What to know locally in Upington
Upington has a small range of foam and fabric, so many upholsterers order outdoor fabric, vinyl and leather from Cape Town or Gauteng and wait for the courier. Foam can usually be cut to size locally. Dust and heat make upholstery cleaning and leather conditioning regular jobs, and extraction machines can sometimes be hired in town for a weekend.
Upington: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Summer heat in Upington does things to upholstery that coastal towns never see. Foam goes brittle in parked cars, vinyl splits on bakkie seats, and leather couches near a north-facing window fade and crack within a few seasons. Along the Orange River, the grape and raisin farms at Kanoneiland, Louisvale, Keimoes and Kakamas send tractor and bakkie seats, stoep benches and farmhouse dining chairs, and 4x4s and caravans heading for the Kgalagadi need seat covers and cushions that can take dust. Paballelo has home upholsterers, and workshops in town do furniture and motor trimming side by side. Upington is a long drive from any metro, so fabric and foam are often ordered and couriered, and a quote may include waiting time.
Typical upholstery foam requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: seat foam rebuilds for bakkie, kombi and taxi seats, cut and shaped for the trimmer
