Loose Covers
Advantages
- Good value. Probably about a quarter of the cost of a new suite
- From an environmental point of view, loose covers are also a great choice as you are effectively recycling your sofa or suite
- Washability is also a big plus point for loose covers. Most Plumbs covers are machine washable. Your consultant will advise any fabrics that are dry clean only.
- Massive choice of fabrics. You can choose from hundreds of options.
- Producing loose covers is a traditional craft by genuine local craftsmen and women
- British made
Reupholstery
Advantages
- Price wise a re-upholstered suite will be around half the cost of buying a brand new quality suite.
