Truck upholstery, also known as vehicle trimming, is an important part of many Commercial Sewing operations. Trimming professionals cater to a wide range of industries. From marine companies to automotive specialists, public transport companies to aviation, upholstery has a part in pretty much every commercial operation. Fabric types are varied in texture, style, durability and cost. The information below should illuminate some of the choices that professional vehicle upholsters will offer.
Nylon is a durable, hardwearing upholstery fabric, which comes in many colours. There are plain and patterned designs and you can choose a type which best suits the interior of your vehicle. Because nylon is weaved, it is harder to tear than other fabrics. It is also highly stain resistant, providing you can wash out any spills before the dry. It is also the most popular form of fabric found in most automobiles. It is available in many colours and is the least expensive form of trim for your vehicle.
There are many variations on vinyl. Authentic vinyl is a good material for seat upholstery. It is highly durable, easy to clean and comfortable. Faux vinyl takes on the characteristics of leather or suede or other types of material. It is hardwearing and can have the appearance and shine of soft leather or the dullness of fabric trim. Faux vinyl is a mock vinyl, which emulates the real article at a fraction of the cost. There is also a clear plastic vinyl option, which acts as an additional seat cover. These can be removed and cleaned separately and can protect more valuable upholstery underneath. PCV also known as soft plastic is a vinyl style-material that is pliable and easy to form. It stretches well and is used in lower-end models of cars and vans. It can be coloured or made in black and white, but it is notorious for being sticky to sit on during the summer. Heat has a tendency to make the upholstery sweat and the driver of the vehicle is best advised not to wear shorts in the summer if their vehicle is lined with PVC.
By its very nature, leather has a glamorous style that suits those vehicle owners who would like to travel in style. It can be coloured or patterned but is durable and can be soft or firm in design depending on personal choice.Cloth-based suede fabrics are a nice choice for an automobile interior. Polyurethane is a solid face material that is a good alternative to leather. Cheaper than leather, polyurethane is soft, cool and highly durable. Abbreviated to PUR and PU, polyurethane is a polymer composed of a chain of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links, hence the prefix poly, meaning many. These polymers are used to manufacture a whole range of products, including seats, panels, wheels and tires, high performance adhesives and surface coatings.
Suede is soft to the touch and feels like brushed cotton. This automobile fabric is not preferable because suede stains, damages and looks horrible when unkempt.
