Anyone who\u2019s spent time on a boat knows how valuable the upholstered seating can be. Hours outside in the sun, riding the waves makes you walk to sit down with a cocktail or lay down for an afternoon nap.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wear and tear of a textile can occur from a lack of care or coverage, but it\u2019s often the material itself that wasn\u2019t designed to withstand the elements of being on the water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing\u2019s worse than needing a little rest during your day on the water only to find the seating upholstery is torn, cracked, and rough from being weathered. Have you ever had this experience on a boat?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve encountered marine upholstery in rough shape, you have an appreciation for a <a href=\"\/category\/marine-vinyl-fabric\">marine vinyl fabric<\/a> that can stand up to water, sun, and extensive use. Low-quality upholstery leads to cracking, which will open the upholstered item up to mold and further structural issues.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can tell when a boat owner takes pride in caring for their boat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They rinse everything off when the season ends, cover any exposed areas and take the time to select a quality marine vinyl fabric for their upholstered seating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing a quality marine textile from the get-go can save you a lot of time and money down the road. We have some tips to help you get started just in time to reupholster before boating season begins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-high-quality-materials\">High-Quality Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might be asking yourself, what makes marine vinyl fabric so special? Every textile is made up of different materials, and while they may be beautiful to look at, not all textiles perform the same. Materials can be woven with antimicrobial thread or treated with a water-resistant coating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of these advancements in textiles are not visible to the naked eye. This is why we encourage our clients to familiarize themselves with a material\u2019s specifications. There was never a better time not to judge a book by its cover! Just because a material looks nice or appears sturdy does not mean you should overlook the product\u2019s specifications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a material that will look nice and hold up around water and sunshine is what every boat owner needs! For example, we enjoy leather upholstery as much as the next person, but we wouldn\u2019t put it on our boat. Leather might look great at first, but over time it would darken and harden and crack due to moisture penetrating the material over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-marine-vinyl-fabric-hold-up-over-time\">How Does Marine Vinyl Fabric Hold Up Over Time?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Water-Resistant<\/strong> &#8211; This vinyl is designed with a barrier preventing moisture from penetrating through the material. Water will gather on top of the textile and easily wipe away or dry in the sun.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Fade Resistant<\/strong> &#8211; Nothing fades pigment in furniture or textiles as fast as direct sunlight. Have you ever heard of the phrase sun bleached? This phrase is commonly used to describe items left outside (often outdoor furniture) that are lightened over time by the harsh, direct light. Your boat\u2019s upholstery is also at risk of being sun-bleached if the material is not designed to be fade-resistant.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Bacteria &amp; Mildew Resistant<\/strong> &#8211; Even when a material is upholstered well, moisture can sometimes make its way in through the seams. When a textile is resistant to bacteria and mildew, it can protect the integrity of the upholstery from the inside out. This means that even if some moisture gets into the upholstered item, the textile can help prevent mold growth within the foam or filling.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Stain Resistant <\/strong>&#8211; Boats are frequently used for entertaining, so it&#8217;s essential to select a stain-resistant material. Nobody wants food or drink stains ruining their gorgeous marine vinyl! Any spills will be able to wipe off without leaving a trace.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Performance Grade<\/strong> &#8211; Any high traffic seating should be upholstered in a performance grade material. Performance grade fabrics are favored in hotels, restaurants, and bars in hospitality environments. Whether you\u2019re adding upholstery to a speed boat where passengers bounce up and down or a yacht where you host large dinner parties, performance-grade fabrics will not pool or stretch easily, leaving your upholstery looking brand new.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-style-design-of-marine-vinyl-fabric\">Style &amp; Design&nbsp;of Marine Vinyl Fabric<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be challenging to pinpoint what\u2019s trending in the world of marine vinyl fabric, so we pulled a few of our favorite options for you to browse. If you\u2019re here looking for something outside of the factory-standard gray or tan, there are a few fun ways to add visual interest to your boat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Soothing Blue<\/strong> &#8211; Whether you\u2019re on a lake or in the ocean, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kovifabrics.com\/search\/product_detail\/2387\">this crystal blue textile<\/a> will provide that island vacation feeling we all crave. This color will blend right in if you\u2019re taking a boat out in the Caribbean.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Bright White<\/strong> &#8211; We\u2019ve all seen white upholstery on a boat, but when was the last time you saw faux ostrich? The white version of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kovifabrics.com\/search\/product_detail\/4328\">this material<\/a> is a luxurious twist on a generic color choice.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Just Peachy<\/strong> &#8211; Neutral tones have been trending in the interior design world for a few years now, so why not take it to the water? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kovifabrics.com\/search\/product_detail\/56140\">This sand-colored textile<\/a> would make the perfect neutral addition.

There are plenty of marine fabric options with patterns out there. These materials are more difficult to come by in the world of vinyl materials. We frequently recommend vinyl because of how well it holds up over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Question: <\/strong>I just bought a boat and would like to update the upholstery. How do I find someone to do this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong> We recommend contacting a local upholstery company. If there is a business in your area specializing in car, plane, or boat upholstery, reach out to them first. You\u2019ll be surprised to learn how many talented upholsterers are right in your own backyard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Question: <\/strong>What is the difference between marine vinyl and standard vinyl?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Standard vinyl can vary a lot. Some vinyl is made to mimic real leather, while others are designed to perform in healthcare environments. Because marine vinyl is prone to wear and tear over time, it tends to have more testing and treatment to ensure it can withstand being outdoors. Both options work well, and we always encourage you to read the material\u2019s specifications before purchasing. Just because vinyl is pretty doesn\u2019t mean it will hold up on your yacht at sea. Although, if you have a yacht at sea, updating the upholstery might not be your biggest concern.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Question: <\/strong>How do I care for my new marine vinyl upholstery? I want it to withstand the test of time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Covering your boat or seating when not in use will help your upholstery hold up over time. Even if your boat is parked in a covered slip or stored in a garage, keep the upholstered areas covered, and it will help preserve the vinyl material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weatherproof-vinyl\">Weatherproof Vinyl&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopping for boating upholstery can feel like an ultra-specific task which is why the team at Kovi is here to help!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope our tips above make the marine vinyl fabric sourcing process a bit easier.
