Our team at IPS Perforating, Inc. specializes in perforating all types of materials for our clients. Perforating a material changes its properties in several desirable ways. For example, perforating wood significantly alters the way sound interacts with it, and perforating leather makes it more breathable. In this article, we will focus on our perforated automotive seats and how they improve driver and passenger comfort.
If you work in the automotive industry, we strongly encourage you to use perforated leather in your seats for the following reasons:
- Breathability – A key advantage of using perforated automotive seats is that they allow for better airflow around those in the vehicle. The tiny holes in the leather make it easier for people to stay cool, as the air can seamlessly move around their back and legs while seated. This can create a moisture-wicking effect, immediately enhancing comfort on hot summer days.
- Texture – Perforated automotive seats also provide a unique and pleasing tactile experience for the driver and passengers. The smoothness of the leather contrasts with the texture of the holes to create a pleasant overall feel against the skin.
- Adaptability – Lastly, perforated leather seats can be customized to create the ideal experience for the driver and passengers. For example, you can place more, or bigger, perforations in areas where you want to maximize airflow for increased comfort. You can also get creative with the perforation design to create unique visuals in your car’s interior.
