Leather interior for your car

       The leather upholstery instantly lifts your prestige. It makes you feel more comfortable while in the car, it looks great from the outside. It creates special mood and causes positive emotions in you and in your relatives and friends. Leather interior is elegant and unique. Except for that the noise isolation and acoustics improves in it, and owing to condensation of joints of plastic details the probability of occurrence of extraneous scratches noticeably decreases. It is important at carrying out of sound tuning the machine. 

Why AUTOLEATHER?

       Furniture or shoe leather can't serve a long time because of the number of factors: difference in temperatures, fidgeting of passengers on seats, influences of a sunlight and aggressive substances (the fulfilled gases, sweat and etc.). In some months of daily operation some cracks on a surface of these materials appear, color can be changed, the top layer is erased. That is why it was necessary for manufacturers to work out some improvement of leather manufacturing technology which subsequently was named automobile.                 The auto leather surpasses the "household" colleagues under many characteristics - it is more rigid, color resistant, it is less inclined to extension, is not afraid of chemical solvents (gasoline and etc.). Such quality is achieved not by cultivation of the special breeds of cattle, but owing to more complicated technological process of manufacturing. After all traditional operations - manufactures, paintings - a special polymeric sheeting is put on the leather and is pressed. During the last operation the demanded figure is received: "Mercedes", "BMW" or, for example, "crocodile leather style". In auto tuning another kind of a leather is used - punched, with fine apertures through surface, providing ventilation. Usually the middle of seats is covered with it.
      
Complex process of manufacturing influenced on the cost of auto leather - it is noticeably more expensive than furniture leather. But we wouldn't recommend to save money on it because the  work on tailoring isn't cheap and it will be unprofitable to re-alter (work + material) because of the leather defects. 
      
Also happens that some companies use not only automobile (applied by us) leather, but also furniture and even shoe leather. Sometimes clients aren't informed about it and pay as for a qualitative material. To be on the safe side ask the name (mark) of leather and where it was made. If there are some doubts, it is better to come to us with the sample of material which was offered and we'll help you to make your choice. 

ALCANTARA

       Good alternative or addition to auto leather is àlcantara. It appeared in 70th because of the deficiency of natural suede and  leather and there was a need for creation of a new finishing material. Alcantara appeared to be an excellent material for furnish not only furniture, but also car interiors. Under many characteristics it surpasses the auto leather � it isn't slippery, it heats up less in the sun, can be cleaned by many washing liquids. 
      
Unlike usual suede, àlcantara can't be salted. This material is often used in combination with auto leather, some inserts on seats and lateral coverings of doors are finished with it. As àlcantara  possesses the improved properties, it is a bit more expensive than regular leather.

Important "trifles"

       To make the car interior really original, it's not enough "to dress" it in leather. There are a  lot of factors: selection of color and the invoice of material and strings, a choice of seams, manufacturing of inscriptions - embroidery or stamping.
      
According to the experience of our company LUXAUTO we can draw a conclusion, that materials of two colors (shades) are most often used. A lot of colors will make your interior coarse.
      
The kind of seams also means a lot. Seams with bigger step and a bright thick string are used in sport cars interior. A fine step and strings in color of leather give to the interior elegance and accuracy. The quality of the string is also important. We use 100 %  Polyester strings of threefold torsion - they are very strong, do not fade on the sun, moisture resistant (will not decay), have high mechanical durability (resistance on break).
      
Our company LUXAUTO can offer a wide choice of variants and combinations of all these "trifles", so you will receive an interior in your own taste. It will give you only positive emotions from the beauty of the car interior where you spend a considerable part of the life.

IMPORTANT

       While finishing with leather it is very important to keep safety airbags in working condition (they are installed in steering wheel, backs of seats, covering of the ceiling and in the panel of devices). The nonprofessional approach can break the algorithm of working of car safety system, that can cause the airbags either will not reveal at all, or will work with delay. In both cases passengers will not be protected.
      
To make airbags work properly on the border of their opening we cut the leather from the inside almost on full depth, and then we impose a special seam which is easily torn at airbags opening.
      
The theme of airbags in leather interiors which aren't made industrially is rather actual because of the following reason. It happens that car interiors without airbags are sheathed by leather with the inscription SRS Airbag. Certainly, the presence of these safety means raises the cost of the car. However buying such car from the unfair seller, the car owner does not suspect that in emergency case the safety system will not work.

A bit "about sad"

       A good leather interior is not cheap, that's for sure. Depending on type of a material and complexity  of interior the furnish can cost from 500 up to 4000 Euro and more, and the lowest price assumes the use of material of low quality.
      
The high final price of leather tuning of interior includes not only cost of the materials chosen by you, but also the high quality of work of our skilled professionals, who do their best to make the product for you. Only professionals having big experience can sheathe the complex reliefs of side doors or the front panel qualitatively. It is not necessary to trust the car to beginners, because of the absolutely unexpected result (up to ignition of the front panel because of mistakes at furnish and assembly).

       Do not save on the safety and on your MOOD, just visit LUXAUTO and there will be more beauty in your life!

       See you,
       Your LUXAUTO.
