  • Fabric and hardware—making the right choices

    Whatever type of project you are working on, you need to make smart materials choices. As every boat is unique and every customer is unique, so too is every project. Whether you are designing and crafting a simple protective boat cover or creating a one-of-a-kind custom interior for a luxury yacht, you need to select the fabrics and components carefully to ensure that the materials you use are the right choice for the particular application and will deliver the best possible outcome for you and your customer.

    The fabrics and hardware that you use must be able to stand up to the climate elements that your customer’s boat will be subjected to—from hot and humid tropical climates to cold winter/hot summer northern climates, and everything in between—both inside and outside the boat. And the materials you choose must deliver the unique ‘look and feel’ that matches your customer’s lifestyle. Other key factors include the desired style, color and texture selection; durability and dimensional stability; age, abrasion, stain and fade resistance; waterproof and mildew resistance.

    While you may have dealt with a variety of projects and materials, tapping into one resource with extensive and up-to-date product knowledge can be very beneficial. Given the ongoing evolution of fabrics, with many types, characteristics and styles, making the right choice can be a daunting task.
