Luxe UV Premium Automotive Suede Range

The Luxe UV suede range is a high-performance suede designed for premium automotive applications as well as commercial furniture environments.

It has a low-nap nonwoven finish commonly used in high-end European automotive trims for a truly elegant look. Its sturdy construction makes it ideal for high traffic environments, demanding a high performing material. Luxe Suede has a Martindale Abrasion resistance of 50,000+ rubs exceeding the requirements for Heavy Domestic/Heavy Commercial standards.

Luxe Suede has been UV stabilised to withstand harsh Australian conditions. The fade resistant nature of the range makes it an excellent choice for automotive & indoor marine upholstery where it may be subject to sunlight.

It also has a special treatment to make it resistant to stains, water and oil which in turn lengthens the life of the product in many demanding applications.
