What Is a Leather Floor Tile? What Is a Leather Wall Tile? Leather tiles are not something new, at least not to us. We have spent over 25 years working through the challenges to make these leather tiles what they are today—practical, workable, extremely beautiful, and, in stock.
Leather made for floors and walls is beautiful; it wears and wears in, gradually developing a rich, natural patina which is the true mark of quality leather. Only leather dyed through and through gives this result. Leather floors and walls soften sound, warm the atmosphere, feel great underfoot, get better with age, and become a good friend. Leather for floor and wall tiles is tanned by an age-old GREEN process using the finest, most selected European hides. Only one tannery in the world can tan and dye these hides to the highest standards. The slow tanning process keeps the leather alive and resilient, which allows the aniline dyes to penetrate through and through the hides. This ancient vegetable tanning process was originally used to make leather for industrial use and for fine saddlery. Vegetable tanning adds extra life and resilience to the hide, creating an ever-breathing, changing leather. It enhances the natural beauty of the hide. It is strong! Only the center portion of this hide, where the thickness is uniform and the fibers strongest, can be used for floor tiles. They must be consistent in weight. Cutting the tiles requires specially-built dies and heavy-duty cutting equipment in order to maintain equal pressure. The results are amazing—a life-long leather accessory for home, office, hotel, restaurant, etc. The Ultimate Luxury—Leather Floor Tiles. Watch the leather age with time. |
