How to Prepare Your Boat for the End of Season

July 31, 2018 by Paulina

How to Prepare Your Boat for the End of Season

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. 

  

Ready to get your boat prepared for storage? Call us now! Our staff has over 70 years of combined knowledge and experience in marine cleaning and repairs. In fact, there probably isn’t a job we have not done! 

Rayco Upholstery has been a family owned and operated business for over 40 years.  We are A+ rated with the BBB and are a member of the New Castle County Chamber of Commerce.

Everything You Need to Know About Transit Upholstery

May 31, 2018 by Paulina

Everything You Need to Know About Transit Upholstery

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. 

 

There you have it! For more tips and interesting facts about different kinds of upholstery and the industry, visit our NEWS section!

Fleet Vehicle Maintenance Repair

Fleet Vehicle Maintenance Repair Rayco Upholstery
Let’s talk about fleet vehicle maintenance repair. While construction vehicles are built to be durable, that’s not always the case with the interior. Depending on the usage and care, sooner or later the seat of a pickup will start tearing at the seams… 

Most of the time, you’ll notice first traces of damage in the front corner of the seat where the section of foam or fabric needs replacement. If that’s the case, contact your trusted upholstery company right away so they can replace only the bad foam or torn fabric. Trust us, regular maintenance will save you a ton of money!

Repairing A Broken Back Seat 

One of the very common repairs we deal with are broken back seats. The damages are usually caused when a driver leans into the seat back while exiting the truck. The torque created by driver’s shoulder can crack the seat frame and bust a support brace. To repair the damage, the cracked frame needs to be welded and the horizontal support bar reattached. Fabricating a steel cross brace stiffens the frame even more. To prevent future damage, it’s good to wrap sections of the chair back in burlap cloth and thick jute padding. 

Hidden Truck Seat Repairs 

Sometimes it’s hard to spot a truck seat damage. For example, there might be issues with the seat that you won’t be able to see until you strip off the old fabric. The smartest thing to do is always to fix the seat before installing the seat cover. 

Repairing Truck Bench Seat 

When a truck seat starts to disintegrate, it’s tempting to put off repairs. However, if you wait too long with repairing a torn vinyl, you might bust a seat frame, shred foam and ruin covers on top of it. If the frame is badly damaged, upholsterers will have to rebuild it. If the vinyl seat is trashed, it will need to be reconstructed as well.  

Fleet Vehicle Maintenance Repair in Delaware 

Remember, when the upholstery tears, it’s only a matter of time before the foam padding gets ripped to shreds. Looking for a trustworthy upholstery company to help you with a fleet vehicle maintenance repair? Rayco Upholstery does work from the single workman’s truck to a big company’s fleet vehicles.
