Frame
The wooden
frame on this collection is composed of
beech wood and ash. These woods are selected
at source and seasoned for a minimum of 2
tears to ensure long term durability. All of
the corners and load bearing areas of our
frames are additionally secured with heavy
duty corner blocks to add to the strength
and durability of the frame. Upon completion
of the construction of the frame, we encase
the entire structure. This process ensures
the strength and integrity of the frame. We
the put one inch of foam around the frame
before upholstery so that when you touch the
sides and backs you notice a firm/soft
sensation not four inches of play between
the leather and frame as you would find with
most of our competitors.
Suspension
Unit
We
incorporate in our suspension unit; heavy
duty nine gauge sinuous spring steel. These
“S” shaped steel springs are fastened to the
top of the front rail and run from the front
to the back of the piece two inches apart.
These springs are attached to the frame
using heavy duty clips. Two firm rods are
used to hold the springs in place which
offers additional durability to the sitting
area, both on the front and back of each
individual seat. We also attach a canvas
barrier between the foam and the steel
springs. This does not allow the foam to
wear. We use five steel springs per seat to
ensure the strength, comfort and durability
of the foam cushion core. We will continue
to use heavy duty European elastic webbing
to support the back and seat cushions only.
This material holds 720 pounds of pressure
per square inch. In addition: we use two
solid wooden stretchers that runs front to
back to stabilize and strengthen the frame
against the tension of the steel sinuous
springs. This adds to the strength of the
frame itself.
Leather: 150
Whiskey
The leather
on this model is semi aniline. This means
that the leather is colored thru and thru
and does possess a light coat of
polyurethane finish on the surface of the
leather. This gives the consumer versatility
in wear and use. The most common household
stains can be easily cleaned with a damp
cloth and mild soap if addressed within
minutes of the spill, spot or stain. The
grain texture on this leather is natural and
antiqued. This leather is designed and
marketed to resemble an old world distressed
look and feel. You will notice some color
variations and grain variations between each
piece and sometimes within the same piece.
These are natural characteristics and should
not be considered unusual.
Cushions & Seating
The seat
cushions are composed of polyurethane foam
cores with a high quality Dacron topper on
the surface for comfort. The density of
these cushions will vary from 2.0 to 2.3.
This is a unit of measurement of the number
of porous holes in the cushion. The standard
quality in our industry would be 1.8. The
back cushions are composed of Dacron fiber
which is blown in to vertically and
horizontally channeled bags. This ensures
that the proper amount of Dacron is blown in
the same every time.
