Black Polypropylene Upholstery Webbing, 50mm & 70mm

The Black Polypropylene Upholstery Webbing is a strong, woven, non-stretch furniture webbing designed to provide firm support within upholstered furniture backs and arms.

Available in 50mm and 70mm widths, this synthetic upholstery webbing creates a stable foundation beneath foam, fibre and other upholstery padding. Its non-elasticated construction makes it particularly suitable for furniture sections where consistent support is required without the additional movement associated with stretch webbing.

Where Is Black Polypropylene Upholstery Webbing Used?

Sofa and Settee Backs

Non-stretch polypropylene webbing provides a firm supporting foundation beneath sofa back cushions and upholstery padding. Its stable construction helps maintain the shape and support of upholstered backrests.

Armchairs and Occasional Chairs

Suitable for upholstered chair backs where a relatively rigid foundation is required, polypropylene webbing offers an alternative to elasticated webbing when the furniture design does not call for additional flexibility.

Upholstered Furniture Arms

Polypropylene webbing is commonly used to support padding within upholstered furniture arms. Its non-stretch construction helps maintain the intended shape of the furniture while providing a supporting surface beneath foam or fibre.

Furniture Repairs and Restoration

Damaged, detached or deteriorated webbing can affect the support and appearance of upholstered furniture. Replacing worn webbing with a suitable non-stretch alternative can help restore the original supporting structure.

Always match the replacement material to the original furniture construction.

Choosing Between 50mm and 70mm Webbing

Both widths provide the same type of non-stretch support, but the appropriate choice depends on the furniture frame and original webbing arrangement.

The 50mm option is useful for narrower furniture sections or applications originally constructed using 50mm webbing.

The 70mm option provides a wider supporting strip and may be preferable where the original construction specifies broader webbing.

When repairing furniture, matching the existing width, spacing and fixing arrangement is generally preferable to changing the original design.

Polypropylene Webbing vs Elasticated Webbing

Unlike elasticated upholstery webbing, woven polypropylene is designed to provide support with minimal stretching.

This makes it suitable for furniture backs and arms requiring a relatively firm foundation.

For softer, more flexible backrest support, consider the 50mm Elasticated Back Webbing, 100% Stretch.

For firmer seat foundations requiring limited elasticity, the 50mm Elasticated Jumbo Seat Webbing, 10% Stretch offers a different support characteristic.

We also stock 50mm Blue Polypropylene Webbing as an alternative non-stretch option.

How to Fit Polypropylene Upholstery Webbing

Begin by removing damaged or worn webbing and inspecting the timber frame for loose joints, weakened fixing points or deterioration.

Secure one end of the webbing to the frame using suitable upholstery staples or tacks. Apply firm, controlled tension before attaching the opposite end securely.

For compatible 50mm webbing, a Beech Webbing Stretcher can assist with gripping and tensioning the material during fitting.

Where appropriate, interweave the strips to recreate the original supporting structure beneath the upholstery padding.
