Marine Vinyl | SINA | Faux Leather White

What is marine vinyl?

Marine vinyl is a waterproof upholstery fabric specially designed to withstand extreme conditions. This high-quality faux synthetic leather offers complete waterproofing against saltwater, UV resistance to prevent fading, antibacterial and stain-resistant treatment, over 300,000 abrasion cycles, and M2 fire resistance certification. Our Siena upholstery leatherette is ideal for marine, automotive, and outdoor environments.

What's the difference between marine vinyl and regular faux leather?

Marine vinyl differs from regular faux leather through superior technical characteristics: reinforced waterproof treatment against saltwater, exceptional UV resistance (won't fade), antibacterial treatment for humid environments, extreme durability (+300,000 cycles vs 50,000-100,000), M2 fire resistance certification, and durability against marine conditions. Standard leatherette fabric wouldn't withstand the extreme environments that marine vinyl is engineered to handle.

Where can marine vinyl be used?

Marine vinyl is extremely versatile. You can use it for marine upholstery (yacht seats, boat cushions, nautical interiors), outdoor furniture (patio chairs, pool cushions, deck chairs), automotive interiors (car seats, door panels, steering wheels), commercial spaces (restaurants, hotels, waiting rooms), and professional upholstery (motorcycles, RVs, boats). This upholstery cloth adapts to all your demanding projects.

Is marine vinyl truly waterproof?

Yes! Marine vinyl is 100% waterproof. The structure of the faux synthetic leather doesn't allow water penetration, the surface treatment repels saltwater, moisture resistance is complete, and cleaning with water is easy and safe. Unlike standard faux leather, our waterproof upholstery fabric resists perfectly prolonged exposure to water, even saltwater.

How do you clean marine vinyl?

Marine vinyl is extremely easy to maintain. For daily cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth, use mild soap if necessary, and dry with a clean cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild non-abrasive cleaner, scrub gently with a soft brush, rinse with clean water, and dry completely. Avoid harsh products or bleach. Our upholstery leatherette maintains its new appearance with minimal maintenance.

Does marine vinyl resist sun damage?

Absolutely! Marine vinyl is treated with exceptional UV protection that guarantees complete resistance to fading, colour retention for years, protection against material degradation, and durability even under intense sunlight. Our Siena faux synthetic leather is specially designed for outdoor environments and doesn't lose its properties or appearance, even after years of exposure.

How many abrasion cycles does marine vinyl withstand?

Our Siena marine vinyl offers exceptional resistance of over 300,000 abrasion cycles, ranking it among the most durable upholstery fabrics on the market. For comparison: standard faux leather: 50,000-100,000 cycles, medium-quality leatherette fabric: 100,000-150,000 cycles, Texland marine vinyl: +300,000 cycles. This extreme resistance guarantees superior durability for your marine upholstery or automotive projects.
