Light blue vinyl

Post by Mike Shipman »

Hi, not sure if this is the right section but here goes...
Does anyone know if there is a supplier of vinyl sheet, I have a smoke grey traveller with shabby coverings inside and I would like to recover these as the replacement parts are pretty expensive. Any pointers to suppliers would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

Hi,
Would this do?

Looks like he has a few metres available, so he should have enough. His Business name and address in Nottingham are at the bottom of the page if you scroll down (click on 'see details and exclusions' in red), so you may be able to find his number and contact him directly.
Best wishes,
Mike.

You could do worse than speak to one of these companies,
Both sell vinyl by the meter, and will post goods out.
Most vinyl is 56"wide so you can get a lot of parts from a meter piece,

They supply just about everything you would need upholstery wise including sponge of varying thicknesses to go under your vinyl if you want a slightly padded look, they also sell upholstery glue and tools like staple guns etc.

There are some companies selling cheap vinyl which is very thin and horrible to work with, it's often found on places like eBay etc,

If you have not worked with vinyl before remember that it normally stretches much more one way than the other, so bear that in mind.

Vinyl also comes in different grains, from very smooth to very heavy, minors would be smoother grains,

Most companies will send you small samples out in the post (for a small fee) as they will often have several options of most colours,

There are lots of other suppliers out there, Google will probably bring up loads but we buy from these two companies and have always been happy with quality and service, having said that I have no connection to either company.
