Recon flange roll (25mtr roll)

Recon Foam Upholstery Flange Edge Roll, 25 Metre Roll

Recon Foam Upholstery Flange Edge Roll is a firm furniture edging material designed to produce supportive, rounded borders on upholstered sofas, chairs and seat bases.

Manufactured from reconstituted foam, also known as recon foam, this upholstery edge roll offers a dense, resilient profile that provides structure beneath the finished furniture covering while retaining some cushioning.

The flanged construction allows the rounded foam section to be positioned along suitable furniture-frame edges, helping create a consistent outline before additional padding and upholstery fabric are fitted.

Particularly useful on sofa arms, chair facings and seat-base fronts, recon foam furniture edging provides an alternative to traditional paper rolls and rigid plastic profiles.

For other materials and profile shapes, see Upholstery Profiles & Edge Rolls.

Specifications

• Product: Recon Flange Roll.
• Material: Firm reconstituted foam.
• Profile: Rounded furniture edging with integral flange.
• Supply: Per metre or 25-metre roll.
• Primary applications: Sofa arms, chair facings, seat bases and furniture borders.
• Purpose: Creating a firm, cushioned upholstery edge beneath padding and fabric.
• Suitable users: Professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers and restoration workshops.

Reconstituted foam is manufactured by bonding pieces of foam together to form a dense, supportive material. Its firmness makes it useful for applications where ordinary soft cushioning foam may compress too readily.

The recon edge roll provides a shaped furniture border with greater cushioning than hard plastic or paper edging, while helping retain a consistent outline beneath the upholstery.

The actual finished profile will depend on the supporting frame, surrounding padding and upholstery covering.

Applications for Recon Upholstery Edge Roll

Recon flange roll is used in furniture manufacturing and traditional upholstery where a firm edge is required without creating an excessively rigid border.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa arm facings: Forming a supportive, rounded profile around upholstered arm fronts.
• Chair arms and backs: Creating consistent edges beneath furniture coverings.
• Seat-base fronts: Providing a firm padded border along suitable sofa and chair seat bases.
• Furniture restoration: Replacing worn, flattened or damaged original edging.
• Furniture manufacturing: Producing repeatable furniture-edge profiles across similar designs.

The firm recon foam can help blend angular furniture frames into adjoining upholstery, producing a smoother transition beneath the finished covering.

For additional padding and shaping,

When polyester wadding is applied to adjoining foam, suitable Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive helps secure the wrap, preventing movement and bunching during cover fitting.

Fitting and Finishing Recon Flange Roll

The recon edge roll should be positioned so the shaped foam section follows the intended furniture edge, with the flange providing an area for attachment to a suitable supporting frame.

Before fitting, confirm the required edge profile, available fixing area and compatibility with the furniture construction.

Where the flange is made for mechanical fixing, suitable Upholstery Staples may be used, taking care not to distort the rounded section.

For foam-bonding applications, see Upholstery Adhesives, ensuring the selected product is suitable for reconstituted foam and adjoining materials.

Accurate measuring and cutting help maintain a consistent finish, especially around shaped sofa arms or when joining lengths.

Once secured, the recon edge should blend smoothly into the surrounding padding, without raised joints or abrupt changes in profile that may show through the upholstery fabric.
