Why Reupholster?

 

There are various reasons why Reupholstering is common, such as:

  • Reupholstering can cost less than buying new
  • You can create and design a custom piece that matches your existing decoration
  • Sentimental value of a piece of furniture such as family inheritance
  • Increase the value of an antique piece
  • Restoration or update of existing upholstery

 

What is the difference between Reupholster & Recover?

 

          To reupholster a piece of furniture is to completely strip the piece down to the frame and rebuild it, webbing, springing, and right up to its top cover. To recover is to simply change the top fabric or material. There are times when a job can combine both recovering and reupholstering, depending on the condition or makeup of the piece. A good upholstery job should not only look good, it must also be functional and should give you many years of service.

 

What is the difference between traditional & modern upholstery?

 

          Traditional upholstery means to reupholster it in its original style and materials. This term is used where the upholstery is formed with hair or hair substitute (fiber), either by hand sewing it into shaped pads or forming shallow hair pads. The term is often used when referring to antique or older types of seating. Often these fibers are applied in rubberized sheeting, which is also considered traditional upholstery.

          Modern upholstery is made with foam or other more recent developed materials. Applied correctly, modern methods can produce good quality upholstery that gives years of excellent service and use. In addition, much of today's modern upholstery is engineered with large stitched on piece covers capped on to padded frames; however, don't think that this is a skill that can be mastered by anyone. A great deal of skill is required to undertake such detailed work.
