Repair of springs in the sofa

Among the entire assortment of furniture, the sofa deserves special attention, as it is in every apartment and house. Perhaps this is the most demanded furniture, it is this item that is subjected to the greatest stress: sitting on the sofa, we watch TV, communicate, receive guests. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that over time, being under the constant influence of the weight of the human body, certain components of the sofa fail. Springs are the Achilles' heel of every sofa, and most of the problems arise with them. How to repair them, get rid of their squeak - and will be discussed in this article.

The spring block is one of the main parts in the sofa. If it starts to make an unpleasant sound, and it becomes less pleasant, uncomfortable to sit on it, then it's all about the springs. There are several reasons why they squeak:

• the spring block sagged, and the springs themselves were stretched;
• the staples that connect the spring block have loosened;
• the manufacturer saved on the lining material, as a result, the entire load was transferred to the springs, which is why they could not withstand;
• were made from low-quality raw materials.

Of course, it is impossible to predict with what "filling" you buy a sofa. The only thing that will help in this case is the purchase of furniture in a specialized store exclusively from a reliable and well-known manufacturer. Of course, when buying, do not forget to get a warranty card and a receipt. Let's talk about how to eliminate the annoying and annoying metallic squeak.

1. You need to get to the spring block and determine what happened to it.
2. Visually inspect and make sure that the elements of the block are not damaged. Next, you need to understand which spring or bracket makes a creak.
3. If there are no visible breaks or breaks, it is enough just to lubricate the entire spring block and all connecting and fixing elements well. Only professional products with a specific composition should be used as a lubricant. You can buy them in specialized furniture stores. It is not recommended to use improvised drugs.

This is the simplest, but there are other, more serious problems and breakdowns. This will be discussed later in the article, as well as how to fix everything.

If, during a visual inspection of the structure, it was noticed that the elements of the block sagged, they need to be tightened. Restoration of the sofa and repairs in case of subsidence of structural elements are possible, you can even do it yourself. To do this, you need the following.

• Prepare material and tools - pliers, screwdrivers, stapler, staples, sealant and upholstery.
• The stretched spring must be disconnected. With the help of the tool, the bracket is detached, on which the spring is held.
• Next, the spring must be tightened with pliers., fasten it to the bracket and reinstall it in its original place.

When the block tightening is finished, it is advisable to replace the upholstery fabric and lining material. All you need to do this fairly simple process is a stapler, screwdrivers, and a cloth. Special foam rubber can be used as a lining material.

If the springs in the sofa completely, partially flew out or even burst altogether, it is necessary to replace the entire spring block structure. Unfortunately, there is no way to tighten or correct the elements. The thing is that when a block element bursts, there is a high probability that its sharp end will damage the lining material and, as a result, the sofa upholstery.
