How do you feel when you look out across your old auditorium or cinema seating. Is there tattered fabric? Are the colors oh, so “70s”? If you walk out among the auditorium chairs, will you find some loose armrests, squeaky seat lifts and even a few broken seats?
Now, imagine a sea of stain-resistant upholstery in elegant and refined tones. Think of a facility with 100 percent solid seating, and without the squeaks! Imagine all those scratched and scuffed painted surfaces made perfect by polyester powder coating.
There’s good news! Your cinema or auditorium can get a real facelift without the purchase of new chairs! The craftsmen from Preferred Seating can travel to your site and turn those old chairs into beautifully refurbished seating. Our service extends to all fifty states. We’ve transformed university and school venues. We’ve addressed the needs of performing arts centers and civic centers.
We’ve taken on important historic projects as well. Perhaps you are renovating an art deco theater in an historic district. Maybe you are the project manager for the restoration of a turn-of-the-century opera house. New, modern theatre chairs would not look right anyhow. Ornamental standards will look fabulous after our craftsmen complete their work. Select that perfect fabric that will bring out the gold gilding and ornate plasterwork of your venue. Choose colors and textures that closely reflect the look and feel that you are after. Inject your own creativity and style. The possibilities are almost without limit.
Many times refurbishing is very cost effective and architecturally sound. Take advantage of the solid structure of your original seats. Perhaps they rest on solid cast iron or heavy steel standards. We can strip those down to bare metal and then add polyester powder coating for the ultimate in durability. This electrostatically-applied coating will reduce maintenance costs for a long time. Wood surfaces are stripped as well. Repairs are made and then the wood is beautifully refinished. We can even change the tone if you wish.
Those old cushions that have lost their buoyancy will be replaced. You can even select from different foams that range from softer to firmer. We’ll then re-upholster your seats using the fabric of your choosing. Our crew can also re-bolt any loose standards to the floor and fix any problem seat lifts as well. Also, our staff can tighten up those armrests before adding the new upholstery.
We at Preferred Seating have been leaders in commercial seating for over twenty years. Over the years we’ve learned what lasts and what doesn’t. We’ve acquired the skills necessary to offer refurbished theater seating that you will be proud of. And, don’t forget how much you’ll reduce that maintenance budget for years to come.
