Manufacturing stunning furniture pieces 

Manufacturing furniture takes several steps. From design over the construction of a prototype to the production stage, the goal is always the same: a product that intrigues the end-user. During the production process, the first step is the material preparation, for example surface that must be evened out. After material preparation, the material is processed i.e., cut to size, and painted in preparation for assembly. Next step is the assembly. Our tapes support you in putting everything together, including mirror mounting, mounting of decorative elements and glass elements or the splicing of back walls. We provide you with a strong bond that holds the pieces together for a long time. This makes quality control an easy step and you can ship the piece to its destination.

Applications

How to use furniture tape

There are different applications for furniture tape. Take a look at how and where our products can support you.

Mirror mounting

01Mirror mounting

Decorative mirror panels are part of various furniture pieces. A wardrobe with a single mirror or with all the doors full of mirrors is probably the most obvious example. At tesa, we recommend double-sided foam tape as mirror mounting adhesive to bond the mirror to the underground material. One big benefit of foam tapes is the possibility to absorb vibrations. This is crucial for mirrors as they shouldn’t break during the transportation or on the wall. Foam tapes are also very strong and can hold even large mirrors. Our expertise concerning this kind of tapes goes back over 20 years, and our foam tape creates a durable and reliable bond between the different surfaces.

02Mounting of decorative elements

Furniture decoration creates the special design of your pieces. It sets them apart from your competition. These parts are usually made of plastic, wood, or aluminum. For easy mounting, double-sided tape is the right choice. Use thin filmic tape for smooth surfaces and thick foam tape for rough surfaces or when you need to fill in gaps.
Decorative elements

03Mounting of glass elements

Glass elements are a part of several furniture pieces, including tables, shelves, and wall systems. In these cases, invisibility is the most important factor because end-users don’t want to see the tape. Therefore, we recommend transparent adhesives, but colored tapes matching the frames can also be a possibility. All of them provide excellent bonding power and a long-lasting durability.

04Splicing tapes for furniture back walls

A backboard tape needs to be flexible, as often the back walls of furniture pieces have to be folded for distribution and logistics. Our tesa® tapes give you great stability at any time. Another advantage is that tesa® splicing tapes can be bent 180 degrees without damaging the backside. Therefore, they integrate perfectly into your production process and provide the required hold.

FAQ

FAQ

Furniture tape is used for bonding and mounting components during furniture production and assembly. Common applications include mounting mirrors, fixing decorative and glass elements, and joining furniture back walls. Depending on the application, different tape solutions can provide strong adhesion, flexibility, or vibration absorption.

Overall, tapes work best on even and clean surfaces, in this case coated wood surfaces. Concerning rough surface like untreated wood, you better pick a foam adhesive. The foam can fill up space, if needed, and therefore even out the surface.
