PU Leather Upholstered Bar Stool

Our manufacturing process of PU leather begins with the creation of a fabric base, made of polyester. This fabric forms the foundation for the PU coating. A polyurethane layer is then applied to this base, creating the leather-like texture. This fabric undergoes a bonding process with a polyurethane layer, achieved through heat and pressure application, creating the characteristic leather-like texture.

Following the bonding of polyurethane to a fabric base, the PU leather undergoes essential treatments. Through embossing, natural grain patterns are replicated, creating a tactile feel that closely resembles genuine leather. Colouration, achieved through pigments or dyes, offers a broad spectrum of colours, from classic tones to vibrant shades, catering to diverse design preferences. 

Finally, an additional coating and finishing treatment is applied, contributing to its durability, creating a protective layer against stains and scratches, while adding a polished lustre to the PU leather, resulting in a visually appealing and versatile material for crafting stylish and resilient stools.

Key Benefits

• Ease of Maintenance: Cleaning PU leather is simple, requiring only a damp cloth to wipe away spills or dust. The material's resistance to stains makes it a practical choice for areas where occasional spills are common.
• Allergy Friendly: The allergy-friendly nature of PU leather makes it an ideal choice for those with sensitivities. Unlike traditional upholstery materials, PU leather doesn't provide a hospitable environment for allergens or dust mites to accumulate. 
• Sustainable Choice: PU leather is crafted from synthetic materials, reducing the need for large-scale animal farming and the associated environmental impact. Moreover, the production process generally involves fewer resources and emits fewer pollutants compared to the energy-intensive and chemically involved tanning processes associated with genuine leather. 
• High Abrasion Resistance: Our PU leather boasts excellent resistance to wear & tear, exceeding 50,000 Martindale rubs. This exceeds industry standards for heavy-duty use, ensuring the stools maintain their pristine appearance for years to come.
• Stain & Minor Scratch Resistance: The non-porous treatment of PU leather repels liquids and resists minor scratches, making it easier to clean up spills and prevent permanent marks. This is particularly beneficial in homes with children or pets.
• Fire Retardancy: Our PU leather upholstery is fire-resistance tested, complying with the UK fire safety standards for your peace of mind.
• Open Back Design: The open back design not only imparts a modern and airy aesthetic but also introduces an element of visual lightness, making these stools an ideal choice for creating an inviting and spacious ambiance in your home.

Foam Cushioning

These bar stools are fitted with thoughtfully crafted foam cushioning, made from high-quality polyurethane foam. The manufacturing process is extensive, starting with the precise combination of chemical ingredients like polyols and isocyanates. This controlled reaction produces a foam-like material. By introducing gas, we expand this mixture, resulting in lightweight yet supportive, body-conforming foam. 

The foam is then cut and shaped to fit the stool's design. To ensure durability, we subject the foam to extensive testing, including compression and abrasion tests. These tests simulate the wear and tear the foam might experience during everyday use, such as people sitting and getting down from the stool.

Matte Black Powder Coated Metal Legs

Our matte black powder coated metal legs undergo a fascinating transformation, marrying industrial strength with sophisticated aesthetics. The journey begins with choosing the right metal - steel is a popular choice due to its strength & durability. Using techniques like laser cutting, CNC machining, or bending, we transform the metal into the desired frame shape with high accuracy. It then undergoes degreasing to get rid of any surface contaminants for optimal adhesion of the coating. 

The heart of the process lies in the electrostatic powder coating - dry, finely ground particles of paint resins & hardeners, are sprayed onto the charged metal frame. The coated frame is then baked at 350°C, followed by slow cooling, to melt and solidify the powder into a durable finish that resists corrosion and daily wear & tear.

Care guide

• Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth on a routine basis to effectively remove dust particles and prevent the accumulation of dirt. This practice not only ensures a consistently clean and polished look but also safeguards against potential abrasions that can occur when dirt particles settle on the surface over time.
• Spot Clean: Promptly address spills by gently blotting the affected area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it may drive the spill deeper into the PU leather. For liquid spills, use a paper towel to absorb as much as possible before blotting.
• Gentle touch: Avoid using harsh brushes or abrasive cleaning tools, as they can damage the fibres. 
• Mild Cleaning Agents: Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or potent cleaning agents when caring for PU leather. Opt for gentle, water-based cleaning solutions and test it on a small area to ensure compatibility before application.

Buying Guide

• Counter Height: Before making your decision, make sure to measure the distance from the floor to the underside of your countertop or bar to find out the best seat height for your bar stools. As a general rule, a gap of around 25cm to 30cm is suitable. This allows people to sit comfortably with ample legroom and promotes ergonomic seating at your countertop or bar. Consider an adjustable bar stool, which allows for seamless height adjustment, ensuring comfortable seating for everyone.
• Backrest and Armrests: Decide if you prefer the support of a backrest or the freedom of movement offered by backless stools. Armrests can add comfort for prolonged sitting, but may not be suitable for tight spaces.
• Swivel vs. Stationary: When choosing between swivel and stationary stools, consider the dynamics of your space and the desired style. Swivel stools are designed with a rotating seat, providing increased mobility and flexibility. This is particularly beneficial in areas where people frequently move or need to reach different directions, such as in kitchen spaces or at a bar. On the other hand, stationary stools offer a more traditional and grounded aesthetic, ideal for creating a classic and stable seating arrangement. 
• Spacing: Ensure there is enough space between stools for comfortable seating. Aim for about 15cm of space between each stool. Determine the number of stools needed based on the length of your counter or bar and consider the available space.
