Leclerc Looms - Back to Floor Looms Page
All Leclerc looms and accessories are guaranteed for one year, covering materials and workmanship. The majority of wooden parts are select, well-seasoned, kiln dried Canadian maple. Metal parts are aluminum dye cast, cast iron, or steel protected with zinc plating. Heddle support bars are now stainless steel. All looms are shipped partially assembled with instructions and assembly equipment. All floor looms have easy to use and long lasting nylon tie-up cords, non-sliding polyvinyl pads on the uprights, a plain warp beam that can be converted to a sectional warp beam by adding rake-like pieces, and 2 treadles more than the number of harnesses. Since Leclerc changed ownership in the 1990s, they have made many innovative improvements to their products. Leclerc looms come in 4 different styles - counterbalance, jack-type, countermarch, and the new jack-type with back hinge treadles.
