Covering your furniture seats, cars seats, car flooring, boat seats and boat flooring with carpet upholstery, maintaining and cleaning it requires special considerations which differ from the regular carpets and rugs.

A carpet covering which is suitable for furniture may not suit for your automobile or your marine application.
For Marine applications the carpet will not only have to endure high usage, it also has to endure heat, direct sunlight and of course water and dampness. While selecting a carpet for boats, these factors along with the ease of maintained and cleaning needs to be considered.

In cars and other auto applications the carpet on the floor has to undergo a lot of stress from continuous usage as compared to the seats of the vehicle.


Carpets for auto flooring and for marine applications are made of synthetic material so that they endure for a longer period of time.

As compared to these the furniture upholstery undergoes a much lesser usage and more emphasis is on the colors, design and style rather than the ruggedness. The carpet upholstery also needs to be soft to feel especially for sofas, chairs and beds.
Carpets for upholstery are available in a wide range and most of the carpet manufacturers have special products suited for this range.
