What to know locally in Richards Bay
For boat and pool cushions, ask a foam supplier in Alton or Empangeni for open-cell outdoor foam and UV-stable fabric, since normal foam holds water and rots in this climate. Marine vinyl, polyester thread and stainless staples are worth the extra cost. Upholstery cleaners deal with a lot of mould and odour, and machine hire is popular for cleaning car seats after a fishing trip. Store outdoor cushions out of the sun when they are not in use.
Upholstery work in Richards Bay
Boats and bakkies drive a lot of the upholstery work in Richards Bay. Ski boats and fishing boats go out from the small craft harbour, and their seats and cushions take sun, salt and fish slime every weekend, so marine vinyl and drainable foam are in steady demand. The port, the smelters and the mining operations run fleets of double cab bakkies and buses whose seats wear through fast. Homes in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood send lounge suites and patio cushions, and families in Esikhaleni and eNseleni recover couches and headboards. Most trimmers and upholsterers sit in Alton and Empangeni. Hot, humid air and salt mean mould and rust are common.
The requests we see from Richards Bay usually come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: car upholstery cleaning for family cars, bakkies, taxis and dealer stock
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: landlords, estate agents and furniture dealers cleaning pieces before letting or resale
- Offices and businesses: boardroom chairs, reception couches and call centre seating cleaned after hours
