Top 3 Benefits of Artificial Leather - Responsive Industries Limited

Artificial or synthetic leather is the best substitute for genuine leather. This leather is made up of either poly urethane or polyvinyl chloride. Leatherette, corfam, koskin and poromeric imitation leather are different types of synthetic leather. Here are the top three benefits of synthetic leather.

Low cost: Synthetic leather due to its raw material is low in cost. Manufacturing this leather is not a costly task. The raw material for synthetic leather is easily available and can be produced on a large scale, unlike genuine leather for which the raw material itself is very rare and exotic which in turn make genuine leather very expensive. Synthetic leather material can be manufactured in bulk and is light and easy to transport. All these factors when added up together make it more cost effective than genuine leather.

Ease of maintenance: Maintenance of products manufactured from artificial leather is very easy and it is also easy on the pocket. Various products such as jackets to handbags are available in synthetic leather. As opposed to genuine leather, synthetic leather does not require investment in various products to maintain it. A simple rub from foam soaked in water will do for most synthetic leather products.

Saves wildlife: The biggest benefit of synthetic leather is that it does not involve any sort of killing of wild animals. Most genuine leather takes pride in being made of exotic animals, animals which are turning extinct today.

Other than synthetic leather, vinyl or PVC is used to make various other products. Flooring is one of the fastest growing vinyl products these days. Vinyl flooring suppliers can be found across the world so make sure you choose an established one. These flooring's are durable, cost effective and as easy to maintain as synthetic leather.

Why Invest in Homogeneous Vinyl Flooring?

Vinyl or PVC floorings are used across the world. Their application ranges from home use to industrial. Vinyl floorings are primarily classified into two types – homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous PVC flooring covering is made up of one single layer while heterogeneous flooring has multiple layers. This is the material or structural difference between these two types of flooring.

Homogeneous Vinyl Flooring is not layered and does not have any backing material.  Its thickness is usually 80 mils. The single layer structure offers great depth in color and vibrancy. It also gives the flooring a long life and makes it durable for years. It is very effective in high traffic areas. These types of flooring's have a certain amount of flexibility to it. This is a very important factor while selecting flooring's, especially for sports arena surfaces.

Other than the above mentioned benefits of vibrancy in color, durability and flexibility; Homogeneous Flooring is very cost effective, especially when compared with other types of flooring's such as wood and marble. This type of flooring is easy to install. You can also try out a combination of various colors to add to the vibrancy or bring life to a space.

Maintenance of this flooring is simple, which is a big relief for most users. Even if a sheet is damaged you can easily replace it without affecting the whole floor. Cleaning is simple and cost effective. All you need is mild floor cleaner mixed in water and a mop. Just remember to dry off any water left over on the floor. The application of this type of PVC flooring is mostly used in schools and offices and other spaces that need to be lively. For all the above reasons homogeneous type of vinyl flooring is a great long term investment.
