Spring Clips & Bracewire

Spring Clips and Bracewire is essential fittings to secure and stabilise upholstery springs. Prevents shifting, maintains alignment, and ensures a strong, professional finish.

What Are Spring Clips & Brace Wire?

Spring clips and brace wire are vital components when installing zigzag springs or superloop springs in chairs and sofas. Clips fasten the springs firmly to the wooden frame, while the brace wire runs across the springs to prevent sideways movement, ensuring consistent spacing and long-term stability.

Without clips and brace wire, springs can twist or shift under load, leading to sagging seats and reduced comfort.
