I have never heard of such a material. Is it just glued on the substrate with adhesive? Any help would be appreciated. David G.

What is the substrate? It this on the horizontal surface of the bar - if so, what about moisture? What about cold and/or heat? What about the joints? The manufacturer has to have some guidelines.

Because the leather is a finish, flame spread may be an issue depending on occupancy classification, is the building sprinklered, leather orientation (ie horizontal or vertical), etc. Also, it’s likely the substrate/backing will need to be non-combustible.
