Understanding Airplane Upholstery: Insights from AAA Trimming

As the owner of AAA Trimming, I’ve spent years perfecting the art of airplane upholstery, crafting interiors that balance comfort, durability, and style.

Whether it’s a commercial aircraft or a private plane, upholstery work involves meticulous attention to detail to ensure every component meets aviation standards while reflecting the owner’s unique preferences.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s included in airplane upholstery and why choosing a professional service like ours makes all the difference.

1. Seat Retrimming

The heart of any airplane interior is its seating.

Retrimming seats involves replacing worn-out fabrics or leather with premium materials designed for both comfort and durability.

At AAA Trimming, we use only high-quality leather and fabrics that can withstand the rigours of frequent use while maintaining a polished look.

This includes adding precise stitching and ergonomic padding for long-lasting comfort.

2. Carpets and Flooring

Carpets in an aircraft not only add to the aesthetics but also play a role in noise dampening.

We replace or repair flooring using aviation-approved materials that meet safety and fire resistance standards.

Custom-fit carpeting ensures a seamless installation, giving the cabin a clean and professional finish.

3. Side Panels and Door Trims

Side panels and door trims are essential for creating a cohesive cabin look.

We refurbish these elements using durable materials that resist wear and tear. This includes replacing linings or adding padding for better insulation and soundproofing.

4. Cockpit Covers

Beyond passenger areas, we also specialise in cockpit covers. These are tailored to protect sensitive controls and instruments from dust, UV damage, and wear.

Using high-performance fabrics like Sunbrella acrylic canvas, we ensure protection while allowing ventilation to prevent mildew.

5. Roof Linings

Roof linings in aircraft often require periodic maintenance or replacement due to exposure to temperature fluctuations and vibrations.

We use lightweight, durable materials that maintain the cabin’s insulation and aesthetic appeal.
