Supplies & care in North West: local notes
Potchefstroom students and landlords buy faux suede or tough woven fabric for a quick couch recover, and DIYers pick up foam offcuts, staples and webbing to redo seat pads. Boat owners at the dam ask foam suppliers for open-cell outdoor foam that drains. On farms where dust gets into every couch, many people rent an extraction machine for a weekend, but check the cleaning code first, because S and X fabrics must not get wet.
North West: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Weekend boats on Hartbeespoort Dam, platinum mine fleets around Rustenburg and maize farms out towards Lichtenburg give upholsterers in North West a mixed workload. Ski boat and pontoon seats crack in the sun and need marine vinyl, while mine contractors and farmers bring in bakkies with split seats and ask for canvas covers. In Potchefstroom, student digs and landlords recover worn couches between academic years, and Mahikeng has government offices and churches with chairs to redo in bulk. Workshops sit in the industrial areas of Rustenburg, Klerksdorp, Potchefstroom and Brits, with home workshops in the townships, and specialist foam and fabric often comes from Gauteng. Hot, dry summers fade fabric and harden leather left near a window.
Typical upholstery foam requests in the area come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: seat foam rebuilds for bakkie, kombi and taxi seats, cut and shaped for the trimmer
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: quick-dry open-cell foam for boat benches, caravan beds and game drive vehicle seats
- Churches, schools and halls: pew cushion foam by the metre for churches, school halls and auditorium seats
