Do you have a traditional footstool in your home? Or maybe you have footstools in your commercial premises such as restaurant or bar? It might be time to replace the old fabric that is on your footstool, this can happen when the fabric has become worn and run down, if you are ready to change your footstool fabric then you have come to the right place.
At Alan Henderson & Son’s furniture, we have worked with footstools for several years, offering complete upholstery and reupholstery services. We strip every off the footstool upside down to just its frame and carry out complete repairs, or we can provide you with just the fabric replacements.
Our skilled upholsterers undertake all traditional work, including re-caning, re-springing and French Polishing. All we need to know is what your chosen fabric is and whether you want more padding or less, and we can transform your old stool into a brand new piece of furniture.
Do You Know What Footstool Fabric You Want?
Is the footstool you want reupholstering a family piece? Has it been made using specific materials? If so, you are in the right place; our team are experts at helping our clients create their dream footstool, whether it is using traditional methods such as “staple fabric” to recreate a sentimental piece from your childhood or cutting fabric to add a brand new design and style to your footstool.
Our team of footstool upholsterers can remove any old fabric on-site and assess any damage to the frame; we will then discuss the fabric you want; once that has been done, we will begin the process. The best way to remove any old fabric from your footstool is to use a staple remover, and when it comes to replacing the fabric, is it secured by using a staple gun? We will continue stapling until the fabric is pulled to the corners enough, but not so tight it breaks.
Choosing the suitable fabric for your footstool is an integral part of any project; whether you want to keep it in the same fabric as it was before it was upholstered or you want to go for a brand new design, we have a wide range of special offers on the cloth and fabric we have.
How To Reupholster A Footstool?
Tired furniture can be given a new lease of life. The three-piece suite you’re accustomed to looking somewhat dilapidated (i.e. cushions flat, fabric worn) can be brought back to life with the help of our skilled staff: completely renovated and as good as new, and so can the footstool that has been in the corner of your kitchen for several years untouched.
At Alan Henderson & Son, furniture is stripped of its material to its original frame and repairs made to the frame. If necessary, new webbing and springs may be fitted, and new foam and wadding will be added to meet Fire Retardancy regulations. This process is carried out to make the fabric secure across the frame, enabling the fabric to pull tight enough to be secure but not damaged.
The process of reupholstering a footstool is simple. Our team will remove every tack that is stapled into the edges to remove the fabric; from there, we will remove all of the stuffing and padding and put this to one side if it is reusable. Once we have done that, we will assess the state of the chair, the legs and all of the wood.
If we determine the frame is sound and can be reused without further repair, we will attach the fabric you have chosen using the pull and tack method, putting a staple underneath the frame to hold the fabric.
