Precision, safety, and compliance matter, and the fasteners holding your interiors together can't be an afterthought. Bramport Supply Co.'s FR tack-down hook & loop fasteners are engineered for the demanding environments of aerospace, marine, automotive, and railway applications, giving fabricators a dependable way to secure upholstery and cushioning without compromising on fire safety.
Unlike full adhesive-backed alternatives, these fasteners feature a narrow strip PSA design: a slim band of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive that runs through the center. This configuration holds material firmly in place during stitching, then lets you sew either side without gumming up your machine. The result is a cleaner, faster workflow for upholsterers who value both speed and precision.
