Materials > Stretch Fabric
Stretch Fabric is a printable internal synthetic fibre with a sheen finish known for its exceptional elasticity. Its tensile strength allows it to be stretched over frames to create an endless number of shapes and designs.
Available in a variety of colours, Stretch Fabric can be patterned and tensioned between walls, adding volume, colour and interest to any space. Because Stretch fabric is lightweight, it can connect and be configured in a myriad of ways.
For spaces with glass atriums or glazed walls, Stretch Fabric can be used to diffuse and reduce direct sunlight. This is a cost effective way of keeping a space cool and reducing glare. With spaces where acoustics is important, such as atriums or spaces with high ceilings, Stretch Fabric helps reduce echo and ‘soften’ the space.
Stretch Fabric is easy to maintain. It can be cleaned by simply putting it in a washing machine. The fire-retardant option requires dry cleaning.
Applications include: interior decoration, branding, solar control.
