Choosing a foam rubber for packing, you need to take into account that its density should be 30-50 kg / cube. m. Only then the seat will not be able to be comfortable. By choosing the skin as a upholstery, keep in mind that it should be elastic for convenience of work, therefore its thickness should not exceed 3 mm.

Feathering

First, the pva glue attach foam rubber to plywood. To do this impose glue on wooden surface And on the upper part of the foam rubber and waiting for its complete drying. After cutting out the fabric desired size, better with a margin; If the piece turned out to be less than you need, it will not be possible to correct the situation. Placed fabric so that front side It turned out to be downstairs, they put a soft part of the chair. As an additional filler, in the middle lay syntheps.

Methods of restoration of old furniture

Restoration old furniture - The process of time consuming, but undoubtedly creative. Using various techniques, the wealth of the choice of materials and their combinations allows you to get a unique thing in kind. The methods used in the repair depend on the type of furniture and the degree of damage, but combines them all preparatory stage: Removing the old coating from the surface wooden products Anyone affordable way, for example, emery paper, ranging from more rude and completing fine-grained.

• Traditional methods Furniture updates are considered lacquary and swimming. In this way, you can update the coating partially either completely.
• Another popular and inexpensive way is lamination, that is, the surface coating with a film. It is more suitable for smooth surfaces. When gluing it is important to start moving from the center, gradually moving towards the edges. This will avoid unaesthetic bubbles.

• Veneer coating - it's more professional type Restoration. Materials will require special glue, iron and veneer sheets. The technology is not very complicated - 2 layers of glue are applied to the surface, the veneer applies and stroke the iron from the center to the edges. The method is something similar to the previous one, but the result looks much noble.
• Of the fashion directions in updating furniture, more preference is given to technicians decoupage, cracker, painting with paints.

If the object of restoration becomes upholstered furniture, for example, a chair, then in addition to basic measures, it will probably be necessary to change the upholstery. When updating soft surfaces, it is sometimes enough to simply alter the decorative fabric. But most often under the case are hidden internal breakdowns that require major repairs.

What features of the chairs need to take into account when restoration?

Before starting repair, it is important to determine the type of stool, its purpose and features of the design. It is necessary to evaluate visible damage and try to predict the likely internal. These data will help you understand what instruments and materials will be useful to us. Next, several classifications will be considered.

The following groups are distinguished by purpose:

• For home. This group includes chairs in the kitchen, for a living room, a cabinet and other rooms. Most often they are universal and used in any room of the apartment;
• For Street Most often make models from plastic and polymers. There are examples of wooden street chairs, but they must be treated with moisture-resistant impregnations;

• Office Mobile chairs, have a back and sometimes armrests, equipped with height adjustment;
• Barna Chairs have a height of up to 80 cm, come with a back and without. The seat of the bar stool is most often round, the presence of the upholstery depends on the model.

According to the method of making a frame there are such chairs:

• Carpentry Chairs are the simplest in the manufacture, which were made on labor lessons at school;

• Exact - are named so because all the elements of the circular cross section are made on the machine;

• Bentchairs make on special equipment. The tree is treated with steam, give the desired shape and dried;

• Cast Or stamped models are made of metal or plastic.

By type of seat, the chairs are divided into the following options:

• Hard. These are models without flooring;
• Semi-mug. These include chairs without a spring block with a foam strip in 2-4 cm;
• Soft chairs. For elasticity, equipped with springs and a layer of foam rubber, the average thickness of which is 3-5 cm.

By availability of armrests:

• Chairs with armrests can be rigid or soft with skin or textile.

Removal of old upholstery and carcass inspection

The initial stage of the chairs of the chair is his disassembly. Dismantling every detail remember and mark what was there, it will make it easy to build finished product. First of all, you need to remove the seat, for this you need to remove all attachments (bolts, nails, brackets, metal plates). Similarly, the backrest is also taken if it is.

After that, it is necessary to inspect the framework of the chair for the presence of hidden damage, cracks, separated by compounds, check the status of the springs that come into disrepair are easily replaced with a jute ribbon. Next - the selence of the seat and backs: removal of the bracket and the neat removal of the finishing fabric and filler. It is not necessary to throw them away at once, as it is easy to make melts and measure the approximate flow rate. The plywood foundation should be cleaned from the residues of the foam rubber and glue, if it cracked, cut a new one. The next stage is the preparation of materials and tools.

How to choose materials?

Evaluating the front of the work, you can move to the compilation of the list of materials. Upholstery change usually requires the use of the following materials.

Upholstery fabric

• The aesthetic form of the future cover should be combined with practicality. It takes to avoid options with a sharp smell and fading. Probably in production was used poor-quality, toxic dye.
• Fat fabric with a pile will help the newcomer to hide the upholstery flaws. At the same time, the displacement details, it is important to take into account the direction of the pile. If you forget about this feature, the color of the details in the final product may differ.

