if your project needs to last for years, handle a real mess, and stay safe, silicone leather is your best bet.
Silicone leather is basically the only synthetic material out there that feels like real leather while standing up to crazy weather without using a single drop of toxic chemicals.
In the world of high-performance materials, cheap usually ends up being very expensive in the long run.
Picking the right material really comes down to the questions you ask. Don't just focus on "how much per yard." Instead, ask "how’s this going to look after five years in the sun?" or "can we use bleach to clean it?"

The era of "disposable" materials is ending. If you are tired of dealing with peeling, cracking, and chemical odors, it is time to look at what silicone can do.
If you are seeing your upholstery flake, crack, or peel, the answer is simple: you are likely using PU (polyurethane) leather, and it’s losing the battle against humidity. This process is called hydrolysis. The best way to stop this cycle is to switch to silicone leather.
