If you’re in the market for new furniture, which it is safe to assume that you are since you are reading this blog, you’ve undoubtedly encountered the term bi-cast leather.
It is important to know what your furniture is made of and how it will perform based on your individual needs and intended uses of that furniture.
Outfitting a home is always an investment and should be done according to what appeals to you as well as what exactly you’re looking for.
Bi-cast leather is a split leather that is then laminated over with a polyethylene finish to add to the durability of the furniture that is upholstered in the material.
This polyethylene finish makes bi-cast leather easier to clean and maintain than most furniture upholstered in top-grain leather.
Furniture upholstered in bi-cast leather has significant cost-saving advantages for those who may be purchasing a substantial amount of furniture as opposed to an individual piece.
Each furniture manufacturer has a different process or formula for their own rendition of bi-cast leather, so questions of the exact durability or lifespan varies. Be sure to contact the manufacturers with any questions and refer to customer feedback.
Bi-cast leather can be a great option for you to consider depending upon your specific needs, budget and design scenario.
