HOW TO SPECIFY THE PERFECT LEATHER FLOOR

Leather floors not only offer the luxury of a totally natural floor covering, they also deliver an absolutely stunning and utterly inimitable look.

Leather floors are durable, elegant and always in fashion. Completely versatile, they can blend luxuriously into a contemporary environment or significantly enhance the classic appeal of a residence that has been more traditionally furnished with fine art and antiques. Uniquely, they get better with age, developing a saddle-worn patina, their constantly changing character simply confirming the quality of the full-grain leather.

But to specify the right leather floor – a floor that will last a lifetime – you must look deeper than mere aesthetics and ask the right questions.

• Where was the leather sourced?
• Has the correct part of the hide been used?
• Has the leather been correctly tanned?
• Was it cowhide or oxhide?
• Was the leather aniline-dyed right through or surface sprayed?
• Is the leather bonded to a correctly engineered backing board?
• Can the floors be used above radiant under-floor heating?

The answers to these questions and much more besides lie within.
