FAQs

Can these strips be cut to custom lengths?

Yes, the strips are designed to be cut easily between nail heads using wire cutters.

Is this product suitable for outdoor furniture?

These strips are designed for indoor furniture. Exposure to moisture may cause the metal to tarnish or rust over time.

Do I need special tools to install these?

You will primarily need a small hammer for the loose nails and wire cutters for trimming the strip to length.

What is the diameter of the nail heads?

The diameter of the nail heads is 9.5mm.

Can I use these on plastic furniture?

These are designed for use on wooden furniture frames where nails can be securely driven into the surface.

Are replacement nails included if I lose some?

The kit comes with a supply of matching loose nails; however, it is recommended to keep them in a secure container during your project.

Troubleshooting

The nail strip is not laying flat against the fabric.

Ensure the underlying fabric is pulled taut and stapled securely before applying the strip. If the frame is uneven, you may need to add a small amount of padding underneath.

The nail head finish is showing scratches.

Use an upholstery hammer with a rubber or nylon head, or wrap a thin piece of cloth around the metal head of your hammer to prevent scratching the finish during installation.

The strip feels loose after installation.

Check that all pre-drilled holes have been secured with the provided loose nails. If the strip remains loose, use additional loose nails in the existing holes to ensure it is tight against the frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to individual upholstery tacks
  • Flexible material conforms easily to curves and corners
  • Professional silver finish enhances the aesthetic of furniture
  • Generous 10-meter roll supports multiple DIY projects
  • Includes necessary loose nails for a complete finish

Cons

  • Requires careful alignment to maintain a straight line
  • Hammering the loose nails requires steady hand-eye coordination
  • Limited to 9.5mm diameter size

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, begin by positioning your strip along the edge of your fabric. Use the pre-drilled holes on the strip to drive the matching loose nails into the wooden frame of your furniture. For best results, use a small upholstery hammer to avoid damaging the nickel-plated surface.

When cutting the strip to size, use heavy-duty wire cutters to ensure a clean break between nail heads. To maintain the appearance, wipe the strips occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may tarnish the nickel plating over time.
