Most Commonly Used Reupholstery Techniques
There are numerous techniques involved within the standard re-upholstery process. We have provided a breakdown of the most commonly used techniques. As different types of furniture require different techniques we cannot always guarantee which specific techniques or reupholstery process will be used on your furniture.
It is not always easy or clear at first glance what processes or techniques will likely be carried out. Which describes why this kind of extensive inspection is done. However we’re able to guarantee that whatever requires repairing, it will be professionally carried out. Here Team Dks gives you an idea of what exactly goes into reupholstering of your furniture:
The Taking Down & Frame Inspection
‘Taking down’ or ‘Tearing Down’ are most commonly used terms in the industry. Simply put, it is a technique of removing layers of upholstery right down to the main frame. Taking down in this manner allows for each layer to be inspected and upholstery techniques to be carefully noted so re-upholstering can be carried out in the same manner in which it was originally made.
The Webbing / Belts
Webbing or Belts is often used as a foundation of many traditionally upholstered sofas and chairs. Webbing in particular helps the frame to become a strong weight bearing structure. It is one of the most important part of every furniture. Although it was used in the past you will still find it in most modern sofas and chairs.
The Springing
“Springing” much like it sounds it does simply that. Springs are often used to provide extra resilience, depth and comfort for the seats. They take an essential role whenever used in the upholstery of furniture. Springs in certain styles helps define the shape and also the appearance of the furniture.
The Stuffing & Padding
The Stuffing & Padding of upholstered furniture not only shapes the furniture into its own distinctive style but in addition provide excellent comfort and longer life. Modern day techniques are just as good as traditional when achieving a high standard of durability.
The Deep Buttoning
As wonderful and visually stunning as it appears, it requires equally the greatest amount of patience and precision from our craftsman and women in comparison to any other upholstering techniques. Each button process could take approximately 4 – 8 minutes to complete, depending on the complexity of the design and style. The deep buttoning effect can easily define an ordinary piece of furniture into a visual and sensual drama.
The Top Cover & Finishing
With all upholstery techniques completed and upholstery foundations in place, applying the top cover and finishing up is the most crucial yet exciting process for our staffs. The top cover and finishing is the dressing on an amazing hot dish ready to be served and where the furniture really starts to come alive once again. Making this part of the process the most anticipated one.
By the end, we’re not only left with some pretty looking furniture but one that has some high quality & up to date upholstery fabrics in the current market. In addition you’ll also be proud owners of the furniture that has solid and robust foundation right from its framework to its upholstery. Which could easily last you for years and years to come.
