3 Reasons Why Fall Is the Best Time to Take Care of Boat Upholstery

3 Reasons Why Fall Is the Best Time to Take Care of Boat UpholsteryDo you have any boat upholstery that needs to be sewn or replaced? Or, perhaps you have canvas that needs to be repaired or renewed? If you’re looking for a professional advice in this department, we say: DO IT NOW. It’s never too early to be ready for the upcoming boating season.

With over 40 years of experience in upholstery business, we know more than anything that it’s never good to put off any upholstery work. Especially, when it comes to marine equipment. In today’s post, we’d like to talk about 3 reasons why fall is the best time to take care of your boat upholstery.

 

3 Reasons Why Fall Is the Best Time to Take Care of Boat Upholstery

 

  1. Fix it before you dock it. It’s a simple and highly effective rule. Taking care of all your boat upholstery repairs before you store the boat for the winter season, will protect you from any unnecessary surprises come spring. In our opinion, it’s never too early to start gearing up for the next boating season.
  2. Off season advantages. If you bring a boat to your favorite upholstery experts in the fall (or early winter), it will not only lighten their workload in the upcoming spring, but will also give some work to people during off season. Plus, you’ll have the boat ready before spring launch! No more missed boating days waiting in line to finish your upholstery.
  3. Price. While there’s no promises in this department, it is very likely that an upholstery shop will give you a better price for your repairs during off season. It’s always smart to call in and ask for any discounts.

 

Needless to say, NOW is the time to get any of your marine upholstery projects underway. Who wouldn’t want to sleep better knowing that their boat is tucked away safe, shiny and new anyway?

 

Final notes

AVOID THE SPRING RUSH at all costs.

How to Select the Right Cover Materials for Medical Furniture Upholstery

by

Clean and most importantly, sterile medical furniture is a significant part of running a successful facility. Controlling contaminants in upholstery should be considered one of the top priorities for medical management, because it’s crucial to the health of the patients and employees. Not to mention, it prolong the furnishing’s life.

However, right cleaning upholstery techniques are only one step in making sure you’re getting the most out for your furniture. What should be considered way before cleaning upholstery is how to select the right cover materials in the first place.

How to Select the Right Cover Materials

The quality of upholstery and its maintenance lies within the right textiles. In general, synthetic fibers are said to be more resilient and less likely to sustain damage than natural fibers. If you’re selecting upholstery fabrics for medical facilities, you should consider fibers that are:

  1. Nonpolluting. Olefin – chemically inert and resistant to fungi.
  2. Easy to be cleaned. Polyester – typically great spotting and cleaning results.
  3. Durable and Heat Resistant. Nylon – it resists most diluted solutions of bleaches
  4. Strong and Abrasion-resistant. Polyester – considered dimensionally stable.
  5. Water and oil resistant. Acrylic – it resists both water and oil.

Another factor that should be taken into consideration is colorfastness, meaning how the fiber resists to lose its color during cleaning or exposure to ultraviolet light. Acrylic is one of those materials that are extremely color fast.

Lastly, what about the color selection? For medical furniture, it is recommended that the chosen materials are not too light or too dark, so the soiling doesn’t become apparent too quickly.

Ideally, you should aim to work with materials that offer it all. That is why Olefin, Polyester, Nylon and Acrylic are some of the most used synthetics in medical furnishing.
