Either way, our friendly and knowlegable staff will be pleased to assist, with expert help and advice, regarding any furnishing queries or problems you may have. If your motorhome has existing pelmets then of course these can be changed when we make your curtains. If they are 'board' pelmets at present then we can strip off the old fabric and recover them in the fabric of your choice. Alternatively, we can make simple pelmets that fit with 'hook & loop tape' over your existing boards. CURTAIN PRICES The QUALITY of the foam is down to its density, and determines how long it will last, keep its support and shape and it will of course have a bearing on its cost.

Choosing your foam…

Caravan and boat upholstery, foam, soft furnishings, mattresses from CBSCC, Bristol suppliers. Existing cushions are refilled or supplied brand new – fully upholstered and complete with matching accessories. If you wish, you can book a ‘slot’ for you to leave your motorhome with us while we carry out all the work you would like to have done. Also, everybody has their own personal taste when it comes to fabrics, but that taste can change over time, and you may simply get tired of looking at a particular pattern or colour, or you may have had enough of a certain type of material. The FIRMNESS on the other hand has nothing to do with Quality, it’s simply a matter of personal preference, i.e. we have various degrees of Firmness, in each Quality. You have a choice of 20 Machine Washable fabrics. They are all 100% Polyester so are extremely hard wearing and don’t ‘ladder’ like old nylon covers did years ago.

Our most popular product is our made-to-measure removable washable seat covers which can be fitted straight over upholstered seating. They are very tough and hard wearing and are obtainable in numerous different textile styles and colours, complemented with coordinating curtain fabrics if required. Fabric and foam are cut to size. There are various patterns for cab seats depending on the vehicle model.Whether you choose a fabric with a nap, such as velvet or chenille, or opt for a flat linen look material is entirely one of personal choice - either style is suitable for covering caravan seating. On a related note, if you have an older caravan or motorhome you may find that the foam in the seats has ‘bottomed out’, which means that the foam has lost its resilience and when you come to sit down you hit the plywood base or slats with a bump. These are some of the reasons you might consider reupholstering your outfit, and here I take a step-by-step look at the process.

As regards curtain heading types, we are able to make your new curtains using traditional 'rufflette' type curtain tape or, if required, the 'plastic popper' tape found in some touring caravans. If required we can also make 'eyelet' curtains in any of our fabrics. CURTAIN LININGSThis is an excellent high density foam that gives good comfort and durability without going to the slightly higher cost of our 'Supreme' grade. It has a long life expectancy and a five year guarantee. It is our most chosen foam grade! This grade is ideal for both sitting and sleeping on and is available in various degrees of firmness. FOAM COMBINATIONS The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, which require fabric supplied for domestic upholstery to pass a 'match test' do not apply to the re-covering of seating in second-hand caravans. Because of this we have included, in our list of appropriate fabrics, some cloths which are not flame retardant (FR). Each piece of fabric is attached to a thin layer of foam for extra comfort and carefully stitched together by a professional machinist. Pelmets, door cards and head rests are glued or stapled. Usually the customer selects their fabric on the day of the refit. At Regal Furnishings there isa vast array of finishes from which to choose.Depending on individual requirements, staff remove pelmets, seat cushions, headboards, front cab seats and door cards. We have an extensive range of foams available in varying grades and densities, which can be cut and supplied to virtually any shape or size. All are flame retardent and meet all of the British fire and combustion safety standards.

This is our best quality foam. It is our highest density grade and is the 'Rolls Royce' of all the foams we offer. It has a long life expectancy and a seven year guarantee. It is suitable for both sitting and sleeping on and was one of the first specifically developed to help minimise the effects of moisture, so ideal for use in a touring caravan. Within this grade there are various firmness options available. CBSCC COMFORT EXTRA GRADE We have your van here for 2 weeks, enabling us to take the time to do everything you have asked for calmly and with a great attention to detail.The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations (1988) set new levels of fire resistance for domestic upholstered furniture and furnishings. From 1 March 1990 new caravans had to comply with the standard, so look for appropriate labelling on furniture when buying. In fact, some owners of older models have responded by having their upholstery upgraded. These regulations don’t apply to motor vehicles, so furniture and furnishings in motorhomes often don’t conform to the same standards. That said, some converters will use fire-resistant materials – it’s a good idea to ask when buying. Step-by-step guide BUYER BEWARE! There are over 30 different foam qualities made in the UK today… so it would be very easy for an unscrupulous company to supply a customer something described as a “good, firm foam”, but was actually just a poor quality foam in a hard firmness… something the customer wouldn’t find out until a few months down the line!
