Vinyl Strapping - Application

Application

Straps from vinyl manufacturers are normally supplied in rolls, which can be cut into individual straps of any desired length. However, some furniture manufacturers or retailers may sell individual and cut-to-fit straps. The most common strap sizes are 1.5 and 2 inches wide.

Vinyl straps are attached to a powder-coated aluminum frame and fastened using a plastic or nylon rivet. There are other means of fastening and rivets can also be made of aluminum.

Furniture is often strapped using a method called double wrap where the strap is wrapped around the frame, the fastening rivet, and itself on each end. This makes it very difficult for the strap to pull away from the frame and normally requires the strap to be cut in order to remove it.

Strapping patterns include horizontal and basketweave.
