By Lisa Williamson


Anyone who enjoys the game of billiards knows that it's a great pastime, and would love to be the proud owner of such a table. Unfortunately, not everyone lives in a home that's a sizable enough to carry its dimensions accordingly. Those who do, should certainly feel blessed because they get to entertain friends and have a great time while playing a challenging game. At some point however, the felt may be showing its age, for one reason or another. Below, discover pool table refelting with interior design in mind, for those living in the Denver, CO area.

No matter how it is looked at, this is a piece of furniture. Some may be impressively designed with elaborate ornamentation, while others may have straight lines. Very often, and especially in the past, its surface is covered with green felt. Today, with interior design on the mind of many, they prefer to choose better colors that will work better with their existing decor.

A change in the felt may also follow damage to it which may have occurred as a result of taking a bad shot. This is a very common occurrence in the game of billiards or snooker, where the cue scrapes and tears the felt. It's unfortunate, but it does happen, and if it does, it requires immediate replacement. If not, the surface cannot be played on.

Whether it's for interior design purposes, wear and tear, or an unfortunate accident, consumers have lots of choices today with regards to felt colors. Many opt for camel, because it's a soft color, considered neutral, and therefore blends well with other neutral colors and beyond. Some may prefer the deep red to blend in with their bolder design scheme. While very attractive, and striking, it can tire the eyes.

Another bold and popular choice is blue, but consumers can also stick with their traditional turf green color. Whatever the case, a felt replacement is the job of a professional. It simply must be perfect so as it does not interfere with the playing surface, and the direction to which the balls are aimed.

A specialist would come on the site, remove the existing felt, and replace it with a new one, according to the consumer's color choice. Obviously, this should not be left to just anyone to do, as it requires top-notch skills for top-notch results. There is a lot of work involved in replacing the felt, as the table and often the bumpers, will have to be somewhat dismantled.

In other words, there is a cost involved in all the labor and the top quality material that is going to be used in the replacement. As in any other industry, some companies simply charge more than others. Therefore, it is in the consumer's best interest to shop around, for the best value.

Most companies will provide a free estimate, coming to the consumer's home and inspecting the damages. Consumers will find that some specialists charge their customers with an hourly rate, and others simply work on a fixed rate. Most feel safer with the fixed rate, because they are spared any further expenses, should there be any trouble during the installation.
