Elastic chair covers and non-elastic chair covers are two common types of banquet chair covers, and there are obvious differences in many aspects. They differ in material. Elastic chair covers are usually made from highly elastic materials such as spandex and polyester blends. The material is extremely stretchable and easily adapts to a variety of chair shapes and sizes, ensuring a snug fit and beautiful finish. Non-elastic chair covers, on the other hand, mainly use non-elastic fabrics such as cotton, polyester or satin. These materials are not stretchable and need to be customized to the size and shape of the specific chair, so their range of applications is relatively narrow.
In terms of applicability, elastic chair covers have a wider range of applications. Due to its high elasticity, it can adapt to a variety of different shapes and sizes of chairs, making it more flexible. This makes elastic chair covers ideal for situations where you’re not sure about the size of your chair or when you need to set it up quickly. In contrast, non-elastic chair covers need to be customized according to the size and shape of the specific chair, and their application range is relatively narrow, and they are more suitable for occasions where the chair size is known.
The ease of installation is also one of the important differences between the two. Installation of elastic chair covers is very simple, just stretch the cover over the chair, no additional fixings are required. This makes it quicker and easier to fit a large number of chairs with covers in a short period of time. In comparison, non-elastic chair covers may require more steps such as straps, zippers or fasteners such as buttons, requiring more time and effort, especially when handling large quantities of chairs.
In addition, the appearance of the two chair covers is also different. Due to the properties of its highly elastic material, elastic chair covers closely conform to the contours of the chair, giving it a smooth and neat look. This effect can add a modern and simple aesthetic to the event venue. The appearance of non-elastic chair covers depends on their design and installation methods, which can present a more elegant and formal effect, and are more suitable for some high-end and specific occasions.
