Adding Value with Vinyl

Though once thought to be cheap and unattractive, vinyl has evolved to become a very valuable material for both commercial and residential design projects. The cheap plastic-y material of the past has been modified and improved and is now a soft, supple, durable material that can enhance any dining room, whether it is in a restaurant or your own home.

First of all, vinyl is durable. It can withstand wear and tear that other materials such as leather and fabric cannot. Leather is easily scratched and stained while fabric can tear easily and be hard to clean. Vinyl is specifically manufactured with rough conditions in mind. It does not tear or rip easily and does not show scratches. It is easy to clean (just a quick wipe down with a wet cloth) and is stain resistant. It is ideal for high traffic environments, such as restaurants or bars, but can also be used for an easy care alternative in residential dining rooms.

Vinyl is also extremely versatile. There is a virtually limitless selection of colors and designs for you to choose from. Generally vinyl is manufactured in solid colors, but there are variations on texture and sheen. Vinyls may be combined in one piece of furniture to create a custom look. For example, you may combine a matte black vinyl with a metallic gold glossy vinyl in a booth seat. To view the wide selection of vinyls that are available, visit Hazelwoods.
