WHY USE UPHOLSTERY BUTTONS?








Do you know why you need a strong covered button for upholstery work?



Of course, you can make up your own buttons from kits bought from your haberdashery store but they won’t stand up to the tough life needed for chairs, sofas or caravan seats.

A covered button used in upholstery is pulled tight into a deep cavity or pulled against a firm cushion pad. This can cause the backs to separate from the tops and leave an ugly skeleton. J A Milton will cover buttons for you in your own fabric. They will be made using a die and lever press machine, from especially manufactured blanks that will withstand the tough life of an upholstery button.


We can of course sell you a button press machine, dyes and cutters so that you can make your own buttons but this may be too large an outlay if you only use them occasionally. So why not simply ask J A Milton to make them for you. Buttons can be made in different sizes, with loop backs with split prong backs or with a nail back. These buttons will ensure that the end result and all your hard work will produce a piece of work with a professional finish. One that will withstand the rigours required of a well used piece of furniture.



When you have your buttons made we have a range of buttoning needles and Button Twine to attach them to your furniture.
