Pool Table Refelting With Interior Design In Mind

By Lisa Williamson


Anyone who's ever played billiards understands it is a wonderfully entertaining game that provides great challenges and skill. People are very attracted to the game for various reasons, and often love having access to it within their own homes. Unfortunately, most simply don't have the added space to accommodate its over-sized dimensions, but there are many that do, and at some point, will have to do some maintenance. Below are the options of pool table refelting, but with interior decor in mind for the savvy consumers of Denver, Co.

Traditionally, this lovely piece of furniture, because it can be intricately decorated or simply modern, is covered with turf green felt. However, more and more people are choosing other colors to help blend it in with their existing decor. It's a smart way to ensure that the space works together.

For some, it's about interior design, for others it's about the wear and tear of the felt, and then there are those who have suffered direct damage as a result of a bad shot. It is an unfortunate occurrence, but it can be a common one, especially if those playing don't have much experience. The point is, replacement is necessary after damage is done, because it will interfere with the playing surface.

Whether it's for interior design purposes, wear and tear, or an unfortunate accident, consumers have lots of choices today with regards to felt colors. Many opt for camel, because it's a soft color, considered neutral, and therefore blends well with other neutral colors and beyond. Some may prefer the deep red to blend in with their bolder design scheme. While very attractive, and striking, it can tire the eyes.

Blue is another popular choice, because it stands out, it is bold, but it's not as hard on the eyes as is the red. Of course, one can always choose the very popular turf green, which still tops the list. No matter which one is chosen, this is a professional job because it must be done to perfection. Otherwise, it will just interfere with the game.

The job entails the removal of the existing felt, from both the surface and the bumpers. From there, the new felt will have to be cut to size, which is usually done off-site. The specialist will use his top-notch skills to deliver the best results, after dismantling and replacing the pieces in question.

Because this is such intricate work, and because it requires very fine tuned skills, the replacement certainly comes with a cost. As in all industries that are competitive, some charge more than others. To get the best value, it is recommended to seek out an experienced professional with the best prices.

More often than not, the company representative will provide an estimate after having seen the pool table in question. Some skilled laborers may charge by the hour, while others will give a fixed rate. Most consumers prefer to go with those that provide the fixed rate because, if the individual is having trouble with the installation, the consumer is not charged more than necessary.
