Supplies & care in Northern Cape: local notes
Most specialist fabric and marine vinyl is ordered in from Gauteng or Cape Town, while foam may be cut in Kimberley or Upington. DIYers buy webbing, staples and hessian in bulk to save a long drive later. Because dust settles into weaves, upholstery cleaning is a regular job, and some people rent an extraction machine for a weekend; vacuum the couch well first, and check the cleaning code before using water.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Northern Cape
Dust and dry heat are the first things to plan for when you want upholstery done in the Northern Cape. Fine red dust works into woven fabric, sun bleaches anything near a window and leather couches dry out and crack without conditioning. Kimberley holds Victorian houses in suburbs like Belgravia with old armchairs and dining sets worth restoring, while the iron ore and manganese towns of Kathu and Postmasburg send fleet bakkies and mine office chairs to motor trimmers. Upington serves grape farms along the Orange River, and Springbok and De Aar are long drives from the nearest big workshop. Fabric and foam often travel from Gauteng or Cape Town, so ask about courier time before you book a date.
Typical upholstery fabric requests in the area come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: automotive cloth and faux suede for seat inserts, door cards and kombi bench seats
- Homeowners and tenants: a family couch, dining chair seats or a headboard in a colour that suits the lounge
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: upholsterers and designers buying full rolls, cuttings and sample books at trade rates
