Upholstery work in Benoni
Benoni is known as the city of lakes, and the water shapes some of its upholstery work: ski boats and fishing boats kept in garages in Lakefield and Farrarmere need seats and cushions redone in marine vinyl, and patio and stoep cushions face the sun beside the water. Away from the lakes, Northmead and Rynfield have older family homes with solid lounge suites, the Putfontein smallholdings bring horse and farm bakkies, and Daveyton and Etwatwa have home workshops recovering couches. Upholsterers and foam suppliers work from Benoni's industrial areas around Apex and Benoni South. Damp boat cushions grow mould, so ask for open-cell quick-dry foam and drain holes when you request a quote.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: leather hides for a Chesterfield or recliner, or faux leather for dining chair seats
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: upholsterers and motor trimmers buying hides, vinyl rolls and matched batches
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: UV and mould resistant marine vinyl for ski boats, yachts and caravan seating
