty during 20 years. The other side of the coin, it is that to precisely be able to preserve it also a long time, it is essential to maintain it correctly. This maintenance of leather full flower can be rather hard and must be carried out very regularly. Your leather settee full flower will not support either to be put at severely tested: sensitive to the light, least friction, the sebum, with sweat, without speaking obviously about the possible tasks, one cannot say that it is a material easy to live. Thus consider with great attention the use that you wish to make your settee before launching you.
Leather corrected flower: Leather flower corrected, or rectified, is without question of a maintenance much easier, and fears generally much more resistant and the elements as much as leather full flower does not fear. Will know however that it will have neither the same aspect, nor the same feeling with the touch. Leather corrected flower, because of its treatment of more marked sandpapering and its glazed coating is at the same time flexible and resistant, resists the tasks, friction and the light well better than leather full flower. It is the leather easy to live, which the families with children and animals can even allow.
There exist other types of leather such as the granulated leather whose grains of origin of the skin were preserved, even accentuated, the pigmented leather, which preserved its flower but underwent a treatment making it possible to protect it in a durable way against the elements, velvety leather or nubuck which, although of a rather difficult maintenance, comprises an aspect skin of inimitable fishing and are very comfortable…
The possibilities are thus very numerous as regards leather for your settee, and best is undoubtedly to determine with precision your needs and your availability to occupy you of such a demanding piece of furniture, and to trust a professional who will be able to indicate the most relevant choice to you.
