Aircraft upholstery is a specialised field that plays a vital role in the comfort, aesthetics, and functionality of an aircraft’s interior.
At AAA Trimming, we understand the importance of high-quality craftsmanship in creating upholstery solutions that meet industry standards and enhance passenger experience.
What Does Aircraft Upholstery Include?
Aircraft upholstery covers a wide range of interior components, all tailored to enhance the look and feel of the aircraft while adhering to safety regulations.
These include:
- Seats and Cushions
Seats are a primary focus of aircraft upholstery, requiring durability, comfort, and style. This includes everything from the foam padding to the covers that ensure ergonomic support and long-lasting use. - Sidewalls and Headliners
Upholstered sidewalls and headliners add a touch of sophistication to the cabin. These areas require flame-resistant materials that are lightweight and easy to clean. - Carpets and Floor Coverings
Carpeting in an aircraft is specially designed to withstand high foot traffic, minimise noise, and meet stringent fire safety standards. - Armrests and Panels
Upholstered armrests and panels provide passengers with comfort and style. These areas are often subjected to heavy use and require materials that resist wear and tear. - Cockpit Interiors
The cockpit demands durable, functional, and ergonomic upholstery to support pilots during long flights. - Custom Embellishments
Aircraft interiors often include customised embroidery, logos, or decorative stitching that reflect the brand’s identity or personal preferences.
Best Materials for Aircraft Upholstery
Aircraft interiors are subjected to unique challenges, including high-altitude conditions, frequent use, and strict safety regulations.
Selecting the right materials is crucial for balancing comfort, durability, and compliance.
- Leather and Faux Leather
Leather is a popular choice for aircraft seats due to its premium look, durability, and ease of maintenance. Faux leather is a great alternative, offering a similar aesthetic with improved resistance to scratches and stains. - Synthetic Fabrics
High-performance synthetic fabrics, such as polyester blends, are lightweight, flame-retardant, and available in a variety of colours and patterns. These materials are ideal for areas like sidewalls and headliners. - Memory Foam and High-Density Foam
For seat cushions, memory foam or high-density polyurethane foam provides excellent support and comfort, ensuring a better passenger experience. - Vinyl
Vinyl is commonly used for armrests and panels due to its durability, resistance to liquids, and easy cleaning properties. - Carpet Materials
Aircraft carpets are made from high-grade wool or nylon blends, designed to be both lightweight and flame-resistant.
