Faux Leather

The highly versatile, faux leather upholstery fabric (sometimes referred to as Vinyl fabric) can be specified for a wide range of commercial projects and settings. Whether you’re creating stunning interiors for hotel lobbies, comfy outdoor chairs for cruise ships or seating for a healthcare setting, there is no shortage of options with our vast collection. Beautifully detailed and displaying an array of colours and textures, this stylish yet practical material can perfectly complement existing schemes or can form the basis of a new scheme.

The versatility of faux leather continues, great for fixed or loose seating, great to mix and match with other materials and designs, use on the front of the seat and feature a bold woven on the back, try a rainbow of colours on a banquette seat. With faux leather, you can have great design as well as unparalleled performance.

We’re totally committed to sustainability and reducing our impact on the environment. This is why we felt creating an environmentally friendly faux leather fabric for upholstery was a logical next step. We recognise that customers are championing ethical causes more than ever and, as a business, you will want to do all you can to cater to this mindset, while still allowing your customers to benefit from beautiful aesthetics and product longevity.

Unlike real leather, faux leather upholstery is good for the environment and vegan friendly. Real leather is also a huge contributor towards ‘eutrophication’, an environmental issue that pollutes water by taking away light and certain necessary nutrients. Turning hide into leather also often involves the use of harsh chemicals, something we always aim to avoid whenever possible.

In addition to this, faux leather upholstery fabrics are considerably less expensive than their counterpart — making them much more cost-effective. As a result, you can create the same stylish environments as you could with real leather, while reducing the impact on the planet and your budget.

While there are many benefits to faux leather upholstery fabric, it’s important to understand that not all materials are the same. For example, some will crack and delaminate as they struggle to cope with standard cleaning protocols. As a result, it’s important to work with a supplier you can rely on to provide high-quality products — every time. You need to speak to Panaz.

Our faux upholstery leather excels in the performance arena. All our products are waterproof and stain resistant, while many feature our unique multi-layer protection system which enables them to resist the harsh chemicals often found in cleaning products. As a result, they are ideal for high-traffic environments like hotel rooms and lobbies, busy restaurants and bars, and healthcare waiting rooms. Also available on many ranges is our patented ShieldPlus technology, a water-based, antimicrobial treatment with no harmful chemicals which kills bacteria immediately — making it the safest choice in the contract fabric market.

Because we’re committed to sustainability, our faux leather upholstery fabric is produced using vegan-friendly measures and treatments (unlike many of our competitors), and is also PFAS free. We also pride ourselves on the quality of our materials and service. We firmly believe in the concept of creating customers for life, not just one-time transactions, which is why we work tirelessly to supply you with everything you need to create the perfect environment. Our attention to detail on not just technical performance, but also on design aesthetics has ensured that we have one of, if not the largest, selection of colours available. With over 100 colours to choose from you’re sure to find the ideal shade to suit any scheme. When only the best will do, you need to speak to us.
