Clean Function
Seamless Joins & Medical Grade Fabrics
No part of a healthcare fit-out gets more use than the seating. It needs to support, stand up to wear and maintain a sense of order, even on high-turnover days. We build treatment tables, waiting room seating and procedure furniture that’s functional without feeling clinical.
Foam densities are selected for comfort during longer sessions, and surface materials are non-porous, stain-resistant and easy to disinfect. Seams are placed to reduce dirt traps, edges are wrapped clean and every finish is tested for medical environments.
For vet clinics, we reinforce stitching to resist clawing and allow for deep cleaning without wear. Whether you're updating a single consult room or fitting out an entire floor, we produce upholstery with discipline, precision and no disruption to your schedule.
What to Know Before You Start
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of fabric is best for medical upholstery?
The best options are medical-grade vinyls and coated textiles that resist moisture, bacteria, stains and repeated cleaning. These fabrics are designed to meet infection control standards while still offering comfort and durability. Look for products rated for commercial healthcare use, often with antimicrobial and antifungal treatments built in.
Colourfastness, abrasion resistance and stretch recovery are also essential to ensure the furniture stays clean-looking over time, even under heavy use.
Can vet clinics use the same upholstery materials as medical practices?
In many cases, yes — especially for reception and consultation seating. But for treatment zones, vet clinics often need additional reinforcement. Upholstery in these spaces should tolerate regular disinfecting, clawing, moisture exposure and animal movement.
Seams are usually double-stitched or sealed to avoid dirt build-up, and corners are shaped to prevent damage. High-density foams also help maintain structure and comfort under more vigorous use.
Is reupholstering medical furniture better than replacing it?
In most cases, yes — especially when the furniture frame is still structurally sound. Reupholstering lets clinics upgrade materials to meet updated safety standards or refresh tired spaces without discarding entire chairs or benches. It also allows for custom adjustments to foam density, back support or surface smoothness. For many clinics, it’s a more sustainable and cost-effective path to renewal.
