17 TYPES OF UPHOLSTERY LEATHER There are 4 main types of upholstery leather; Aniline, Nubuck, Semi-Aniline & Pigmented. Each type will perform differently. ANILINE All Aniline leathers are delicate and sensitive hides that are dyed through. Some Aniline leathers may have no protective coating at all yet others may have only a light surface finish/protection leaving a very natural feel and appearance that will age beautifully over time but are also more vulnerable to marking, scratching and fading. The surface coating, if it has one, is not pigmented in any way. Nature s markings are part of the appeal of this type of leather and should be appreciated. Healed scars, bug bites, neck & belly wrinkles all contribute to the character of these very elegant leathers. Colour variation is a natural characteristic of any Aniline leather and colours will vary from hide to hide and dye-lot to dye-lot. When pulled, stretched or used in tightly upholstered applications, expect the colour and sheen to vary on pull-up and distressed leathers. Anilines are not as colourfast as Pigmented hides. Prolonged exposure to light and heat will cause Aniline leathers to fade. A more careful maintenance and understanding of this type of leather is required by the customer to ensure that the leather is fit for purpose. Please check that an Aniline leather will be suitable for your requirements. NUBUCK A top-grain Aniline leather that has been buffed or sanded on the grain side, to give a slight nap of short protein fibres, producing a velvet-like surface. Nubuck is an unprotected leather and is more subject to staining than an Aniline due to the brushed fibres. A more careful maintenance and understanding of this type of leather is required by the customer to ensure that the leather is fit for purpose. SEMI-ANILINE These hides are dyed through and then given a light pigment coating. This maintains the natural look, luxurious touch and also makes the leather more durable and easier to care for than an Aniline. PIGMENTED These hides undergo the same processes as Aniline and Semi-Aniline leather, but are then given additional pigmented finishes and treatments to enhance the yield and durability to make the leather easier to clean and maintain. UPHOLSTERY TEST STANDARDS The leathers within this collection are produced by some of the most sophisticated tanneries in the world. They have endured many tests and meet the British & European standards for domestic upholstery leather use. This includes the cigarette and match requirements of the Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 that have been tested at UKAS approved laboratories. For all other environments please contact us with your specifications and to discuss your requirements before placing an order. We will always try our best to find a suitable leather. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION SHEETS These are available upon request and also downloadable from our website. CRIB 5 (CONTRACT FIRE TREATMENT) We have teamed up with one of the country s leading flame proofers to provide all of our crib 5 treatment at a very competitive price. All our leathers are able to be treated to this standard. We pride ourselves in being one of the very few companies that can supply a certificate for every treated batch to ensure that all your leather meets the required tests, when tested in combination with the appropriate foam. Please note: For non-domestic environments extra fire treatment may be needed for all the leathers in this brochure. Check your leather selection will be suitable for requirements. Please contact us with your specifications. QUALITY All our tanneries are committed to quality and meet the BS EN ISO 9001 standards. ENVIRONMENT Wildman & Bugby buy from responsible, reliable and sustainable sources with all due care and attention and would never knowingly buy from tanneries that mistreat animals in any way. The hides we buy are a byproduct from the meat industry and fully traceable back to the tannery who declare that the leathers they supply us have been treated, tanned and are suitable for upholstery purposes. All their leathers comply with the strict regulations and EU Directives covering the use and presence of PCP, CFC, Chrome VI and Azo dyestuffs during the tanning process and also produce their leather to conform to the REACH regulations. Wildman & Bugby Ltd take our environmental responsibility seriously. We are always looking at ways to improve our environmental sustainability and consider the environment in every business activity we do to prevent or minimise waste and recycle where possible. CARE OF YOUR LEATHER To give you years of enjoyment from your leather furniture, please observe the following: ALL UPHOLSTERY LEATHER Avoid exposing your furniture to direct sunlight or direct heat. Avoid sharp objects such as studs, buckles and zips coming into contact with the furniture. Dust and vacuum your furniture regularly. Leathers these days do not need to be fed and the use of saddle soap or wax polishes should be avoided, especially spray polishes. Use of general household cleaning products, chemicals and abrasives are not recommended as they can break down the protective surface and cause damage. Do not use any method or product not recommended by the manufacturer. SEMI-ANILINE & PIGMENTED INSTRUCTIONS Wipe off stains and spills immediately with a soft, lightly damp cloth taking care not to soak the leather. ANILINE & NUBUCK INSTRUCTIONS Spills should be blotted immediately with an absorbent dry cloth. Do not rub. Please note: Lighter colours of leather will be more prone to staining. Leather is a 100% natural product. Each hide is truly unique and individual bearing the distinctive marks and characteristics of its natural origin which will vary from hide to hide. These are its beauty and give leather its authenticity, luxurious good looks, style, comfort, long lasting durability and will develop a patina over time. TEL: +44 (0) leather@wildmanbugby.co.uk
