Supplies & care in Secunda: local notes
Foam suppliers in Secunda cut seat cushions to size, and fabric is available locally in the more practical colours, with wider ranges ordered from Johannesburg. Landlords and B&B owners buy cushion covers made to size so they can wash them between guests. Upholstery cleaning between tenants is common, and some rental counters hire extraction machines by the day if you prefer to clean the couches yourself.
Secunda: the homes, the climate and the workshops
When the petrochemical plant at Secunda goes into a maintenance shutdown, thousands of contractors arrive, rent rooms and furnished houses across Secunda, Trichardt and Embalenhle, and drive in and out on shift. That cycle drives a very local kind of upholstery: landlords recovering worn couches and headboards between tenants, quick foam swaps on rental lounge suites, and trimmers fitting seat covers to the bakkies and crew vehicles that do the plant run along the N17. Between shutdowns, family homes in Secunda's older suburbs and in Evander and Kinross bring the usual couches and dining chairs. Workshops are in the light industrial areas and in home garages, and most will collect. Dust and grit from the plant roads wear fabric fast.
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
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: upholsterers and designers buying full rolls, cuttings and sample books at trade rates
- Offices and businesses: hard-wearing contract fabric for reception couches, boardroom chairs and waiting room benches