• To save on the flow rate of the tissue, it is necessary to prefer a smooth material with a small abstract pattern. Such a texture and texture makes it possible to have occasionally economically, in any directions.
• If the highlight of your design should be a drawing or a large ornament, then get ready to buy more fabrics. In this case, the direction of lines is important when stating. The mismatch of the pattern on the seats and the back is dramatically highlighted and looks sloppy. For example, if the red strip goes sharply into blue, or the details of the ornament are shifted relative to each other.

• Choosing a decorative upholstery, take into account the purpose of the chair. For example, for kitchen chairs, you should choose the material durable and easily cleaned.
• The upholstery of the leatherette will give the solidity of the furniture, but it will be slightly longer than other types of fabric.

These tips are not at all involve the limited choice.

Types of upholstery fabrics can be diverse:

• The most common fabric in the production of upholstered furniture is tapestry. Two-layer tissue, it has a rich texture and texture. But she conquered furniture makers not only with beauty, but also durability, durability and practicality. It can be washed, it does not fade in the sun. Tapestry has antistatic properties, due to this, dust is not going on its surface.

• Another popular option - shenille. This is a beautiful, available fabric made of fluffy shenyl threads. The canvas woven from such a thread is obtained volumetric, and it is soft and velvety on the touch. Using Shenyl threads in different types Weaving (tapestry, jacquard, satin) allows you to get interesting textures, and a combination of different colors (their number sometimes comes to eighteen) creates unique patterns. Optimal option For drawing chairs at home are samples with a mixed composition. The presence of artificial fibers increases the wear resistance of the tissue. The main drawback of Shenill - hygroscopicity: from the water there are spots on it and its deformation is likely, so it does not fit for kitchen chairs.

• Flock- This is an artificial analogue of velvet. He meets all the requirements for upholstery fabric: nice appearance, durability, simplicity of care (easy to clean), not afraid of animal claws.

• Velours - One of the most expensive and impractical upholstery, velvety to the touch, spectacular, but quickly wear out. Suitable for furniture that is rarely used.

• Thinking chair Natural skinYou will get a practical thing for many years. But this material is quite expensive, therefore the consumer offers the leaks: eco-eco and dermatin. The leatherette took over external characteristics real skin, but inferior in quality. Upholstery with leatherette will withstand from 2 to 5 years, depending on the intensity of operation. Perhaps the hauling of ecocuses will slightly increase the service life.

Filler

For the soft chairs at home, the selection of the filler is not so great: Singrytepsum or foam. Having stopped at Sintegone, pay attention to its color and smell. Something from white tint, as well as the presence of a sharp smell signal about the use of a second-rate or toxic raw material. Check the material structure and its strength. The canvas uneven thickness and density that is easy to break the hands is definitely not suitable. Suitable foam rubber is easy to distinguish in structure: the fewer bubbles, the higher the density and quality. In order not to be a deceived seller, make sure that when pressing the sample does not make a cod (it is bursting with artificially sealed cells).

• If the soul chair, then may need a jute tape. It can be replaced by the springs that came in dissent.
• Elements for finishing: ribbons, lace, cords, buttons and others.
• Cardboard or dense paper For pattern.
• Primer, paint, varnish or skeleton print.
• Plywood sheet.
• PVA glue.

Preparation of instruments

The following will be useful from the tools:

• Furniture stapler with brackets or hammer with furniture nails;
• Screwdriver, pliers, nippers, booths;
• Santimeter tape, scissors, ruler;
• Durable threads for sewing (Titan recommended);
• Sewing machine.

The process of replacing step by step

• Frame repair. The old coating is removed, all the cracks detected during the inspection are carefully sampled, the chips are spitted. The weakened compounds are compacted, for example, by the inserted wedge, and are additionally fixed with glue. The springs failed are cleaned, the jute bands are fixed in their place in checkers. If the bottom is plywood, then, depending on the state, it can be changed on a new one or cleaned from the remnants of glue and filler. The frame is covered with paint, varnish or verse or one of the modern decoration techniques is applied. So that the new coating lasts longer, before painting the surface should be treated with primer. White primer is suitable if you are going to use paint, colorless allows you to save a pattern of wood, so suitable for varnishing. After drying the primer, the surface is grinning and painted at least 2 layers.

• While the frame dries, produced seat folding. First of all, parts of the fabric and foam rubber are cut. If the old upholstery does not work as a template, it is made pattern from cardboard. To do this, the plywood base is reduced and added 2-4 cm per battery. With the help of the stationery knife, the filler is cut. Then the tissue pattern is made on the same lecture. Remember that displacements and inconsistencies are not allowed. Cutting out the fabric, leave the allowance of 10 cm on the bending.

