Explore our sewing threads and twines for machine sewing, hand stitching, buttoning, lacing and traditional upholstery work. The range includes bonded nylon sewing thread, polyester thread, specialist twines and other dependable workroom options.
For creating a clean, shaped edge around cushions and upholstered furniture, browse our selection of upholstery piping cords. Different materials and diameters are available for making decorative piping, cushion borders and furniture trims.
Our zipping supplies include the components needed to make removable cushion covers, furniture covers and other zipped upholstery items. Select the appropriate zip chain, sliders and related parts for your particular project.
Hook and Loop Tape, Tapes and Elastic
Use hook and loop tape to secure removable covers, cushions, panels and other upholstery components. Sew-on and adhesive-backed options provide practical fastening solutions for furniture, automotive trimming and general workroom use.
Our upholstery tapes and elastic category contains useful materials for securing, reinforcing and supporting different areas of an upholstery project. Check the individual product specifications carefully when choosing the correct width, stretch and construction.
Furniture Fixings, Brackets and Mechanisms
Browse upholstery fixings and brackets for furniture construction, repair and installation. This category includes T-nuts, D-nuts, headboard brackets, headboard struts, hinges, mechanisms and other commonly used furniture fixings.
Choosing the correct fitting is important for both secure installation and reliable long-term use. Check dimensions, fitting type and compatibility before ordering, particularly when replacing an existing furniture component.
Cardboard, Fibreboard and Furniture Shaping Materials
Our cardboard and fibreboard products are used throughout furniture manufacturing and traditional upholstery. They can be used for shaping arms, closing panels, supporting upholstered sections and creating a smooth foundation beneath fabric or padding.
For protecting furniture frames and producing smooth upholstered edges, explore our range of upholstery profiles and edge rolls. The selection includes different profile shapes and edge materials for furniture construction, restoration and repair work.
Tacking Strips and Valance Stiffeners
Create neat, secure and concealed fabric edges with our range of upholstery tacking strips. Tacking strips are commonly used on furniture backs, outside arms and other areas where a straight, professional fabric edge is required without visible fixings.
Our skirt and valance stiffeners help upholstery skirts and furniture valances retain their intended shape. These materials provide additional structure and can help produce a more consistent and professional finished appearance.
Upholstery Fire Labels
Browse our selection of upholstery fire labels for furniture manufacturing, reupholstery and repair applications. Different furniture and upholstery projects may require different labels, so it is important to select the correct product for the intended application and current requirements.
Product descriptions should be checked carefully before ordering. Where compliance is required, responsibility remains with the furniture manufacturer, upholsterer or person placing the finished item into service.
Protective Covers and Packaging
Protect completed furniture, cushions, mattresses and upholstered items during storage, handling or delivery with our protective covers and packaging.
Suitable packaging helps reduce the risk of dirt, dust, moisture and accidental surface damage after a project has been completed. Choose the cover or packaging size that provides sufficient protection without placing unnecessary pressure on the finished item.
Workroom Essentials for Furniture Making and Upholstery
A well-organised upholstery workroom depends on having the correct sundries available when they are needed. Running out of thread, adhesive, zip components or fixings halfway through a job wastes time and can delay an otherwise straightforward project.
Livedale’s upholstery workroom supplies category makes it easier to purchase related materials from one supplier. Whether you are producing new furniture, replacing cushion covers, restoring an older chair or completing a commercial upholstery project, the category provides a direct route to the everyday materials used throughout the trade.
Choosing the Correct Upholstery Supplies
Before ordering, check the measurements, material, colour, fitting method and intended use shown on the individual product page. Similar-looking workroom products may have different dimensions or performance characteristics and may not be interchangeable.
Particular care should be taken when selecting:
- Adhesives for different foams, fabrics and surfaces
- Sewing thread suitable for the machine, needle and material
- Piping cord of the correct diameter
- Zip chain and sliders designed to work together
- Fixings and brackets of the correct size
- Tacking strips suitable for the required edge
- Protective covers large enough for the finished item
Taking a few moments to confirm the specification can prevent wasted materials and save considerable time in the workroom.
