What to know locally in Durban
Fabric shops around the CBD and Warwick area sell upholstery fabric off the roll, and foam cutters in the south basin industrial areas cut seat foam while you wait. In this climate choose outdoor fabric for stoeps and pool loungers, quick-dry foam for anything that gets wet, and stainless staples near the sea. Upholstery cleaners are busy after the rainy season with mould and odour work; dry the piece fully before you cover it again.
Durban: the homes, the climate and the workshops
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.
