Hotel Furniture Refurbishment in Dubai: Reupholstery, Refinishing and Teak Restoration for Hotels and Restaurants

Adams Furniture refurbishes hotel and restaurant furniture in Dubai: reupholstery in contract fabrics, refinishing of timber casegoods and restoration of outdoor teak. Refurbishment keeps sound frames in service and refreshes the look of a property without a full FF&E replacement.

When refurbishment makes sense

• The frames and carcasses are structurally sound and only the fabric, foam or finish is worn.

• The pieces are bespoke to the property and would be costly to remake.

• The property is rebranding or refreshing its palette rather than changing its layout.

• Rooms or outlets need to stay in operation and cannot wait for a new production run.

Replacement is usually the better route when frames are loose or damaged, or when the design itself no longer suits the operation.

Reupholstery in contract fabrics

Commercial seating is recovered in fabrics rated for the use. Contract grade starts at around 40,000 Martindale rubs, and busy food and beverage venues often specify 60,000 or more, with BS 5852 Crib 5 fire performance where the project requires it. You can specify the fabric, nominate a mill, or ask us to propose options. See the contract upholstery fabrics guide and the Martindale rub count explainer.

Outdoor teak restoration

Pool and terrace furniture takes the most punishment in a UAE hotel. Grade A teak that has greyed or stained can be cleaned, sanded and refinished, and cushions can be remade in outdoor fabric. Our teak furniture restoration guide covers the process.

Working around occupancy

Refurbishment is planned from a furniture schedule and site survey. Pieces are collected in agreed batches, by floor or by outlet, worked on in our Al Quoz workshop and returned before the next batch leaves, so rooms and restaurants are not stripped all at once. A sample piece is completed first for approval.

Frequently asked questions

Do you refurbish furniture for hotels and restaurants in Dubai?

Yes. We reupholster seating, refinish timber furniture and restore outdoor teak for hotels, restaurants and cafes across Dubai and the UAE.

Is it cheaper to refurbish hotel furniture than to replace it?

It often is when the frames are sound, because you pay for fabric, foam, finishing and labour rather than a new piece. We quote both options from your furniture schedule so you can compare.

Can the work be phased so the hotel stays open?

Yes. Furniture is collected and returned in agreed batches, by floor or by outlet, so the property keeps operating during the programme.

Which fabrics do you use for commercial reupholstery?

Contract-grade fabrics with high Martindale ratings and, where required, BS 5852 Crib 5 fire performance. You can specify the fabric or ask us to propose options.

Do you restore outdoor teak furniture?

Yes. Teak loungers, tables and daybeds can be cleaned, sanded and refinished, with new cushions made in outdoor fabric.
