What marine upholstery is?

At All Vinyl Fabric, you can find a great selection of upholstery vinyl; including the amazingly durable marine upholsters vinyl.  This blog will give you a basic overview about what marine upholstery is. The reasons for why you may want to use it on your nautical equipment will logically follow thereafter!

                Marine Upholstery is very usefully made with our thick, durable vinyl fabric. This vinyl is different from other grades of the material because it is much thicker and much more able to endure harsh weather. You are sure to encounter a lot of sun, a lot of water, and salt, different tears, and rough, routine handling while on the boat. Being at sea tends to be more rigorous and taxing on things than you realize, especially when it seems like a nice sunny day. But the beating of the heat and in combination with salty sprays and other wet bodies sitting on the fabric—this can really add up and cause a lot of wear and tear on regular fabrics. If you want something water proof, yet also attractive, marine upholstery vinyl is the ticket. You’ll be able to find this fabric in a lot of different colors and patterns, too, because vinyl tends to be so versatile and easy to prepare in different styles. The surface of the fabric is receptive to colors and patterns and allows those colors and patterns to pretty vibrantly show.

                In future blogs, you’ll be able to see some of our more specific types of marine vinyl upholstery. Stay on the lookout, because this fabric is perfect for more applications than just sea-life, too!
