What to Know Before You Start
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best upholstery for marine seating?
Marine-grade vinyl remains the standard—resistant to UV, salt and mildew, while offering structure and support. When paired with closed-cell foam, it won’t absorb water or lose form. For higher-end finishes, textured canvas and breathable mesh can be incorporated depending on placement and exposure.
Can I replicate my boat’s original upholstery?
Yes. If you’re after an OEM-level finish, high-resolution matching can be done for colours, patterns, edge profiles and stitching. For rare or international boats, we’ll replicate dimensions and update materials for improved performance without changing the original look.
How long does marine upholstery last?
With proper care, quality marine upholstery can last up to 8-10 years. Factors like sun exposure, mooring location and storage method impact lifespan. Covered seating and breathable boat covers can significantly extend the life of upholstery between seasons.
