Furniture reupholstery in eMalahleni: local notes
Houses in Del Judor, Tasbet Park and Reyno Ridge often hold a solid lounge suite bought when the family first moved for mine work, and recovering it is usually cheaper than chasing a new one of the same size. In KwaGuqa and Lynnville the job is more often a well-used corner couch with flattened seat foam and broken webbing. Pick a tightly woven fabric or a faux leather that wipes clean of coal grime.
eMalahleni: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Coal country wears seats out fast. In eMalahleni the upholstery work that never stops is on wheels: mine bakkies, crew buses and contractor double cabs come off the collieries and power station roads with torn driver seats, split bolsters and covers clogged with fine black dust. Motor trimmers in the Ferrobank and other industrial areas off the N4 do much of this by the fleet, quoted per seat or per vehicle. At home the work is lounge suites and dining chairs in Del Judor, Tasbet Park and Reyno Ridge, plus township home workshops in KwaGuqa and Ackerville that recover couches at the kitchen table. Dust gets into everything here, so a cleanable fabric or a vinyl seat cover saves a second job.
The requests we see from eMalahleni usually come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: a padded bed head in a truck sleeper cab or a camper conversion
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: interior designers and show house stagers ordering headboards to a fabric and size
- Offices and businesses: padded acoustic wall panels for a boardroom or a quiet room, made like a headboard
