Hide Your Floors
Leather flooring is one of the most luxurious and decadent flooring imaginable. Walk bare-foot and the surface immediately adjusts to your body temperature. It feels warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It also, never loses that wonderful, pleasing leather scent. Over time, the increased wear creates the appearance of rich patina, or the look that gives leather its unique character.
Leather tiles are available in a myriad of earthy colors as well as custom shades, inlay, laser engraving and embossing. They are approximately 1/8" thick and come in all sizes. Go for the standard 12"x12", 24"x24" or go for decorative borders, inserts, herringbone patters or custom layouts. Design choices are limited only by your imagination.
In addition to flooring, leather makes a luxurious covering for wall paneling or even crown molding. The styles range from traditional and sophisticated, to modern and contemporary.
Leather tiles work well in most areas of the house, adding a rich and inviting feel to a dining room or living room. They create a warm and relaxing atmosphere in a sitting room or library, and work well in media rooms because leather is great for sound control. The comfort of walking barefoot on these floors makes it a popular choice for the bedroom. Installation in the kitchen or bathroom is not suggested, due to the large amount of moisture, and harsh cleaners the tiles would be subjected to.
Maintenance
When first installed, the tiles require an initial coating of paste wax followed by two or three coats of bowling alley wax. Its very important to apply the paste wax first or you may get a white haze on the leather. Subsequent tile maintenance is fairly easy; consisting of a regular dry dust mopping and intermittent damp mopping for general cleaning. Spills should be wiped up immediately to avoid any build of moisture for an extended period of time.
Things to avoid
Never wax leather wall tiles.
Refrain from using abrasive cleaners, soap, furniture polish, varnish, solvent, ammonia products, or wax containing a high concentration of Carnauba.
Never place rubber backed or non-ventilated rugs, rug padding or mats on top of the leather.
Exposing the tiles to direct sunlight for extended periods of time may cause fading or color variations.
Installation
Leather tiles can be glued to any wood or concrete surface. Painted or treated floors need to be sanded or roughed up prior to installation to ensure the glue will adhere to the surface. Floors need to be clean, level, with any cracks filled and sanded. Just one grain of sand will surface under the tile, making it appear larger.
The glue should be a non-flammable water based adhesive applied to both the back of the tile and the floor. Once it has dried to the touch, it can be pressed in place. Leather tiles are prone to curling and shrinkage, so its imperative the tiles are stuck extremely tight.

10/18 - so far this bench has held up in the AZ sun, wind and rain. I have not applied any treatment as I preferred that it weather naturally. It was purchased 5/17.

Sturdy design, stylish looking shoe storage. Even large sized shoes and high heels fit perfectly. We placed it outside our home under the porch. Let’s see how it is gonna cope with winter weather.

I love these chairs. They are comfortable and very practical for my lifestyle. We have a pool so I needed something that couldn’t hold up to wet bathing suits and spills. You can wipe these chairs off with a wet rag and you’re good to go.
