Poly edge flange 2mtr lengths (each)

Polyfoam Upholstery Edge Flange, 25mm x 35mm x 2m

Polyfoam Upholstery Edge Flange is a firm, preformed furniture edging profile used to create smooth, defined edges around upholstered sofa arms, chair facings and other furniture components.

Made from resilient closed-cell polyfoam, this upholstery edge profile measures 25mm across x 35mm high and is supplied in individual 2-metre lengths. Its firm construction helps maintain a consistent shape beneath fabric or vinyl, providing a professional finish without the rigidity of a hard plastic edge.

The straight profile is particularly useful in furniture manufacturing and restoration where a repeatable, accurately shaped border is required.

Specifications

• Product: Polyfoam Upholstery Edge Flange.
• SKU: PF0009.
• Material: Firm closed-cell polyfoam.
• Cross-section: 25mm across x 35mm high.
• Length: 2000mm (2 metres).
• Supply: Sold individually.
• Applications: Sofa arms, chair facings and suitable upholstered furniture edges.

The firm polyfoam material helps the finished edge retain its intended shape while providing some resilience beneath the upholstery covering.

Unlike conventional soft cushion foam, this preformed profile is intended primarily for shaping furniture edges rather than supplying general comfort padding.

The 35mm height creates a more pronounced section than a simple narrow rounded edge roll, making it suitable where the furniture design calls for a taller, clearly defined upholstered profile.

Applications for Polyfoam Furniture Edging

Polyfoam edge flange is used in furniture manufacturing and reupholstery to produce consistent shaped borders before the final covering is fitted.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa arm facings: Forming a neat, shaped edge around suitable arm fronts.
• Chair arms: Creating a consistent transition beneath fabric or vinyl.
• Upholstered panels: Providing a defined foam edge along suitable panel borders.
• Furniture restoration: Replacing worn, damaged or flattened original foam profiles.
• Production upholstery: Maintaining repeatable edge dimensions across furniture of the same design.

The closed-cell foam offers useful shape retention and a degree of flexibility, although the straight 2-metre profile should not be forced around tight curves without confirming that the required shape can be achieved.

Where additional padding is required, the edging can be blended into adjoining Upholstery Foam Sheets and Polyester Wadding.

When securing polyester wadding to foam, use suitable Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive to hold the wrap in position, helping prevent shifting and bunching during cover fitting.

Cutting, Fitting and Finishing

Before installation, check that the furniture frame and surrounding padding can accommodate the full 25mm width and 35mm height.

The profile can be measured and cut to the required length using appropriate foam-cutting equipment. Accurate preparation is particularly important when multiple lengths meet along a visible upholstered edge.

For suitable workshop tools, see Knives & Foam Cutters and Measuring & Marking Tools.

The edge flange should be positioned securely using a fitting method compatible with the foam and the furniture construction. Where adhesive bonding is appropriate, select a product suitable for the materials involved and follow its application instructions.

The Upholstery Adhesives & Aerosols range provides options for compatible foam-bonding applications.

Before fitting the final covering, ensure the profile is correctly positioned, joints meet neatly and the adjoining padding produces a smooth transition without visible ridges.

Alternative Upholstery Edge Profiles

stocks several foam, paper and plastic furniture edging products to suit different upholstery applications.

The CC1 50mm x 25mm Polyedge Strip is a firm D-shaped polyfoam profile supplied in 2-metre lengths. Its wider, shallower cross-section produces a different rounded furniture border.

The 3/4" Polyfoam Upholstery Edge Roll provides a smaller rounded closed-cell foam profile with a fixing flange, available by the metre or in 200-metre coils.

For a plastic alternative, the P-Shape Upholstery Edge Roll is available in several sizes.

The Recon Front Edge Profile provides another specialist option for furniture front-edge construction.

Selecting the correct product depends on the finished edge dimensions, required firmness, profile shape and available fixing area.
