FAQs

What types of press cover materials do you supply?

We supply a wide range of press cover materials including fluorglass (non-stick, high-temperature resistant), polyester (durable, general-purpose), nomex/aramid (extreme heat resistance for industrial pressing), nylon, and stretch fabrics. We also carry ready-made covers such as Dekcover 100% polyester covers pre-sized for common press models. Materials are available by the metre for custom cutting or as pre-cut pieces for standard equipment.

Can you help me select the right cover for my press?

Yes. Share your press make, model, and the type of garments or linens you process, and our team will recommend the appropriate cover material and thickness. Different applications require different materials — for example, fluorglass is best for high-temperature steam pressing, while polyester suits general-purpose use. We can also cut covers to your specific press dimensions if a ready-made option is not available for your model.

Are press covers and pads available locally in South Africa?

Yes. Unicorp stocks common press cover fabrics, padding materials, felt, and accessories from Unica, Cleaner’s Supply, and Trecolan Handel in South Africa. Popular items such as polyester and fluorglass cover fabrics, pressing felt, and roller ironer consumables are available for fast dispatch across the country and wider Southern Africa region.

How often should press covers and pads be replaced?

Replacement frequency depends on your daily usage volume and pressing temperatures. As a general guideline, covers on heavily used commercial presses should be inspected monthly and typically replaced every 3–6 months. Pads may last 6–12 months depending on thickness and use intensity. Signs that replacement is needed include visible wear, thinning, glazing, scorch marks, or uneven pressing results. Regular replacement maintains consistent finishing quality and protects your garments.

Do your covers and pads fit all press brands and models?

We supply covers and pads compatible with virtually every commercial press brand used in Southern Africa, including VEIT, Reverberi, Barbanti, Forenta, Unipress, Hoffman, and others. Ready-made covers and pads are available for the most common models. For less common or older press models, we can supply cover fabric and padding material by the metre for custom cutting to your exact press dimensions. Contact us with your press details for a compatibility check.
