Company culture at Klassik

When it comes to PVC leather/ Vinyl for marine products, key features like durability and performance are non-negotiable for us. Since marine products are mostly meant for the outdoors, there are a lot of relevant finishes and product specifications that need to be met.

‍

Whether it's pool loungers or seats on various water transportation, the materials used need to withstand the harshest elements without compromising on the quality and durability of the PVC leather being used. We understand the demands of customers and manufacture marine PVC leather/Vinyl which is suitable for outdoor and water-based applications. Our marine range offers unmatched resilience, ensuring that the furniture looks good and lasts long, even in the most challenging environments.

‍

Marine PVC leather is created to survive the elements. Whether your furniture is exposed to the sun or enduring life at sea, our products are built to last. Ordinary PVC leather has the risk of fading and damage when exposed to intense UV rays, moisture, and dust. We are focused on ending these concerns.

‍

One of the standout features of our marine products is the UV resistance. Sunlight can cause colours to fade and materials to get damaged over time. Depending on the customers’ specific needs, we offer UV resistance ranging from 100 hours to 1000 hours of direct sunlight exposure. Even with constant and direct exposure to the sun, our leather will retain its colour and structural integrity for extended periods.

‍

Goes without saying that marine environments are susceptible to moisture, which can be a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and mildew. Regular PVC leather can get affected by moisture, leading to unpleasant smells, and stains, and causing health hazards. To avoid such mishappenings, our marine PVC leather comes with specialized anti-bacterial and mildew-resistant finishes. Our PVC leather is made to protect against the growth of bacteria and fungi, even when the material is constantly exposed to moisture. This adds to the durability of the PVC leather.

‍

In addition to its durability and resistance to environmental factors like sun rays and moisture, our marine PVC leather also meets high standards of safety. An additional feature that truly sets our marine range apart is its flame resistance. Safety is paramount in any situation, and our products are designed to meet the Flame Resistance (FR) specifications set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Our marine PVC leather not only resists ignition but also helps prevent the spread of flames in the event of a fire.

‍

At Klassik, it’s not simply about manufacturing PVC leather products but about giving tailored solutions to meet the specific demands of marine and outdoor environments. Our marine PVC leather range is created with research and innovation, which results in products that offer a special combination of durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal.

Footwear has always been a fundamental part of the dynamic world of fashion. With an array of styles and materials available, consumers expect not only trendy designs but also high-quality products that prioritise comfort, safety, and durability, which is why our clients at Klassik request the same. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) recently stepped in to ensure that footwear manufacturing adheres to certain strict quality standards. We live in an ever-changing world and are always expected to adjust to the ‘new normal’. That being said, as a company, Klassik always ensures that adjusting to novelty is a seamless process for us as well as our clients.

The BIS, or Bureau of Indian Standards, is a national body in India responsible for setting standards for various products, including footwear. These mandatory quality standards are created to ensure that small-scale, medium-scale and large-scale footwear manufacturers produce safe, reliable, and high-quality products. These various norms for footwear manufacturing encompass a wide range of aspects, including material specifications, testing procedures, and labelling requirements.

‍

“The standards prescribe what kind of raw material like leather, PVC, and rubber to be used in manufacturing footwear besides norms on making soles and heels, among other parts of the footwear.” says an article in The Economic Times.

‍

This step is essentially being taken so that India can maintain the same quality standards that you see globally. As a country, we are growing and evolving and want to maintain the same standards as our peers.

‍

As per the norms BIS all PVC products are now meant to be phthalate-free. Phthalates are a group of synthetic chemicals that are used to manufacture a wide range of products and are now banned from the PVC industry. They have many harmful side effects and we as a company stand against using chemicals that don’t benefit our clients in any way whatsoever.

‍

Another part of the BIS norm states that the tearing strength of PVC products used as uppers should be more than 3kg to ensure durability, which essentially means that a force of 3kg or greater needs to be applied to tear the PVC textile through and through. For this reason, all products manufactured by us follow this norm very specifically and are termed as high-tear.

‍

The change in norms made by the BIS did create a buzz in the manufacturing industry however, for us at Klassik, we were more than accommodating to this development. Klassik possesses all the required equipment and machinery to adhere to these standard norms. The PVR leather we manufacture for footwear already meets the requirements of these norms due to the state-of-the-art infrastructure we have invested in.

‍

As a company, we believe in investing in the future, and that mindset has stood advantageous to us today as we can seamlessly adjust to the changing and upgrading norms of the industry and supply only the best material to our clientele in India and abroad. This is also the reason why the new BIS norms do not pose a threat to our production process, or change in prices. Thus maintaining the same high-quality standards without anything affecting our relationship with our clients and factory workers.

Are you someone who is obsessed with home decor or are you a furniture designer looking for the best option for upholstery for interior decoration? Then you need to read this. When it comes to choosing material for upholstery, whether you’re looking at home renovation ideas or decorating your workspace or business, there are three main options - genuine leather, artificial leather or faux leather and fabric. The choice you make can depend on many factors like price, design preference, aesthetics, quality, durability and maintenance, to name a few.

‍

Now it might be hard to find something that will check off all the above points, but what if we told you it’s not? Artificial leather or faux leather or PVC leather cloth has it all! What we manufacture here at Klassik is more reasonable than genuine leather, it comes in many design and texture options that are versatile and will satisfy your aesthetic needs, they are high in quality and extremely durable and very easy to maintain. When you get it all, the decision to choose artificial leather becomes that much easier.

Artificial leather in general is less expensive than genuine leather but has the same rich look and feel that you would find in genuine leather. An important point to note is that artificial leather is durable and easy to maintain without the added cost of genuine leather. Another differentiator and characteristic of artificial leather is that it doesn’t wrinkle like genuine leather because it’s not made of animal skin. It’s machine-made and has a smooth touch and feel as compared to genuine leather.

‍

While fabric is the least expensive option out of all the three, it doesn’t last long and is not very easy to maintain. Fabrics can be easily stained and damaged, making them the wrong choice in the long run. Artificial leather is what we can call an affordable luxury product. One can argue that artificial leather or faux leather is also one of the more sustainable options as no animals are harmed during its production. People who follow a vegan lifestyle, and are environmentally conscious also prefer to choose artificial leather over genuine leather.

‍

The faux leather or artificial leather industry has seen major improvements and advances in terms of production, making it a preferred choice for many looking at home decor ideas and interior designing ideas. Artificial leather is no longer referred to as something that is “fake”. It’s a widely used option in today’s day and age.

‍

So when it’s about home furnishing and giving a modern look to your home, then artificial leather is the way to go. It’s the best way to invest in your home decor for years to come. From sofas and chairs to cushions and more - revamp your home interiors with the best that the market has to offer.
