Where Is Genuine Beige Pirelli Webbing Used?

Ercol Chair and Sofa Restoration

Pirelli rubber webbing is particularly well known for its use in traditional Ercol furniture.

Many classic Ercol chairs, settees and sofas incorporate rubber support straps secured to the wooden frame using clips, hooks or other original fixing arrangements.

Replacing deteriorated webbing with genuine first-quality Pirelli material helps retain the furniture's original construction and intended support characteristics.

Always check the original strap width and attachment system before ordering replacements.

Upholstered Sofa and Armchair Seats

Rubber upholstery webbing creates a flexible foundation beneath upholstered seat cushions.

When correctly tensioned, the individual straps support the seating while allowing controlled movement under pressure.

Replacing worn or overstretched rubber webbing can help restore the comfort of upholstered chairs and sofas.

Chair Backs and Furniture Repairs

Genuine Pirelli webbing is also suitable for compatible upholstered chair backs and other furniture requiring flexible support.

The correct strap spacing, tension and fixing arrangement will depend on the original furniture design.

Choosing Between 1 1/2" and 2" Pirelli Webbing

Both widths are available in the traditional beige finish.

The 1 1/2" (38mm) option is suitable for furniture originally constructed using narrower rubber webbing.

The 2" (50mm) option provides a wider supporting strap and is commonly associated with upholstered seating and traditional furniture restoration.

When replacing existing webbing, match the original width rather than assuming a wider strap will provide a better result.

Genuine Pirelli vs Alternative Rubber Webbing

Genuine Pirelli is the original-quality material associated with traditional rubber-webbed upholstered furniture.

For restorers working on Ercol furniture, retaining the original type of webbing may be particularly important.

also offers Genuine Pirelli Black Rubber Webbing and Atlas Reinforced Rubber Webbing as alternative options.

Atlas provides a reinforced rubber webbing alternative, while genuine beige Pirelli remains an appropriate choice where the original material and appearance are preferred.

Choosing the Correct Webbing Clips

Rubber webbing may be secured using metal end clips, hooks, rivets, dowels or suitable staples and tacks, depending on the furniture construction.

We also stock Hook Style Webbing Clips for furniture requiring a hook-type fixing arrangement.

Check the original fittings carefully. In particular, do not assume that 2" clips will fit the narrower 1 1/2" webbing or that different clip systems are interchangeable.

How to Measure and Replace Pirelli Webbing

Before removing the original straps, photograph the fixing arrangement and measure the distance between the attachment points.

Remember that old rubber webbing may have permanently stretched, making its existing length an unreliable guide for cutting new material.

Select the appropriate width, allow for the chosen end fittings and apply the tension required by the original furniture construction.

After fitting the first strap, check its security and support before replacing the remaining webbing.
