    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.

    What Makes Tack Down Fasteners Different:

    • Reliable adhesion in tough conditions: Performs well in direct sunlight and high temperatures
    • Versatile surface bonding: Adheres to glass, metal, painted metal, and rigid plastics
    • Sewing-friendly design: The thin PSA strip keeps your equipment clean
    • Certified fire performance: Includes an FAA burn certificate for 25.853(a)

    Ideal Applications Include:

    • Upholstery closeouts and finishing
    • Holding down seat cushions in aircraft, boats, trains, and automobiles
    • Aerospace tack down applications requiring vertical burn compliance
    • Any upholstery tack-down project demanding certified materials

    Are these fasteners FAA certified?

    Yes. Each order includes an FAA burn certificate for 14 CFR 25.853(a), Vertical Burn.

    What surfaces should I avoid?

    Avoid plywood, EVA, and PVC. The adhesive performs best on glass, metal, painted metal, and rigid plastics.

    Can I sew these without damaging my machine?

    Absolutely. The narrow PSA strip means you can sew either side without adhesive affecting your sewing machine.

    Are hook and loop sold together?

    Hook and loop are sold separately, available in black and beige, 1-inch width, in 50-yard rolls.
