Commercial Upholstery for Singapore Businesses
Commercial upholstery operates on a fundamentally different set of requirements than residential work. A hotel lobby chair may see 50 people sit on it daily. A restaurant dining chair endures spills, stains, and heavy use across two service periods every day. An office task chair accumulates 8-10 hours of continuous use. These are not conditions that residential-grade fabrics and techniques can handle.
We provide commercial upholstery services specifically designed for high-traffic Singapore venues. Whether you need dining chair reupholstery for a restaurant or sofa reupholstery for a hotel lobby, we handle it all. Every job uses commercial-grade fabrics rated at 50,000+ double rub cycles (Martindale or Wyzenbeek). Fabrics meet SCDF fire safety requirements with BS 5852 or California TB 117 certification. Foam is high-density commercial specification that maintains shape after thousands of compression cycles.
Replacing worn commercial furniture is expensive — a single restaurant dining chair costs $200 to $500 new. For a venue with 80 chairs, that is $16,000 to $40,000 in replacement costs. Reupholstering the same 80 chairs costs $6,400 to $12,000 — a saving of 50-70% while getting better fabric than the original specification.

Our Commercial Upholstery Process
Site Assessment
We visit your venue to assess the furniture condition, count pieces, and understand your operational schedule. We bring fabric swatches so you can see colours and textures in your actual space. The site assessment is free.
Proposal and Scheduling
We deliver a fixed-price proposal with fabric recommendations, timeline, and logistics plan. For active businesses, we create a phased schedule — collecting and returning furniture in batches so you always have seating available for customers.
Collection
Our team collects furniture during your off-peak hours. For restaurants, between services. For hotels, during low-occupancy periods. For offices, after business hours or on weekends. We handle all logistics.
Workshop Reupholstery
Each piece is stripped, inspected, repaired (frame and foam as needed), and reupholstered with your selected commercial-grade fabric. Quality control checks ensure consistency across all pieces in the batch.
Return and Inspection
Completed furniture is returned to your venue and set up in position. We conduct a walkthrough with your operations manager to verify quality and consistency. Turnaround is typically 10-21 working days depending on quantity.
