The Benefits of Ultraleather for Airstream Travel Trailers


Forget everything you think you know about leather alternatives. Like the old adage that that they're "stiff, sticky, stinky and hot." In fact, forget all the cons of yesterday's vinyl-based products. Ultraleather
™ represents a new era in leather-alternative luxury, delivering the supple softness, pliant drape, realistic graining and all temperature comfort vinyl-based products can't match.

In test to determine heat retention using vinyl, leather and Ultraleather™ for seating applications it was determined that Ultraleather™ was 20% cooler than vinyl and 13% cooler than leather.

Airstream products now offer furniture with Ultra Leather. Ultra Leather synthetic leather fabric material has the luxurious look and feel of the finest European calfskin, with durability and resistance to soils and stains on vinyl fabrics. This soft fabric is a great alternative to genuine leather as it is also tougher than real calfskin and has superior resistance to punctures, snags and rips. Designed for permanence.

  • Ultra Leather stands apart from genuine leather when it comes to care and durability.
  • Ultra Leather allows you to have the same high quality, beautiful furniture in your RV as you do at home without the worry of spills and stains during travel.
  • Ultra Leather virtually duplicates the surface of genuine leather while maintaining a subtle grain pattern over time.
  • Ultra Leather surfaces are made with a polyurethane molecular structure that acts as a foam barrier providing additional cushioning to your upholstered seating. Although the fabric offers extra cushion and softness, it exceeds the industry standards in wear and tear. In fact, test results show that.
  • Ultra Leather exceeds heavy duty industry abrasion standards by more than 13 times
  • Ultra Leather cools 50 percent faster than genuine leather and 20 percent faster than vinyl. In addition, in extremely cold temperatures, the fabric won’t stiffen or crack either like genuine leather or vinyl.
  • For Airstream and its customers, Ultra leather™ delivers long lasting, low maintenance elegance for seating applications. Its rugged performance makes it the perfect characteristics waterproof, stain-resistant fabric for wall as well as upholstery coverings and cushions.

Being environmentally friendly is another great benefit of Ultra Leather. The fabric doesn’t contain any plasticizers, heavy metals or stabilizers making it 100 percent VOC free. Close to 99 percent of the chemicals used to create. Ultra Leather is also recycled by the manufacturer, Ultrafabrics, making it even more environmentally sound.