• The next step - seat tightness. If the seat is a separate item, then the filler is glued to the upper side of the base. When the glue dries, decompose the upholstered tissue with an inlets up and cover the seat with a porporal side. Make sure the base is correct relative to the pattern or pattern. Sequentially adjust the edges of the fabric to the base with the help of a furniture gun (step in 1-2 cm), trying to avoid large folds. This stage is difficult to perform independently, because the fabric needs to be tightly and evenly pull from all sides. It is important to observe " golden middle": With too tight tensioning, the foam rubber is deformed and flakes it faster. Cut the surplus fabric. If the seat is inseparable from the frame, then all manipulations are held immediately on the chair, while if there are springs, it is desirable to close with a dense cloth, such as burlap, and put the filler on top of it.

Even if you carefully monitor and carefully care for your furniture, one day the moment of wear occurs when it loses initial View. Indicators that it is time to change something - a lot. A seat can be sold or to form a hole, but the most common is the external damage to the upholstery. Over time, it is getting dirty, flutters and stirring, giving a chair or chair a very non-primary look. However, you should not hurry to get rid of old furniture. After all, you can renovate it. Hauling chairs - the process is not too time-consuming, but it will return to them for the old beauty or even make it better. There are a lot of companies that are engaged in the restoration of any kind of furniture. But if your chairs require conventional halves, and do not need serious carpentry or some other complex transformation, then you can safely do it yourself. Thus, you will succeed and save money, and subsequently rejoice at the creation of your hands.

Hauling chairs with your own hands will return to them for the old beauty, or even make them better.

Preparatory work

By itself, the hauling implies what certain operations will be made, during which soft furniture elements are replaced. The main condition is a good skeleton state. IN otherwise It will take a deep restoration.

If various were worn out small parts, You can disassemble both the seat of the chair and its back, replacing the old or broken items with new ones. It is better to immediately check whether the wood is not amazed, perhaps the beech grinder worked on it, then the furniture will be restored almost impossible.

Materials and tools

In order not to be distracted from work, it is better to take care of the preparation of all necessary tools and materials necessary for having fun:

1. Measure the pre-seat chairs that are going to restore. To the resulting digit, you need to decide on each side of 15-20 cm. Such a stock will be needed for subsequent upholstery height. The fabric is better to choose from tapestries, flock, jacquard or shenill.

Phased hauling chairs

Latex, batting, or sheet foam rubber, is best suited for stools.

First, a certain dismantling operation is performed. It is necessary to do the most carefully and carefully to damage anything, and then all without any problems collect back.

Slowly pull out old nails or brackets using pliers or anti-stripler. With facing material should also be careful, because it can come in handy later as a pattern for new sheathing. When you remove it, cut the twine that holds the burlap and filler. And in order to remove the elements of the springs, cut the twine, which fixes them. Then the removal of all unnecessary nails will be needed. Gently fold the metal plates, nuts and screws so as not to lose them and do not look for later replacing them. The dilapidated upholstery can also be useful, so do not rush to throw it away. She will serve as a pattern. Just put the old fabric on the wrong one and circle on the edge of chalk. So, you will get a pattern for a new upholstery.

The back is dismantled in the same way as the seat. Now it is better to check, in what condition your chairs. After all, why do double work? Complete compounds, cobble and roll crack clamps in wood, replace the unsuitable elements. You can all cover with varnish, paint. Otherwise, in itself, the hauling chairs will not give a positive effect. Remove the garbage, the remnants of the filler and the traces of the glue from the plywood base of the seat.

For high-quality fun, you need to make a template. To do this, you will need to lay chairs of cardboard pieces on the plywood seats and cut them with a pencil. When the plywood is cleaned, take into account the allowance, it is worth adding 2-4 cm in the drawings. Cut the template using a stationery sharp knife or scissors.

So, with the help of the stencil, the foam rubber is also cut. If suddenly it did not work out the use of a worn upholstery for the pattern (as described above), then the material can also be cutting through the cardboard pattern. To do this, it should be circled by tissue with a pencil or chalk, given on each side 10 cm for the pent. Now you can cut. Watch out what kind of fabric, because you need a good stock material. There are many nuances here. The picture should be in the center, so that the chairs have a presentable look, all patterns and lines should be properly located and match each other. Immediately place everything that you did, so that I did not have to repeat.

If in the models of chairs inside not plywood, and the frame with a weaving from rubber or grid, it will be necessary to check, in what condition is a wicker base.

Unsuitable and worn material is better to throw out, and in return to fix dense and wide rubber tapes.

Now you can glue the foam over the seat. When the glue is completely dry, there comes a turn of upholstery fabric. It puts up with an insane, and then covered with a seat with a foam rubber facing it. That fabric that you have in stock should be bent in a circle on Faneru.

At the end of the halves, it is necessary to tightly pull the material along the edge of the trim, at a distance of about 1-2 cm to shoot the fabric to the seat. Make sure that large folds or weaknesses do not appear between the fasteners. Spend unreliable brackets with a hammer. Cut excess fabric. If your chairs square shapethen you need to bend folds and at the corners. On this hauling is over.
