Where Is 12lb Jute Upholstery Webbing Used?

Traditional Sprung Seats

Heavy-duty jute webbing is particularly suitable for creating the supporting foundation beneath traditional upholstery springs.

Individual strips are stretched across a timber furniture frame and secured using suitable upholstery tacks or staples. Where required, the strips are interwoven to produce a firm supporting base.

Appropriately selected Double Cone Upholstery Springs can then be attached to the completed webbing foundation.

Armchairs, Sofas and Settees

The heavier 12lb construction makes this webbing a useful choice for traditional upholstered furniture requiring a supporting foundation.

It can be used for restoring sprung armchair seats, sofa seats and suitable upholstered backs, depending on the original furniture construction.

Antique Furniture Restoration

Natural jute webbing has been used in upholstery for generations. Its traditional woven construction makes it particularly appropriate for restoring period furniture using original upholstery techniques.

Replacing deteriorated webbing helps rebuild the underlying support while retaining the traditional construction method.

10lb vs 12lb Jute Webbing, What's the Difference?

The 10lb grade is used for general traditional upholstery, including suitable chair seats and backs.

The heavier 12lb grade offers a more woven construction for applications requiring heavier webbing.

The 12lb designation is a traditional webbing weight classification, not a certified maximum load capacity or breaking-strength rating.

For lighter upholstery applications, see the 50mm Natural Jute Upholstery Webbing, 10lb.

Double Cone Springs and Spring Tying Twine

When constructing traditional sprung seating, the webbing forms the foundation beneath the individual coil springs.

After the Double Cone Upholstery Springs have been positioned and stitched securely to the webbing, they are lashed together using Laidcord Flax Spring Tying Twine.

Spring lashing controls the height, shape and alignment of the springs, helping them work together as a stable supporting structure.

The Curved Upholstery Needles are useful for suitable hand-stitching operations, including attaching upholstery materials and working around traditional furniture frames.

How to Fit 12lb Jute Upholstery Webbing

Remove the old webbing and inspect the timber furniture frame for damaged joints or weakened fixing points.

Secure one end of the webbing using suitable upholstery tacks or staples.

Apply firm, controlled tension using a Beech Webbing Stretcher or C. S. Osborne Spiked Webbing Stretcher before fastening the opposite end.

Repeat with additional strips, interweaving where required by the original construction.
