Hi all,

I'm looking to replace the interior seating and upholstery in our 601UL as the fabric we've got in there is very tatty, stained and in need of a bit of love. Before I can persuade my wife to fly with me, I'm aiming to reupholster the seats and side panels.

Can anyone recommend to me any appropriate retailers for aircraft fabric either in the UK or close-by (Europe fine), where I can buy by the metre online and not require trade account?

Our 601 is maintained to LAA permit to fly so no signoff required on this, but we're obviously seeking fire-resistance, hard-wearing and water-resistance if possible. I found a potentially suitable fabric called AquaClean (technically, not sure if this is the fabric or the protective covering) but seems quite hard to source and I keep getting lead down dead-ends.

Thoughts/suggestions/ideas welcome - upfront, not looking to buy the upholstery kit from Zenith.

Hey Gary, 

Email me at robert_a_lemke@yahoo.com

I am an upholsterer in Germany and have access to hundreds of different materials, including FAR 25.853 compliant fabrics, suedes, and artificial leathers. All the materials on this site are Fire Resistant. 

For now you can look at my suppliers website directly if you like.

Let me know if anything is interesting, and I can tell you the costs.

Regards,

Robert
