Skai® Faux Leather
Seat it, wipe it, skai it.
Skai faux leather for hotels, clinics and homes
Picture a boutique hotel refitting its bar: the seating has to meet fire regulations, shrug off spilled cocktails and still look like proper leather under low lighting. That's the brief skai faux leather was made for. Made by the German specialist Hornschuch, skai covers everything from contract upholstery vinyl for hotels and surgeries to soft, nappa-like finishes for living rooms. Our range includes skai Toronto, Tovega, Toledo, Parotega NF, Sotega, Sotega FLS and Evida Fiber, each with its own grain, feel and performance. Compare the options, choose your colour and order skai vinyl by the metre for your next project.

Skai faux leather: find the right quality for the job
Real-world projects
A hotel bar re-covered in Sotega FLS, a GP waiting room in Toledo, a café banquette in Parotega NF in teal. Each skai quality has its own strengths, so match the material to how hard the seating will work.
Fire safety for UK contract work
Skai Parotega NF and Sotega FLS are listed by the manufacturer for BS 5852 ignition source 5, often requested for UK contract seating. That makes them a dependable fire retardant faux leather for hotels and public buildings. Always confirm the required standard with your specifier.
Stain resistance with staynu
Skai Toronto and Tovega carry the staynu finish, which keeps marks from settling into the surface. The manufacturer even allows alcohol-based cleaners such as isopropanol on stubborn spots. It's a stain resistant faux leather that suits busy clinics and gyms.
Grains, finishes and a bio-based option
Choose micro-pore Tovega, cowhide-grain Toledo, nappa-soft Sotega or classic-grain Toronto and Parotega NF. Evida Fiber is the bio-based faux leather of the range, with a natural fibre look. All are vinyl-coated for easy everyday cleaning.
Styling ideas: pairing skai with colour, wood and trims
Skai's colour ranges give you plenty to play with. Toledo in cognac pairs beautifully with oak or walnut frames for a warm, club-style feel. For a calmer look, try Tovega in sage or ice blue against white walls and pale timber. Sotega FLS in petrol or carmine adds drama to bar stools and booth seating. Two-tone designs work well on banquettes: a dark seat that hides wear, with a lighter back panel. Contrast piping in a second skai colour sharpens the outline of cushions and chair edges. Decorative nail heads suit the leather-like grain of Toronto and Parotega NF on headboards or footstools. Ordering every piece in one go keeps the colour batch consistent across a whole room.
