Western Cape notes on supplies & care
Fabric houses around Woodstock and Salt River and foam suppliers in the northern industrial areas serve upholsterers and DIYers, with outdoor fabric and marine vinyl easy to find near the harbours. George and Knysna have smaller suppliers and order specialist stock from Cape Town. Winter damp makes upholstery cleaning and mould treatment common, so run a rented extraction machine on a dry, windy day and keep windows open.
Upholstery work in Western Cape
Cape Dutch farmhouses, wine farm tasting rooms and Victorian cottages give the Western Cape a strong restoration tradition, with stinkwood and yellowwood chairs, riempie benches and old armchairs regularly rebuilt rather than replaced. Cape Town's upholsterers and motor trimmers work from Epping, Montague Gardens, Maitland and Ndabeni, with home workshops across the Cape Flats and fabric houses around Woodstock and Salt River. Wine estates in Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek recover lounge chairs, banquettes and outdoor cushions between seasons. Yachts and fishing boats at Hout Bay, Knysna and Hermanus need marine vinyl. Wet winters bring mould into closed holiday homes, while the summer sun and wind on the coast fade and wear patio fabric quickly.
Typical upholstery leather and vinyl requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: leather hides for a Chesterfield or recliner, or faux leather for dining chair seats
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: UV and mould resistant marine vinyl for ski boats, yachts and caravan seating
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: automotive leather and vinyl for car, bakkie and taxi seats and door cards
