What to know locally in Rustenburg
Upholsterers and DIYers buy fabric, foam and supplies in Rustenburg's industrial areas, and foam can be cut to size while you wait for most cushion jobs. Wider leather and velvet ranges come from Pretoria. Because red dust gets into every seat, upholstery cleaning is in demand in the estates and mine housing, and carpet and upholstery machines can be hired for the weekend from rental shops in town.
Rustenburg: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Platinum mining runs Rustenburg, and you can see it in the upholstery work. Mine fleets bring in personnel carriers, service bakkies and shuttle buses with seats worn through by overalls and dust, and the trimmers along the industrial roads off the N4 quote them in sets. Mine housing and the newer estates around Waterfall East, Cashan and Geelhoutpark keep upholsterers busy with lounge suites that came with the move, and Boitekong, Tlhabane and Phokeng have home workshops that recover couches and make cushion covers. Lodges towards the Pilanesberg and the Magaliesberg send patio and dining seating. Hot, dry summers and red dust are hard on fabric, so ask for a darker, tightly woven cover on anything used daily.
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
- Homeowners and tenants: new seat foam for a sagging couch, dining chair pads and scatter cushion inners
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: long-lasting seat foam for restaurant booths, bar stools and guesthouse lounge suites
