Fabric or leather. Most of Sofaboats designs are available in any covering of your choice. This is where Sofaboats is very rarely rivalled. We have available hundreds of fabrics, leathers and vinyl on show, in fact, if we don't have the covering, it probably doesn't exist. We have fabric to suit commercial or domestic use. All fabrics are Fire retardant to Standard but can be upgraded to Source 5.
Once you are happy with your design and all the decisions are down on paper, or you have clicked all the options, the magic that is Sofaboats begins. The hardwood frame is created in the frame shop, by true craftsmen. When your chosen cover arrives in the cutting room, a qualified time served cutter with years of experience adjusts the patterns and cuts out your sofa or furniture. Fabric such as Tartans and stripe patterns can’t be generally cut out using a computer as it all has to match. The pieces are marked and then transferred to the sewing room. Here is where highly experienced machinists turn your cut-out pieces into the covers used to upholster your unique design. Using Saddle stitch, overlocking, top stitch and piping they give the finish you chose. The covers then pass to the upholsterer, the artisan with the skills to put all the elements together. This is not mass market; each piece of your furniture is created by one upholsterer following your explicit instructions for the look, feel and finish you require.
Custom made design and build stage to this standard does not happen overnight. We quote on average 4 to 6 weeks subject to your design and availability on the fabric, leather or vinyl of your choice.
Delivery. The final stage of the bespoke service is delivery to you. All Sofaboats deliveries are carried out by our own trained fitters, so really all you have to worry about is your next voyage
