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.

No matter how it is looked at, this is a piece of furniture. Some may be impressively designed with elaborate ornamentation, while others may have straight lines. Very often, and especially in the past, its surface is covered with green felt. Today, with interior design on the mind of many, they prefer to choose better colors that will work better with their existing decor.

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.

Whatever the reason for replacing the felt, consumers today have a wide selection of colors to pick from. Soft caramel colors are easier on the eyes, and are often easier to blend with other neutral color schemes within the space. For those that have bold colors in the room, a deep red is always eye-catching, but it can be tiring on 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.

As such, this skilled labor and top-quality materials come with a price. Some may charge more than others, so it is recommended to do some homework to save a few dollars. However, one should never compromise quality for the savings. What people should be looking for is value, and that means a proper installation with a good quality felt.

Most companies will provide a free estimate, coming to the consumer's home and inspecting the damages. Consumers will find that some specialists charge their customers with an hourly rate, and others simply work on a fixed rate. Most feel safer with the fixed rate, because they are spared any further expenses, should there be any trouble during the installation.
