marine upholstery material
Sun, salt spray and constant moisture wear down ordinary fabric fast, so the right marine upholstery material makes all the difference when you recover boat seats, cushions or cockpit benches. Whether you are refreshing a pontoon, a bass boat or a sailboat cabin, choosing a fabric built for the water helps your project look good season after season.
What to Look For in Marine Fabric
Weather and UV Resistance
Look for UV resistant vinyl or treated outdoor upholstery fabric designed to hold its color and flexibility under strong sunlight. Check each product description for the protections it lists.
Moisture and Mildew Protection
Water is unavoidable on a boat. A mildew resistant fabric with a sturdy backing helps cushions dry and stay fresh between trips.
Easy Cleaning and Comfort
Good boat seat vinyl wipes clean of sunscreen, fish scales and spills while staying comfortable to sit on.
