Aircraft Fabric Covering

Aircraft Fabric Covering & Repair

Maple West Aero offers certified aircraft fabric covering and repair services for light aircraft. Services range from localized repairs and patches to full flight-control recoveries and complete airframe covering projects.

We work with all major approved fabric systems, including Poly-Fiber, Ceconite, Stewart Systems, and Oratex, and our shop is fully equipped to handle fabric work of any size.

All work is performed and released by a licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, in accordance with applicable regulations and manufacturer-approved processes.

Quality & Longevity

A full fabric covering is not a cosmetic job — it is a structural preservation process. When completed properly, a fabric restoration should provide 20+ years of service, and with appropriate care, often considerably longer.

Each project is evaluated individually to ensure the correct scope, materials, and processes are applied for long-term durability and airworthiness.

Scope & Pricing

Proper fabric work is highly labour-intensive when done correctly. As a general reference:

• Flight control recoveries (remove, strip, surface preparation, priming, covering, finishing, and reinstallation)
  Start at $5,000, including standard materials
  (plus applicable tax, shipping, and any additional repairs discovered during disassembly)

Complete airframe recoveries are significantly more, depending on aircraft type, condition, fabric system selected, and the extent of structural preparation required.
