Lamp Shade Adhesives

U.S. Adhesives manufacture a number of adhesives that are specifically designed to be used with different fabrics and materials for making lamp shades. Our lamp shade adhesives cover a number of different functions, and can be used for working with shades, trim work, pleats, and trim, as well as seams, all of which entail the use of different materials.

We understand that crafting lamp shades require a special type of adhesive, as the components of a lamp shade must be able to properly adhere to one another at higher temperatures, since the final product will inevitably be used close to a light source that will heat up the adhesive and materials. As such, lamp shade adhesives must also be designed to be non-flammable for safety. For this purpose, we offer a number of water-based adhesives that will work well for lamp shade making. For the crafter, a lamp shade adhesive must also be easy to use and work with, and finally, must be neat so as not to ruin the quality of the end product.
