Wigan Little Theatre
Refurbish 230 Sitting positions due to worn seating and complaints about comfort.
The Wigan Little Theatre employed Northern Seating to completely refurbish their 25 Year old chairs in both the Stalls area and the Balcony area.
We removed all the existing seats and metalwork leaving the floor free to re-carpet whilst we worked on the upholstered and polished components.
One problem here was the components used in the original manufacture were no longer off the shelf, we had to source bespoke parts in quite a short space of time.
We stripped all upholstery to the bare timber, re-foamed with profiled combustion modified cushions, re upholstered with a Sunbury Fabric using an inter liner between the foam and the top fabric.
We were given a month to complete this and achieved this with time to spare and within budget.
Peter Hall – Treasurer, Wigan Little Theatre and the staff were delighted with the finished look and superior comfort we had achieved.
We hope that the new upholstery will last even longer than the original.
