Durban notes on vehicles, boats & commercial
Taxi seats, bakkie benches and minibus interiors keep motor trimmers in Mobeni, Jacobs and Sydney Road busy, and roof linings sag fast in the coastal heat. Ski boats launched from the beaches and yachts in the small craft harbour need marine vinyl and open-cell foam. Restaurant booths along Florida Road and in Umhlanga, hotel lounge chairs on the beachfront and church pews in Umlazi and Inanda are often done on site or after hours.
Upholstery work in Durban
Humidity is the upholsterer's real competition in Durban. Damp air works into foam, rusts staples and springs from the inside and leaves grey mould spots on couches in closed-up flats, so a lot of upholstery in Durban starts as a repair rather than a style change. Lounge suites in Chatsworth and Phoenix, old dining chairs on the Berea and holiday flat furniture along the beachfront all come in for new foam and covers. Most upholsterers in Durban work from Jacobs, Mobeni, Springfield and Briardene, or from home workshops in Umlazi and KwaMashu, and collect by bakkie. Ask for marine grade staples, mould resistant fabric and foam that breathes.
Typical commercial upholstery requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a home-based salon or a small family takeaway with a few seats to redo
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: restaurants, bars, hotels and guesthouses with booths, stools and lounge chairs worn by daily use
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: dealership waiting lounges and service centre seating that sees heavy daily use
