Newport Upholstery provides interior and exterior marine upholstery work in all types yachts and boats. We can refinish or rebuild an existing design or develop a new one for your boat.

Upholstery Framing

There are a variety of options available when it comes to Newport upholstery. Just like when building a home, the foundation is one of the most important pieces of the upholstered item. Traditionally most frames are build from Newport lumber which is treated for the outdoor environments. Even with time though, moisture will break down the wood causing to to crack and crumble requiring replacement. Sometimes an original frame can be reused but you never want to reupholster a piece with a rotted out frame. Painting wood will help in extending the life of a wooden frame but ideally a synthetic frame is preferred such as King Starboard. King StarBoard® is the original Newport-grade high-density polyethylene sheet and the industry standard. It is the product of a proprietary process called K-Stran™, the most advanced manufacturing process for superior flatness and consistency. King StarBoard® is environmentally stabilized to withstand the harshest Newport conditions. It will not warp, rot, or delaminate when exposed to humidity or water. King StarBoard® is easy to fabricate with standard woodworking tools and requires little or no finishing.

Foam

Foam is another option often overlooked in the upholstery process. The shape of the foam is very important but other factors such as firmness and quality are also very important. The quality of foam is show in the “memory” of the foam and how quickly it regains it original form. A high quality foam will also last for year, remember that flat sofa from college? That was made from cheap foam. A popular option for exterior uphosltered pieces such as sunpads is Dri-Fast ® foam. Dri-Fast ® is an open cell polyurethane foam that is uniquely designed to let moisture drain through, so seats will dry faster. Dri-Fast ® cushioning “breathes”, keeping moisture at bay and reducing the formation of mold. It is made from a polymer that incorporates an anit-microbial additive to resist mildew, mold and odor.

Fabric

The majority of marine seating is covered in marine grade vinyl which is an excellent option for exterior seating.   There are other options available through such as Sunbrella upholstery fabric and a new fabric called Silvertex.

From basic canvas fabrics to designer upholstery fabrics like intricate jacquards, Sunbrella has thousands of quality upholstery fabrics to choose from to create a look all your own. These fabrics stand up to life on the water with a luxuriously soft touch that’s fade-resistant and easy to clean even the toughest stains on the water like mold, mildew and salt residue. Sunbrella upholstery fabrics are ideal for many boat upholstery applications.

Silvertex is a coated fabric engineered, tested and certified to resist the toughest conditions in marine environments. Anti-stain treatment, impermeability, UV-resistance, Cold Crack and Mildew resistance ensure that all requirements of the sector are met.
