Leather sofa is composed of three parts. They are leather, sponge and frame. Leather is the most important part. Because many people reflect that the inner frame of the leather sofa purchased before is good. But peeling and cracking occur frequently.
We can divide the leather process into dip dyeing and spraying process. Material suitable for dip dyeing process are raw skin and head skin. The spraying process is to spray paint on the surface of the skin. It is not wear-resistant and easy to drop paint.
The selection of leather sofa should be based on the parameters of it.
1. Leather Units
One square meter equals about 10.8 square feet (ca. 1 m²). Because leather will be scaled down and irregular, the default error is 3%. If the leather bought back by the furniture factory is 100 feet (ca. 30 m), it is possible to buy more than 97 feet (ca. 30 m). Due to the influence of price war, sometimes 100 feet (ca. 30 m) of skin can be bought back. But it may only be 90 feet. There are 80% or even 65% of the products that are inferior in the market. This leather cannot be visually inspected unless it is loaded with a leather measuring machine.
2. The Unit of the Sofa
A standard sofa: one plus two plus three
The amount of leather used for conventional leather sofas is about half of genuine leather and half of simulated leather. The amount of genuine leather is about 150 to 200 feet (ca. 61 m). The amount of leather used for all-leather sofas is about 300 to 350 feet (0.11 km). If you add a separate seat cushion, you need to add another 150 feet (ca. 46 m) of leather.
The cutting rate of genuine leather, or the utilization rate, is hard to judge. Some have lots of skin scars in the corresponding batch. Some have sofa design problems, and the opening version is wasteful. This amount is hard to say. If it floats up and down 50 feet, there is a difference of one skin. The cost of sofas that look the same varies.
The production of genuine leather varies. According to the craft, thickness and style, there are different names. The names of some classifications are similar. This makes it difficult for people to understand. The following classification is only based on the actual situation of leather companies, furniture companies and consumers. Such classification may not be scientific, but that's the truth.
There are two kinds of two-layer skin. One is dry brush and the other is film. The second layer of skin has the difference between buffalo skin and cattle skin. Cowhide is expensive. Buffalo hide is cheap. The second layer of skin can achieve a high degree of imitation of the first layer of skin. Skin splicing can reach the level of fine imitation.
Embossed thin skin should be the most widely used skin. Whether it is for civil use or office use. Modern sofas are widely used. Pearlescent skin is almost destroyed by the market. There is semi-thick skin. Semi-thick leather is genuine leather with high cost performance. The article will not introduce the other sofa leather. Many of them have disappeared in the market. The choice of leather sofa requires professional knowledge. I hope this article can help you.
