This system is a commercial, site-installed, highly customized system for tightly stretching fabric over acoustical or tackable substrates, then applying the panels to the application using a tracking system. As it is site installed, this system assures a perfect fit to all adjacent work while eliminating any gaps, sagging or misfitting. The tracking is secured to the panel and can be applied to either wall or ceiling applications.

Easy to incorporate outlets, switches and lighting.

Track is not visible under fabric or exposed; flush mounted.
Fabric can be removed for replacement.
Fabric is stretched, not glued; allows for high tension applications.
