Applications for OKE P-Shape Upholstery Edging

OKE P-shape furniture edge roll is used to establish a consistent border beneath upholstery coverings.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa arm facings: Producing neat, rounded front edges on upholstered arms.
• Chair arm fronts: Providing a consistent profile around suitable chair frames.
• Furniture borders: Creating controlled rounded edges along straight or gently curved sections.
• Upholstered panels: Establishing a defined profile beneath fabric or vinyl coverings.
• Furniture restoration: Replacing worn, damaged or missing original plastic edging.
• Production upholstery: Maintaining consistent edge dimensions across repeated furniture designs.

The plastic profile provides a firmer, more defined edge than soft cushioning foam, helping maintain the intended furniture outline beneath the covering.

For additional shaping and comfort,

Where polyester wadding is applied to foam, use suitable Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive to secure the wrap, helping prevent movement and bunching during cover fitting.

Fitting and Finishing Plastic Edge Roll

The rounded section of the OKE P-shape profile forms the finished furniture edge, while the adjoining flange provides an attachment area against the frame.

Depending on the furniture construction, the flange can be secured using suitable upholstery fasteners. Care should be taken to avoid distorting the profile or creating raised fixing points beneath the upholstery.

For fitting materials, see Upholstery Staples and Pneumatic Staple Guns & Tackers.

Accurate measurement is important, particularly when working around shaped furniture arms. The Measuring & Marking Tools and Shears & Snips provide useful workshop options.

Before fitting the final covering, check that the edge roll follows the intended line smoothly without twisting, uneven joins or gaps.
