Finding A Firm For Pool Table Refelting Denver

By David Russell


Pool is a very popular game and is played in many bars and homes around the world. Over time, the playing surface or cloth on tables will be subjected rips, burns and normal wear and tear. When the covering is too badly damaged you will need to look for a company to carry out pool table refelting Denver and there some important things to consider beforehand.

You will find the contact details for a firm in the local telephone directory and you may see them advertising around the neighborhood. Browsing the internet produces good results and there are many companies to be found online. Make a note of the measurements of your cloth before you call anyone so that they can give you the correct price.

The technicians that carry out maintenance of tables and felt fitters are experienced professionals and skilled in their craft. There are businesses in Denver CO, that will send a qualified technician to recover tables. The price you are charged will depend on the grade of covering, time taken to fit it and it is a good idea to get as many quotes as possible to compare prices.

After finding a company to do the job, one of their technicians will come out and asses the work. In some cases there may be other problems that need rectifying before a new felt can be attached. If there are any problems, the technician will advise you of them, and explain what they are going to do to solve them.

The first job to be done is removing the old cloth in the correct way. The six pockets will then need to be removed and inspected for damage followed by the side rails. The slate bed will then be checked and made ready for the new felt to be fitted. These slate beds need to be cleaned properly, leveled and any chips or gaps should be filled with a specialist wax resin or putty.

You can choose from a couple of felts which are either a professional grade, or a standard club cloth, which will last longer. The felt will be trimmed to size it will be stretched across the slate bed to get a nice even finish. When the adhesive has set, the underneath can be pinned to the frame, and pocket areas checked and prepared. Side rails are then recovered with the brand new felt before being refitted and lined up.

When your new felt is fitted, everything is checked to make sure it is level and the ball markers can be applied. Leveling tools and wedges can be used to ensure pool tables run true and do not suffer from roll off. Leveling cradles can be brought which a table sits on and it can be quickly leveled and moved.

Pool tables that are played on regularly should be well maintained, cleaned and kept in good condition. The cloth can be brushed daily to get rid of chalk used by the players and other pieces of tiny debris should be removed. If you notice a tear or other problem with the felt then you should not play and get the problem rectified.
