What is leather upholstery fault diagnosis?
If you have an issue with an upholstery product, Eurofins | BLC are here to help. Our upholstery fault diagnosis services will pinpoint the root cause of the product failure.
Faults with leather sofas are the most common leather related consumer complaint. The most common of these faults is finish failure. This is where the polyurethane pigment layer fails and begins to peel or flake off.
In our experience this is typically caused by a defect in the leather finishing process, usually caused by a poor bond between the finish and the leather or an inter coat failure.
A well finished, pigmented leather sofa should last over 10 years, but to be able to ensure this longevity the leather needs to be correctly specified by the retailer and quality checked.
How long does fault diagnosis of leather upholstery products take?
As this work is investigative, the length of time taken to solve the problem does depend on the type of problem.
