Browse Cardboard & Fibreboard for materials used on furniture arms, backs, panels and templates.

Useful options include:

• 1.2mm Cardboard Sheets
• 1.5mm Fibreboard Sheets

Both materials are suitable for a range of profiled and shaped furniture applications.

Select the panel material according to the required stiffness, finished profile and furniture construction.

Accurate Alignment for Arm Facing Fixings

Correct positioning is important when using concealed furniture dowels.

Check:

• Dowel diameter
• Dowel length
• Hole diameter
• Hole depth
• Panel thickness
• Panel alignment
• Number of dowels required
• Edge clearance
• Required fit

The mating holes should be accurately positioned and drilled squarely so the arm-facing panel locates correctly against the furniture.

Polyester Wadding for Upholstered Arm Facings

Polyester Wadding can be used on suitable upholstered arm facings and furniture panels to soften edges and create a smoother surface beneath the final covering.

Wadding should be secured to compatible foam using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive.

The adhesive helps keep the wadding positioned, reduces shifting and bunching during cover fitting and helps achieve a smooth, consistent upholstered finish.

Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive for Furniture Panels
