Metalica
Metalica is a greener alternative to vinyl (PVC) and leather both in production and aftercare. Metalica has a solid 100% high density polyurethane surface that outperforms all other synthetics. Unlike other traditional P.U's that do not stretch, Metalica has been developed with a unique four way stretch backing. The manufacturing process is like no other synthetic on the market. The ultimate textile choice with outstanding performance in high traffic areas.
