FAQs

Can I use these strips on outdoor furniture?

These strips are intended for indoor home and garden projects and are not rated for prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements.

Are the strips magnetic?

The strips are made of metal, but they are designed specifically for upholstery fastening, not for magnetic display boards.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a light upholstery hammer, a pair of metal snips for cutting the strips, and protective safety gear.

How do I clean the strips if they get dusty?

Use a dry cloth only. Never use wet cloths or chemical cleaners as they can damage the finish.

Can I use these on plastic surfaces?

The strips are designed for wooden furniture frames where the nails can securely penetrate the material.

How many nails come in the package?

The kit includes 85 matched loose nails to be used in conjunction with the 5 meters of tack strips.

Troubleshooting

Nail head appears loose after installation

Use one of the provided loose nails to reinforce the area adjacent to the loose head.

Strip is difficult to bend around a tight corner

Ensure you have cut the strip at a joint to create smaller, more manageable segments for sharp angles.

Surface finish appears smudged or dull

Gently buff the surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth; avoid all liquid cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to individual upholstery tacks
  • Consistent, professional spacing provides a uniform look
  • Easy to cut to length for precise project fitting
  • Includes essential loose nails for securing corners and ends
  • Classic bronze finish complements a wide variety of decor styles

Cons

  • Not suitable for use with wet cleaning or chemical agents
  • Requires careful handling to prevent scratching the metallic coating
  • Metallic finish may dull if exposed to harsh outdoor weather conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the surface of your furniture is clean and free of debris before application. Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation to prevent injury while hammering.

Installation Steps:

  1. Measure the length of the furniture frame and cut the strip to size.
  2. Align the strip edge with the seam of your fabric.
  3. Secure the strip using the pre-set nails and the additional loose nails provided for corners.

Care Instructions:

To preserve the bronze finish, clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use wet cloths, abrasive scrubbers, or chemical detergents, as these can strip the metallic finish and lead to oxidation.
