September 29, 2008—Torlys has a new flooring made of 100 percent recycled post-industrial leather. The company said that while leather floors have been produced before, they have been available only in glue-down formats for limited and customized applications, usually at a very high price. The floors are also made with a cork backing.
The post-industrial leather is recycled from the manufacture of jackets, upholstery, belts, shoes and handbags. The leather surface wear layer is 2.7mm thick.
Torlys sells hardwood, cork, laminate and linoleum flooring. For more on the company, visit the Torlys Web site.
