Fabrics


The dominate finish for acoustical ceiling and wall systems due to a virtually unlimited selection of color, pattern, texture, materials and price points. One of our core competences is our ability to tailor and upholster fabric over fiberglass panels and we are ready to collaborate in the development of the specific solutions for your project

The material selection is critical. Search for panel fabrics composed of one of the following fibers

  • Polyester is the dominate choice because of availability, width selection, stability, acoustical transparency, fire safety
  • Polyolefin is used in areas to withstand abuse and heavy cleaning

Avoid fabrics composed of cotton, silk, wool, linen and nylon as they tend to be unstable with changes in temperature and humidity

Maintenance: normal maintenance requires a periodic cleaning with a vacuum or soft brush. Any remaining soil should be removed with a dry erase sponge

Cleaning:

  • The primary consideration in stain removal is prompt attention
  • Act quickly to minimize damage
  • Determine the nature of the stain before attempting removal
    • Fluids:
      • Blot with clean tissue, sponge or cloth
      • Do not rub or press soil into the fabric
    • Semi Solid
      • Scrape off excess with knife or sponge
      • Blot with clean tissue or cloth
      • Confine the area by working from the edges toward the center
  • If stain persists, add a very mild soap such as IVORY, LUX or BORATINE to cold, clean water and blot, sponge or brush with a soft brush

Caution! Always test your cleaning process in a discrete area before attempting stain removal
