| The "Ultimate Leather Accessory"! |
| This isn't something new, but at Edelman Leather they have spent over 20 years working through the challenges to make these leather tiles what they are today - practical, workable, and extremely beautiful. |
The wall and floor tiles are cured
using an ancient vegetable
tanning process, originally used in
making leather for industrial uses as
well as for fine saddlery. Vegetable
tanning updated, adds extra life
and resilience to the hide, creating
an ever-breathing, changing
leather. It enhances the natural
beauty of the hide. The careful
selection of the appropriate hides
for flooring and walls is crucial. Only
the center portion of the hide,
where the uniformity of thickness
and the strongest fibers are, can be
used. Cutting the hide into tiles
needs specially built steel dies and
heavy duty cutting equipment in
order to maintain equal pressure.
The results are amazing!

Leather floor and wall tiles should be installed
on a clean, unfinished surface, preferably
plywood. Of course, all open subfloor seams
should be properly grouted. Never install on
sheet rock or drywall. To begin, always lay the
pattern starting in the middle of the room. The
tile should be laid to a line as a ceramic tile.
This way the spaces between the tiles will vary
just a bit. They will fit together like a puzzle.
Leather tiles themselves will vary slightly due
to their being a natural product and they
also need to be opened for a minimum of 48
hours before installation to acclimate and
“breathe”.
Leather for floors and walls is beautiful; it
wears and wears, gradually developing a
rich, natural patina that is the true mark of
quality leather. Only leather dyed through
and through gives this result. Leather floors
and walls soften sound, warm the
atmosphere, feel great underfoot, and get
better with age, becoming a good friend.
Leather floors have nothing to do with fashion
and everything to do with style. A leather floor
is, indeed, the Ultimate Leather Accessory!
