Same seats, new fabric

Stains set in. The frames did not wear out.

Fabric seating is usually retired for its cover, not its structure. Recovering it keeps the frame and the budget.

Five signs the cover is finished

Cleaning cannot lift a set-in stain or close worn-through weave. In commercial fabric upholstery NYC work, these go to new fabric.

Choosing the new fabric

Why we specify solution-dyed fabric

Solution-dyed yarn is colored before it is spun, so the color runs all the way through. Piece-dyed fabric is colored on the surface and shows wear first. Contract makers such as Luum Textiles grade both for commercial use.

Same abrasion, different result. See performance fabric.

How a room is recovered

Cut ahead, fitted fast

For commercial fabric upholstery NYC projects, covers are cut and sewn before we arrive, so the seats are out of use for as little time as possible. See our project process.

Can stained fabric be cleaned instead?
Fresh surface stains often can. Once a stain has soaked into the fibers and the foam, or the weave is worn through, recovering is the lasting fix in commercial fabric upholstery NYC projects.
What fabric do you recommend for commercial seating?
A solution-dyed performance fabric rated for contract use, with a cleaning code that matches how you clean.
Can we choose a new color or pattern?
Yes. Recovering is the moment to change it. We run pattern and nap the same direction on every seat so the room reads as one.
Do you replace the foam?
Where it has collapsed, yes, in the same visit. New fabric over flat foam wears out early. See foam replacement.
Can auditorium and theater seats be done in place?
Yes. Covers are cut ahead and fitted row by row where the seats stand, often around your event calendar.
How do you keep a whole room matching?
Every seat is cut from one fabric lot, and new fabric is checked against pieces that stay. See material matching.
Is there a minimum project size?
Commercial fabric upholstery NYC projects start at five units. Single pieces go through our residential service.
