Frequently Asked Questions – Tension Fabric Systems
1. What is a Tension Fabric System?
Textile signage has a lightweight aluminium frame that holds a stretch fabric graphic using a silicone edge strip. This creates a seamless, frameless look ideal for exhibitions, retail displays, and branded environments. It’s quick to assemble and easy to update when graphics change.
3. Are Tension Fabric Displays Easy to Install?
Yes, tension fabric displays are designed for quick and simple installation. The lightweight aluminium fabric frames can be mounted and the TFS graphics installed without special tools, and graphics can be replaced easily. As a result, they’re ideal for busy events, trade shows, or retail areas needing regular updates.
4. Can Tension Fabric Frames Be Illuminated?
Absolutely. Many tension fabric systems can be illuminated using LED modules or lightsheets. As a result, the even lighting enhances colour vibrancy and makes graphics stand out. Additionally, illuminated textile signage are often called SEG lightboxes or tension fabric lightboxes.
5. What Are the Benefits of Using a Tension Fabric Display?
Tension fabric displays are lightweight, cost-effective, and reusable. They offer excellent adaptability to changing promotions while maintaining a high-end look. Additionally, the dye-sublimation printed fabric provides vivid colours and crisp detail, ensuring your brand always looks its best.
5. Can I add shelves or other accessories to a TFS display?
Yes, you can. By using Magnwall technology, it’s possible to magnetically attach a wide range of accessories — including powered options such as LED shelves, screens, and lighting to a non-illuminated TFS display. The clever Magnwall system transfers power wirelessly through the frame, eliminating the need for visible cables or connectors. If your display is illuminated with a backlit textile graphic, you can still add non-electrified magnetic accessories, such as standard shelves or hooks to the face of the display. This makes it easy to enhance your TFS setup with practical or decorative features while maintaining a clean, seamless appearance.
