Product Story
Layer, super soft silicone
High performance
A unique composition
Formulated from sand, silicone is free from added plasticisers which can be harmful to human health. Silica, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen make up the chemical components of silicone and silica is one of the most abundant minerals in the earth’s crust. Layer has many advantages over polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fabrics and is considered to be an eco-friendlier alternative to plastics.
Due to its silicone composition, Layer achieves several performance characteristics inherently, without the use of any added chemicals. Delivering commercial level performance, with beautiful aesthetics, Layer is certified for heavy duty use, achieves a wide range of flammability standards and is UV, heat, and water resistant.
Tones for every interior
Available in 18 colourways, Layer’s colour palette comprises earthy neutrals, mineral greys, charcoal darks, cool blues and warm russet and gold tones. Soft and supple, Layer’s colour palette and texture works in harmony with many of our woven products including Sumi, Synergy, Yoredale and Mainline Flax.
