Doubt one on a leather or imitation leather sofa

· 20 replies · 6088 views

Hello,

as agreed during our telephone interview I am sending you pictures of my sofa.

I have a doubt about the material of my sofa it was sold to me like a leather sofa but I think it is imitation.

What type of product should I use to change its appearance?

Here are my phone numbers 06 14 14 65 77 92

    Hello,

    We do not see well at all on the pictures, the best is to send us a lamella of material taken in a cushion, cut out ,ready seams 5 mm wide and 2 or 3 cm long, we suffice.

    It's too difficult to do. We should dehousser the sofa.

    I sent you another picture from the inside at the seams taken with another camera.

    Is this more visible to you?

    The underside looks like weaving from the photo, so it's imitation leather, and it also flakes. So there's a good chance it's fake. Leatherette is a fabric covered with a plastic film. There remains the fire test, approach a flame above (make on a hidden part) the leatherette or imitation melts, not the leather.

    Hello,

    yes indeed it melts, could you now tell me if I will have an optimal result given the state of the sofa, and if so what type of product should I use.

    Thank you. Thank you.

    Hello,

    With the products we will deliver to you you will have an optimal result but the application with the roller should be done in cross with an application time between coats of at least 5/6 hours ,with a minimum of 3 coats at the flakes places. In fact, you will apply a hairspray to block the degradation of the initial color. This solvent-based hairspray should be rolled well to avoid dissolving the previous coat. If you can apply it with a spray gun, it is easier. This product does not require a protective varnish but we guarantee its resistance to friction.
