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.

Being a piece of furniture, it should be treated as such. Therefore, the piece should blend in as best as possible with the rest of the furnishings in the space. Most of these are generally covered in turf green felt, but there are many other options these days, and consumers are taking advantage of them.

A change in the felt may also follow damage to it which may have occurred as a result of taking a bad shot. This is a very common occurrence in the game of billiards or snooker, where the cue scrapes and tears the felt. It's unfortunate, but it does happen, and if it does, it requires immediate replacement. If not, the surface cannot be played on.

No matter what the reason is for having to replace the felt, consumers should know that they have choice with regards to felt colors. For instance, a very popular color is camel because, being a neutral color, it works with almost any color scheme, and even more so with other neutrals. Red is another popular color among those that prefer bold colors.

Another bold and popular choice is blue, but consumers can also stick with their traditional turf green color. Whatever the case, a felt replacement is the job of a professional. It simply must be perfect so as it does not interfere with the playing surface, and the direction to which the balls are aimed.

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.

The best thing to do is call the company for an estimate. Generally, someone will come on-site to inspect the table, although an estimate can be provided over the telephone, and depending on the company. Moreover, consumers will find that some companies charge hourly rates, whereas others provide a fixed rate estimate. Choose whichever one feels more comfortable, as if there are any troubles during the installation, it could increase the overall cost dramatically.
