Commercial vs. Residential Upholstery: What's the Difference?

At Grahn's, we handle both commercial and residential upholstery. While the craftsmanship is the same, the requirements differ significantly: **Durability standards.** Commercial upholstery must withstand far heavier use — think restaurant booths used by hundreds of people weekly vs. a family sofa. We use commercial-grade materials rated for high-traffic environments. **Fire codes and regulations.** Commercial furniture often needs to meet specific fire-retardancy codes. We ensure all materials comply with local regulations. **Timeline and scale.** Commercial projects often involve multiple identical pieces on tight timelines. We have the capacity and organization to deliver large orders on schedule. **Design considerations.** Residential work is deeply personal — matching a client's unique style and home. Commercial work balances branding, durability, and guest comfort. **Why choose Grahn's?** With over 50 years of experience in both sectors, we understand the nuances of each and deliver exceptional results regardless of scale.
