Finding the Best Marine Upholstery and Hiring a Professional Marine Upholsterer
IF you are a boat owner and you want to update your boat interiors, then you should have upholstery that will protect your furnishings from the elements. If sleep on your boat, then you would want something that is very comfortable. Below are some tips on the best marine upholstery and how to find the best marine upholstery service.
Choose a professional marine upholsterer who have plenty of experience in upholstering and someone who has good references. There are professionals who are experts in just about any kind of upholstery but this is not what you are looking for. Look for a professional upholsterer whose expertise is working on marine upholstery. You should remember that marine upholstery is not the same as any other kind of upholstery.
In marine upholstery, you should consider your marine threat well. This is the glue of boat upholstery. This type of thread will hold the fabric together. You would want your marine upholstery professional to choose marine thread that is of the highest quality. The strongest marine thread is made with material that can be exposed to sun, chemicals, salt, pollution but will last an extremely long time. Although this type of thread is really very expensive. Most marine fabricators will not want to use this type of thread.
The most common and cost effective thread is polyester. They resist UV rays of the sun, and when this type of thread gets wet, it expands in the needle hole so that the water is kept from seeping through. This is a kind of marine threat that is heat and chemical resistant but long exposure to the sun can weaken it. In order for the marine upholstery professional to know what he has to do you should invite him to your boat. He needs to take measurements and photos so that there will not be too much clutter in your space.
When considering upholstery fabric, you should consider color, texture, and style. But there are many other things that need to be considered.
You can ask the help of your professional marine upholsterer in choosing from among the many patterns, textures, and types of fabric available. But if you want to know what is best, there are several things to consider.
You need to ask yourself if you are subjecting your boat to long periods of sealed inactivity or direct sunlight. Consider if children will be using the boat. Consider if the boat will be stored during winter or if there is an annual haul out. Ask yourself if you simply want to refresh your boat’s old appearance or if you would like to restyle it.
