Furniture refinishing in
West Hartford, Connecticut can improve your furnishings by restoring them to
new condition. After long periods of wear and use, not only will fabrics begin
to fade or become soiled beyond recovery, but cushions of chairs and couches
will tend to degrade, leaving lumpy or uneven surfaces to sit upon.
Professional restorative processes can return your furnishings to almost new
condition and allow you to once again sit comfortably in your favorite antique
chair or lounge on your heirloom antique couch. Here are the things that will
be done to return your piece to its former glory…read on!
Padding Your Seat
As mentioned previously,
after several years of use, the foam or padding used for the cushions in your
favorite couch or chair can become damaged, either pilling or ripping to create
a lumpy surface, or becoming compressed, which makes cushions uneven and less
comfortable to sit on. A furniture refinishing expert will be able to replace
the worn and damaged padding with new, more sanitary and stable materials that
should withstand many more years of use. If you are having a couch restored,
you should consider having all of the cushions’ padding replaced at the same
time, regardless of their condition, so that you will have an even surface to
sit on and know exactly when the last time your cushions received services.
Putting Spring In Your…Seat
In the case of older
couches, some of the springs that support your cushions may have become loose
or damaged over the years. This can lead to sagging seats and a lack of support
when you sit on your favorite couch. A furniture refinishing specialist can
replace or tighten the springs, re-establishing their effectiveness in
supporting you when you use your furnishings. New springs will also be less
noisy, and more resilient for many years to come.
Complete Recovery
Sometimes the fabric that
has been covering your cushions has seen better days. Between stains, rips,
wear and tear, the fabric that once covered your chair and couch cushions may
need to be replaced. If this is the case, your furniture refinishing expert
will let you know and help you select a new upholstery fabric to recover your
new padding and/or springs. Some antique restoration experts will have fabric
samples or an online gallery showroom full of new fabric samples from the top
manufacturers for you to review. And upon request, some of these restoration
experts will allow you to check out sample books to take home so that you can
see what a particular fabric will look like with your home’s interior design
scheme before you make a firm selection.
