Water Resistant vs Waterproof Leather

Are you searching for waterproof leather? Many people ask us if leather can be used in areas near water like yacht interiors, summer homes, or beach-side resorts. If it is the right type of leather, yes.

Leather can be used for many purposes. GTEX Fabrics offers LeatherShield to assist designers in choosing the right leather for their projects. Garrett Leather has created LeatherShield, a special class that is only available to select Leather products that can withstand high-traffic areas. These products are treated during tanning to provide flame, stain, and water resistance as well as UV and Anti-bacterial protection with no additional treatment and no added costs. Although 14 product lines fall under the LeatherShield umbrella, Torino is the only waterproof product. What's the difference?

Water Resistant Leather

Leather is a porous, natural material. Some leather types are protected after tanning. This water-resistant finish protects LeatherShield products from liquid absorption. Additional treatment is not required. LeatherShield leather will absorb any liquids that are spilled onto it. Use a dry, clean cloth to wipe the spillage immediately. The liquid will eventually seep into the leather's tiny pores if it is left to sit for more than a few hours. These leathers are made from mineral tanned leather and are water resistant. Even if the liquid seeps through, it will not cause damage to the leather. LeatherShield products offer extra protection from spills and greater durability than fabrics that absorb spills right away.

Waterproof Leather

Torino is made from LeatherShield leather with a waterproof finish. This waterproof finish protects against spills no matter how long they sit on the surface. We placed Torino leather on a vase, and filled it up with water. The leather's finish was not affected by the water over three days. Although this is quite extreme, it provides protection for those who need waterproof protection. Torino is an excellent choice for yachts, summer houses, and beach-side resorts. However, all of our semi-aniline water-resistant products are recommended for those same applications.
