Why Choose Leatherette for Upholstery
Leatherette, often called vinyl upholstery fabric or synthetic leather, resists spills and stains far better than most woven textiles. That makes it a smart pick for busy kitchens, kids' rooms, commercial seating and outdoor spaces.
What to Look For
- Durability: Check abrasion ratings, such as double rubs, to match the fabric to how much use the piece will get.
- Backing: A knit or woven backing adds stretch and strength, helping the material wrap curves and corners smoothly.
- Finish and texture: Choose from smooth, pebbled or embossed grains to suit modern or classic styles.
- Intended setting: For boats and patios, look for marine vinyl made to handle moisture and sun exposure.
