Here at Carolina Pool Tables Plus, we offer only the best in pool tables to give you the best possible experience with the game. However, no matter how high the quality, there will eventually come a time when you need to replace the felt covering of your table. To help you know when your table has reached that point, in this article, we’ll be going over a few ways to figure out whether pool table re-covers have become necessary.

When are Pool Table Re-Covers Necessary?

  • Felt is Damaged- One situation in which pool table re-covers are definitely necessary is when the felt has become torn, damaged, or just worn out. You need a smooth, even surface on which to play your game, so if the felt has become loose or uneven, it’s time to look at your options for replacing it. Our team at Carolina Pool Tables Plus is here to help you restore your table to its perfect, play-ready state so that you can get back to enjoying your game.
  • Felt is Old- Even if your felt is not visibly torn yet, it’s still a good idea to replace it if it’s more than 15 years old, as 15 years is the upper limit for how long the felt is designed to last. After that point, a pool table re-cover is definitely necessary, and is likely to become inevitable due to the fibers becoming weaker and more prone to damage.
  • Felt is Faded- Lastly, we at Carolina Pool Tables Plus encourage you to look into your options for pool table re-covers if your felt has become faded, or even if you simply no longer like the color. While classic pool hall green may still hold a nostalgic appeal, with the greater variety of options available today you may find that it no longer works with the rest of your decor. Our team wants to help you make your pool table the best it can be, and we are happy to replace felt with a color that’s more to your tastes.
