November 19, 2019 by admin

Tough jobs require tough exteriors. Whether you work at a refinery or a chemical plant, you know such equipment calls for the right protective textiles.

Since industrial fabrics demand an expert touch, special sewing services and tools, it’s important to hire upholstery experts who are seasoned in working with such heavy duty and heavyweight insulation jackets.

Protection, durability, longevity and how the utility jackets perform in all weather conditions and on all equipment are all things to consider when investing in new industrial insulation textiles. Another thing to keep in mind is how easy it is to clean the heavyweight fabrics. However, don’t let this information overwhelm you. Any good upholstery company will be able to guide you and recommend the best materials for your job’s equipment.

3 Reasons to Invest in Professional Medical Upholstery

October 29, 2019 by admin

As medical employees, you probably already know the importance of investing in professional medical upholstery. Whether you work at a hospital or a dentist office, you’re most likely dealing with many patients every single day. This is one of the main reasons why it’s crucial that the furniture people sit on all the time can endure heavy usage.

Another reason why your business should invest in medical upholstery is the cleaning routine. Furniture at hospitals and other medical facilities endure a lot of usage on daily basis, which can cause the upholstery to fade or become discolored if not maintained properly. Having a proper cleaning routine established will ensure your furniture will look, feel, and retain its quality much longer. Not to mention, it will keep up with all of the sanitary standards!

Let’s not forget about comfort. As soon as your patients walk into the room, you should make them feel comfortable and safe. If the furniture at your facility is outdated or does not mirror the highest standards, it might be time to hire professionals to update the medical upholstery for you.

That being said, Rayco Upholstery works with health care facilities by providing superior upholstery repair service and refurbishing existing medical equipment fabrics. Many services include upholstering exam tables, waiting room chairs, physical therapy pads and much more. Since 1949, Rayco Upholstery has been the expert in the medical upholstery repair and replacement field. In fact, there probably isn’t a job we have not done!

How to Prepare Your Boat for the End of Season

July 31, 2018 by Paulina

The end of boating season is near! As much as we love summer and don’t want to store the boat away just yet, now is the time to start thinking about it. Do you know what’s the best way to prepare your boat for end of season and ultimately winter storage? Here’s a few things to consider.

Fix it before you dock it.

Taking care of all your boat upholstery repairs before you store the boat for the rest of the year will protect you from any unwanted surprises in the next boating season.

When inspecting your boat, pay close attention to your canvas, cushions and carpets. If needed, get them repaired in the fall. Many marine repair and upholstery shops offer steep discounts in the fall or during the off-season, so take advantage of that.

Other things to consider doing before you dock away your boat is draining all liquids from the boat, adding a fuel stabilizer and changing out the engine oil. Read more about this part of boat maintenance in this article.

Storage

Once your boat is ready for the end of season, it’s time to choose a safe storage. Whether it’s a dry boat storage (out of the water) or a marina boat storage (in the water), the best way to protect your investment is storing your boat under cover and in a secure site.

Everything You Need to Know About Transit Upholstery

May 31, 2018 by Paulina

Working with transit upholstery requires a lot of skill and knowledge, not to mention great materials. After all, durability and abrasion resistance due to high everyday usage is so crucial in this department.

If you want to learn more about what working with transit upholstery entails, keep reading!

Transit Seating Materials

When it comes to transit upholstery, it all starts with the right fabric. Since people will get in and out of the mass transit vehicle repeatedly, the materials you use need to be able take thousands of rubs a day. Apart from durability and abrasion resistance, the fabrics you choose for transit should also be easy to clean, stain/ soil/ flame resistant, plus moisture repellent with colorfastness and antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. It’s also worth mentioning that any materials being exposed to UV light for hours on end will also suffer if they’re not resistant enough.

What material would we recommend? In our opinion, vinyl meets all of the above requirements being so durable, comfortable and easy to maintain.

Design

Let’s be honest here. The good looks often get neglected in commercial transit upholstery because what matters most is uniformity. Another contributing factor is budget. However, there are companies who like to invest in the look they want, and they care more about specific colors, materials and logo placement.

Fun fact: Do you know why some transit materials feature a lot of busy patterns? Because it’s easier to hide stains that way!

Transit Upholstery

Doing upholstering for mass transit vehicles requires a lot of knowledge about the industry standards, let alone a professional skill set. According to this article, “you need to be able to balance aesthetics, both in color and design, with durability and robustness that are beyond normal furniture or upholstery norms.” Another important thing to take into consideration is the expected life span of mass transit seating. The seats you’re upholstering should be able to last up to 12 years, although realistically the fabrics are usually being replaced within 5 to 10 years.
