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.

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.

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.

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.

A specialist would come on the site, remove the existing felt, and replace it with a new one, according to the consumer's color choice. Obviously, this should not be left to just anyone to do, as it requires top-notch skills for top-notch results. There is a lot of work involved in replacing the felt, as the table and often the bumpers, will have to be somewhat dismantled.

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.
