Metal Core PVC Screw-In Nose Pads for Glasses (1 Pair)

Metal Core PVC Screw-In Nose Pads are replacement nose pads built for frames that need a more durable alternative to plain plastic or silicone pads. The construction is dual-layer: a metal insert runs through the core of each pad, and a soft PVC layer wraps around it to form the surface that rests on the nose. This combination solves a common failure point—pads that sag, deform, or lose their shape under the constant pressure of the frame.

The metal core does the structural work. It holds the pad rigid enough to maintain its angle against the nose bridge and anchors the screw fitting so the pad does not work loose over time. The PVC outer layer does the comfort work. It is soft, smooth, and skin-friendly, with a slight grip that helps reduce sliding on the nose. PVC also resists moisture and is easy to clean under water, which keeps the pad hygienic over months of daily wear.

The pads use a standard screw-in mounting, the most common fitting on metal and acetate frames. A 1.0 mm threaded screw passes through the pad and into the frame’s nose arm, producing a stable, precision alignment that holds the pad securely in place. At 14mm, the pads fit most standard screw-in frames, and they are designed as a universal replacement for frames that use this mounting type.

Replacing worn nose pads is one of the cheapest ways to restore fit and comfort to a pair of glasses. A new pair of metal core pads reduces slipping, restores the original frame position, and extends the life of the eyewear without the cost of a new frame.

Key Features and Benefits of Metal Core PVC Screw-In Nose Pads

Metal core construction

• Structural stability: The metal insert keeps the pad rigid and holds its shape under frame pressure, resisting the sag and deformation common in all-plastic pads.

• Secure screw anchoring: The metal core provides a solid thread for the screw, so the pad stays firmly attached to the frame arm.

Soft PVC outer layer

• Comfortable contact surface: PVC is soft and smooth against the skin, reducing pressure points on the nose.

• Non-slip grip: The material has a slight grip that helps the frame stay in position and reduces sliding.

• Easy to clean: PVC can be rinsed under water and wiped dry, supporting hygiene over extended wear.

• Skin-friendly and hypoallergenic: The material is biocompatible and suitable for sensitive skin.

Screw-in 14mm fitting

• Standard screw-in mounting: Designed for eyeglass frames with a screw-through nose arm, the most common fitting type.

• 1.0 mm threaded screw: Produces a precision fit and stable alignment between pad and frame.

• 14mm size: Sized to replace standard screw-in pads on most frames; 12mm, 15mm, and 17mm variants exist for other frame types.

1-pair pack

• Complete replacement set: One pair supplies both sides of the frame.

• Lightweight: Approximately 1.0–1.2 g per pair, so the pads add no noticeable weight to the frame.
