Polypropylene woven base cloth 100cm wide

Woven Polypropylene Upholstery Base Cloth, 100cm Wide

Woven Polypropylene Upholstery Base Cloth is a furniture lining fabric designed to finish the undersides of sofas, chairs and other upholstered furniture.

Commonly referred to as sofa bottom cloth, furniture dust-cover fabric or upholstery undercloth, it provides a tidy finish beneath furniture while concealing internal construction and helping reduce the entry of dust and loose debris.

Unlike conventional Dipryl or Corovin, which has a non-woven construction, this material is made from woven polypropylene. It is a practical alternative where a woven furniture base fabric is preferred.

Product Specifications

• Material: Woven polypropylene.
• Width: 100cm (approximately 39").
• Supply: Per metre or 100-metre roll.
• Fabric construction: Woven.
• Primary application: Furniture underside lining.
• Typical uses: Sofa bases, chair undersides, footstools and furniture restoration.

The woven construction provides a defined fabric structure for use on suitable furniture bases. However, the product should not be treated as load-bearing furniture webbing or a replacement for structural upholstery support.

For other lining materials, see Base Cloth & Corovin range.

Applications for Woven Furniture Base Cloth

Polypropylene furniture base cloth is commonly fitted beneath upholstered furniture as a final finishing layer.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa undersides: Concealing the internal frame, springs and webbing.
• Armchair bases: Providing a neat covering beneath the furniture.
• Footstools and ottomans: Finishing suitable upholstered underside sections.
• Dining-chair pads: Covering the undersides of upholstered seat units.
• Upholstered benches: Providing a small furniture base lining.
• Furniture restoration: Replacing torn, missing or deteriorated original dust-cover fabric.

The material is particularly useful where the furniture underside remains partly visible when the piece is moved or lifted.

A properly fitted base cloth also helps limit dust and debris entering the furniture, although it is not an airtight or waterproof barrier.

Woven Polypropylene or Black Corovin?

Both materials are used for finishing upholstered furniture, but their construction differs.

Woven polypropylene is formed from interlaced synthetic strands, creating a defined woven fabric structure.

Black Dipryl / Corovin is a bonded non-woven upholstery lining, available in 70gsm and 100gsm options with wider fabric choices.

The woven material may be preferred where the original furniture uses this construction or where a more defined fabric structure is required.

Corovin is a useful alternative where a lightweight non-woven lining or a wider fabric is more suitable.

For lightweight cushion interiors rather than furniture undersides, the White 50gsm Dipryl / Corovin provides a separate option.

Measuring, Cutting and Fitting

Measure the furniture underside before ordering, allowing sufficient material for turning around the frame and securing the edges.

The 100cm width suits many chairs, footstools and narrower furniture bases. Larger frames may require careful cutting, joining or selection of a wider lining fabric.

Cut the material using suitable Upholstery Shears & Snips and position it evenly across the underside.

Where the supporting frame is timber, appropriate Upholstery Staples can be used to secure the cloth.

Maintain sufficient tension for a tidy finish without pulling excessively against the woven material or creating distortion around corners.

Before fitting a new dust cover, inspect any accessible springs, webbing and furniture-frame components for signs of wear or damage.

Important Material Considerations

Woven polypropylene base cloth is intended for furniture lining and dust-cover applications. It should not be assumed to provide structural seat support, waterproofing or certified upholstery fire-barrier performance.

Where a specific fire-rated interliner is required, select an appropriately documented product from the Calico, Interliner & Cambric range.
