Foam Replacement: The Essential Upgrade for Every Seat Refurbishment
At AeroVisto, we firmly believe that foam replacement should be integral to every seat refurbishment project. As experts in aircraft interior solutions, we always recommend this crucial step to our clients. But why is foam replacement so essential, and why is a seat refurbishment the perfect time to do it?
The Hidden Impact of Foam
When you enter a newly refurbished aircraft cabin, your eyes are immediately drawn to the sleek, fresh upholstery. However, the actual comfort of your seating experience lies beneath the surface. Underneath that beautiful new leather or fabric, the foam cushioning plays a pivotal role in passenger comfort and safety.
Over time, seat foams compress and degrade, losing their ability to provide adequate support and cushioning. This wear isn’t always visible from the outside, but it significantly impacts the comfort and longevity of your seats.
Comprehensive Foam Expertise: 16G and 9G Approvals
AeroVisto’s capabilities extend across the full spectrum of aircraft seating requirements. We hold the crucial 16G foam approval, allowing us to refurbish and modify these high-performance, safety-critical seats. This authorization is vital for working on Dynamically Certified Seats and Divans, ensuring we meet the most stringent safety standards in the industry. Simultaneously, we are fully equipped to change and certify 9G foams, covering various aircraft seating types. This dual capability provides an optimal mix for extensive refurbishment projects, allowing us to address diverse seating configurations within a single aircraft or fleet.
Perfect Timing for Maximum Efficiency
Seat refurbishment presents the ideal opportunity for foam replacement. Here’s why:
- Streamlined Process: When seats are already disassembled for reupholstering, replacing the foam requires minimal additional time and effort.
- Comprehensive Renewal: By updating both the upholstery and foam, you ensure a complete rejuvenation of your seating, inside and out.
- Cost-Effective: Combining foam replacement with reupholstery is more economical than treating these as separate projects.
- Consistent Quality: New foam ensures that the comfort and appearance of your seats match the quality of the new upholstery.
Take advantage of this opportunity to truly transform your aircraft’s interior. When planning your next seat refurbishment, remember that foam replacement isn’t just an option — it’s an essential step towards achieving the ultimate in-flight comfort and style.
