Fabric Samples
The most important
part of a fabric covered acoustic or tack panel is the fabric. We
take this very serious here at Integrated Interiors; therefore we
must approve the fabrics used in our products.
The criteria
we use to make these judgments are as follows: Opacity, Acoustic
Transparency (for acoustic panels), Hand (workability), and Fiber
Content.
The last criteria, Fiber content, is the one we follow most closely,
because the type of fiber directly affects performance.
Polyester, Polyolefin,
Acrylic, and Polypropylene are stable fibers. These can be used
in flat panels are done in either factory manufactured or stretch
fabric installations.
Nylon, Rayon, Viscose, are hydrophilic, expand and extract with
fluctuations in ambient atmospheric moisture levels. Hydrophilic
fibers can be used in stretch fabric systems if they are upholstered
with various thicknesses of Dacron upholstery filler. Most natural
fibers must be tested for acceptability in stretched fabric systems
and factory manufactured panels.
With our experience
we can help you avoid the pitfalls of fabric misapplications.
