20mm N5 Nail Strip

20mm N5 Decorative Upholstery Nail Strip

The 20mm N5 Nail Strip is a practical alternative to fitting individual decorative upholstery nails across long, straight furniture edges.

Each strip measures 1 metre long and creates the appearance of a continuous line of individually fitted 20mm furniture studs while considerably reducing the number of loose nails that need to be installed.

The strip is fixed using individual N5 nails positioned every three nail heads, with 15 loose fixing nails required for each 1 metre strip.

For individual strips, order the matching Kabara 20mm N5 Upholstery Nails separately.

20mm Upholstery Nail Strip for Faster Furniture Studding

Traditional loose upholstery studding requires every decorative nail to be individually positioned and driven into the furniture frame.

Decorative nail strip provides a quicker alternative for longer and straighter sections.

The pre-formed furniture stud strip maintains the repeating 20mm decorative nail pattern while only requiring fixing nails at regular intervals.

This makes it particularly useful for:

• Sofa fronts and facings
• Armchairs
• Dining and occasional chairs
• Headboards
• Footstools and ottomans
• Upholstered panels
• Leather furniture
• Furniture restoration
• Reupholstery projects

The result is a clean, regular decorative furniture trim with considerably less individual nail fitting.

1 Metre Decorative Furniture Stud Strip

Each N5 upholstery nail strip is supplied in a 1 metre length.

The strip creates the visual effect of individually fitted 20mm decorative upholstery studs and is secured by driving a matching loose nail through the strip at regular intervals.

Fixing nails are positioned every three nail heads, with approximately 15 individual N5 nails required per 1 metre strip.

Customers purchasing individual strips should therefore also order the matching 20mm N5 Loose Upholstery Nails.

A bulk option of 100 strips with 1,500 fixing nails is also available, providing the correct quantity of nails for fitting the complete pack.

Choice of Decorative Nail Strip Finishes

The 20mm N5 furniture nail strip is available in:

Antique Black, Black & Gold, Black Nickel, Brass, Bronze Renaissance, Brown & Gold, Nickel and Pewter.

This gives upholsterers a broad choice of traditional and furniture finishes.

Brass, Bronze Renaissance and Brown & Gold work particularly well with classic furniture, leather upholstery and restoration work.

Black, Black Nickel, Nickel and Pewter provide alternative finishes for both traditional and more furniture.

Matching the nail strip finish with the upholstery fabric, leather, timber and other visible furniture hardware helps create a more coordinated finished piece.

Use Nail Strip for Straight Runs and Loose Nails for Curves

Decorative upholstery nail strip is particularly effective on longer, relatively straight furniture edges.

For curved areas, corners or irregular furniture profiles, loose upholstery nails provide greater flexibility because each stud can be positioned independently.

A professional furniture-studding job may therefore use both products:

• Nail strip along long straight edges
• Loose nails around corners
• Individual studs around curves
• Loose nails for short finishing sections
• Individual nails to secure the nail strip itself

The matching Kabara 20mm N5 Upholstery Nails are designed to complement the N5 strip and are available in corresponding decorative finishes.

Decorative Nail Strip for Upholstery and Furniture Restoration

Nail strip is particularly useful in furniture restoration where an existing studded border needs to be replaced efficiently while maintaining consistent spacing.

It can also be used on new furniture where decorative studding forms part of the intended design.

Typical materials and applications include:

• Upholstery fabric
• Leather
• Faux leather
• Vinyl
• Traditional upholstered furniture
• furniture
• Headboards and bed frames
• Decorative furniture panels

For smaller decorative furniture trim, see the Upholstery Nail Strips range, which includes 9.5mm and 16mm alternatives.

Fitting 20mm N5 Nail Strip

Before fitting, mark the intended trim line and check that the strip sits correctly along the furniture edge.

Position the nail strip and secure it using matching loose N5 nails at the designated fixing points, approximately every three decorative nail heads.

Use 15 individual nails per 1 metre strip.

For individual strips, these fixing nails are not included and should be purchased separately as Kabara 20mm N5 Upholstery Nails.

A Kabara Nylon Tip Hammer is useful when fitting decorative furniture nails because its softer striking surface helps reduce the risk of marking the visible nail head.

Take care to keep the nail strip correctly aligned throughout installation, particularly across longer visible furniture edges.

Alternative Upholstery Nail Strip Sizes

Where a finer decorative stud line is preferred, the 9.5mm N1 Nail Strip provides a significantly smaller furniture trim.

The Heico 16mm Bronze Renaissance Nail Strip provides a useful intermediate size with a traditional bronze-style finish.

For additional loose nails and matching decorative furniture studs, see the Decorative Nails & Nail Strip collection.
