FAQs About Marine Upholstery

What is the best material for marine upholstery?

Marine-grade vinyl is the best fabric choice for boats, built to withstand years of exposure to water, sun, and frequent use. Its durability, mold resistance, and easy maintenance allow you to enjoy your time on the water without worrying about constant upkeep.

What is the difference between marine vinyl and regular vinyl?

If you’re researching upholstery materials, marine-grade options are the best choice for boat owners who need fabric that holds up over time. Marine vinyl is specifically engineered for boats and outdoor environments, offering superior protection against water, UV rays, and mildew. Unlike regular vinyl, it includes UV inhibitors, mildew resistance, and waterproofing to help it last in harsh conditions.

Our Ship 2 Shore Vinyl Collection is designed to withstand the elements, just like premium brands such as Sunbrella Horizon. Plus, our team is here to help you sort through options, answer your questions, and guide you toward the best material for your project.

How much does marine upholstery cost?

The cost of marine upholstery varies depending on fabric quality, texture, and intended use. At Midwest Fabrics, you get great value for your money with competitively priced marine vinyl. Whether you need a single yard for a small project or bulk quantities for large-scale work, we offer easy access to high-quality fabric by the yard. Our helpful team can point you toward the right material, so you can sort through options that fit your budget and needs.

How long does marine vinyl last?

The lifespan of marine upholstery depends on factors like material quality, exposure to the elements, and maintenance. High-quality marine vinyl can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years with proper care. Regular cleaning, using protective covers, and minimizing prolonged sun exposure can help extend its durability. Investing in mildew-resistant and UV-protected fabrics also ensures your boat’s seating stays in great condition for years to come.

What should you avoid using on boat seats?

Harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia-based cleaners, and abrasive scrubbing pads can damage marine upholstery by breaking down protective coatings and causing premature wear. Always use mild soap and water or vinyl-safe cleaners to maintain your seats.

When it comes to materials, avoid non-marine-grade fabrics like untreated cotton, regular upholstery vinyl, or leather, as they lack the necessary resistance to water, UV rays, and mildew. These materials can degrade quickly in marine environments, leading to cracking, fading, or mold growth.
