Paper flange roll

Paper Flange Upholstery Edge Roll, 19mm & 25mm

Paper Flange Upholstery Edge Roll is a traditional furniture edging profile designed to produce firm, consistent rounded edges on upholstered sofas, chairs and other suitable furniture components.

Manufactured from a firm paper roll covered in Corovin, this upholstery edging incorporates a fixing flange that allows the profile to be positioned along a suitable furniture frame before the final padding and upholstery fabric are applied.

The rounded paper construction provides a structured foundation for sofa arms, chair backs, seat-base fronts and furniture facings. The Corovin covering helps contain the paper roll and provides a practical surface for handling and positioning during upholstery work.

Available in 19mm and 25mm sizes,

The 19mm paper flange roll provides a compact rounded profile for furniture designs requiring a relatively small finished edge.

The 25mm version creates a fuller, more pronounced border, suitable where a larger rounded profile is required.

Both sizes provide the structured firmness associated with traditional paper upholstery edging. Unlike soft cushioning foam, the paper construction is intended primarily for shaping rather than providing comfort padding.

Applications in Traditional Upholstery

Paper flange roll is widely used in furniture manufacturing and restoration where a firm, rounded foundation is required beneath the finished upholstery.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa arm facings: Producing a consistent rounded edge around suitable upholstered arm fronts.
• Chair backs: Forming a firm edge around upholstered back sections.
• Seat-base fronts: Providing a defined border along suitable sofa and chair seat bases.
• Furniture frame edges: Softening angular frame outlines before padding and covering.
• Traditional upholstery restoration: Replacing damaged, flattened or missing original edge rolls.

The fixing flange makes this product particularly practical where the edge roll needs to be secured directly to a suitable frame surface.

For additional padding and shaping,

When applying polyester wadding to foam, suitable Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive helps secure the wrap, preventing movement and bunching during cover fitting for a smoother, more consistent upholstery finish.

Fitting Paper Flange Edge Roll

The rounded section of the paper flange roll establishes the finished edge shape, while the adjoining flange provides an area for attachment to the furniture frame.

For suitable timber-frame applications, the flange may be secured using compatible upholstery staples, taking care not to crush or distort the paper profile.

Before covering, check that the roll follows the intended frame line smoothly, particularly around curved sofa arms or shaped chair backs.

As this is a paper-based product, it is intended for dry indoor furniture applications and should not be exposed to unnecessary moisture.

Paper Flange Roll or Alternative Upholstery Edging?

The Firm Paper Stitch Edge Roll is another traditional paper upholstery edging material, available in 19mm and 25mm sizes.

For a more resilient foam-based profile, consider the 3/4" Polyfoam Upholstery Edge Roll. It has a firm closed-cell foam section and fixing flange.

The Plastic P-Shape Edge Roll offers a plastic alternative in 9mm, 13mm and 20mm sizes.

For furniture requiring a firmer reconstituted-foam edging material, see Recon Flange Roll.

The correct upholstery edge profile depends on the furniture construction, desired firmness, finished shape and method of attachment.
