Black Needle Punch Fabric 100grm 140cm width

Black 100gsm Needle Punch Upholstery Fabric, 140cm Wide

Black 100gsm Needle Punch Fabric is a lightweight, non-woven upholstery lining suitable for cushion backing panels, caravan seating, furniture dust covers and concealed upholstery sections.

Also known as Fibretex, this material is produced using a needle-punching process that mechanically entangles fibres to form a flexible fabric without conventional weaving or knitting.

The result is a practical non-fraying upholstery lining with good resistance to tearing and abrasion. Its lightweight construction makes it particularly useful for applications where a heavier fabric is unnecessary.

Measuring 140cm wide, this black needle-punch material is available by the metre or in complete 100-metre rolls.

This is the lightest of the four fabrics in Status Fabrics' Needle Punch Upholstery Fabric range.

Lightweight Cushion Backing Fabric

One of the principal uses for 100gsm needle punch is as a backing material for removable upholstery cushions.

A dedicated non-woven cushion backing fabric provides a practical alternative to using expensive decorative upholstery cloth on concealed panels.

It is particularly useful for sofa seat cushions, loose chair cushions, bench seating and replacement cushion covers.

The non-fraying construction makes cutting shaped panels straightforward, including cushions with tapered edges or irregular profiles.

For replacement interiors,

Polyester wadding should be secured to foam with suitable Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive to help prevent movement and bunching during cushion cover fitting.

Caravan and Campervan Cushion Bases

Black 100gsm Fibretex is especially popular for the underside panels of caravan cushions and suitable campervan seating.

These cushions often require a flexible, hard-wearing reverse fabric rather than decorative upholstery material on every surface.

The 140cm width is convenient for cutting a variety of seating shapes, while the black finish provides a small appearance beneath the cushions.

Typical applications include caravan dinette seating, motorhome backrests, campervan bench cushions and removable sleeping-area cushions.

Where additional grip is required, consider 60cm Anti-Slip Upholstery Cloth. Standard needle punch should not be assumed to prevent cushion movement.

Furniture Dust Covers and Internal Linings

This lightweight needle-punched upholstery felt is also suitable for concealed furniture areas, including:

• Sofa and armchair undersides
• Furniture back panels
• Dust covers and internal linings
• Reverse fabric for upholstery components
• Suitable spring covering applications
• Furniture pull strips and concealed finishing sections

The fabric can be cut and fitted around furniture frames without the loose edges commonly associated with some woven materials.

For suitable timber-frame applications, secure the lining using compatible Upholstery Staples.

Where a seating platform incorporates springs or webbing, ensure the supporting structure and padding are appropriate before fitting the finishing fabric.

Choosing 100gsm or 120gsm Needle Punch

Selecting the correct needle-punch weight is important when replacing upholstery lining.

This black 100gsm fabric is the lighter option, suited to cushion backs, dust covers and general-purpose concealed furniture panels.

The Black 120gsm Needle Punch Fabric offers a heavier alternative at 139cm wide.

also supplies Brown 120gsm Needle Punch Fabric and Mushroom 110gsm Needle Punch Fabric for different weight, width and colour requirements.

Choose according to the intended application and original upholstery construction rather than assuming the heavier fabric is always necessary.

Cutting, Sewing and Fitting

Measure the required panels carefully, allowing sufficient material for seams, fixing and trimming.

For sewn cushion backs, select suitable Upholstery Sewing Threads and test the stitching on a sample before production.

For fixed furniture linings, use suitable staples and maintain even tension without pulling excessively on the fabric.

Fire Performance and Ordering

These claims do not establish that the fabric is a Schedule 3 Crib 5 barrier. Finished furniture must satisfy the fire safety requirements applicable to its complete construction.
