- Fabric Paneling with Gripper System
- Walls that absorb sound, project elegance, and adapt to your evolving design.
Introduction
In any space where people gather, communicate, and collaborate, the quality of the acoustic environment directly impacts productivity, comfort, and wellbeing. Hard surfaces — glass, concrete, plaster, marble — reflect sound, creating echo, reverberation, and a constant ambient noise that makes conversation tiring and concentration difficult.
Fabric paneling solves this problem with elegance. Stretched across walls and ceilings using our track-mounted gripper system, acoustic fabric absorbs sound energy, reduces reverberation, improves speech clarity, and transforms visually sterile surfaces into warm, textured, inviting planes.
How the Gripper System Works
An aluminium track framework is mounted to the wall or ceiling surface, forming a perimeter grid. The chosen fabric is then stretched taut across this framework and secured by gripper strips that hold the material firmly in place. The fabric surface is smooth, uniform, and wrinkle-free — giving the wall a clean, upholstered appearance that conceals the framework entirely.
The system is engineered for tool-free fabric changes. When you want to refresh the colour, update the texture, or replace a damaged panel, the fabric simply releases from the gripper strips and a new panel locks into place. No painting, no plastering, no construction downtime. This makes the gripper system uniquely practical for commercial spaces that rebrand, seasonal hospitality interiors, and any environment where design flexibility is a priority.
Acoustic Benefits
- Reduces ambient noise and echo in open-plan offices, conference rooms, and lobbies
- Improves speech clarity and intelligibility in meeting rooms, classrooms, and auditoriums
- Lowers sound transmission between adjacent spaces when installed on shared walls
- Creates quieter, more focused environments in libraries, studios, and healthcare settings
- Can be combined with acoustic underlays for enhanced NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) performance

Fabric Options
Our fabric paneling library includes a wide range of colours, textures, and performance grades. Options include standard decorative fabrics for visual applications, acoustic-rated fabrics optimised for sound absorption, fire-retardant fabrics for commercial and public safety compliance, and antibacterial fabrics for healthcare and food-service environments.
Our team helps you select the right fabric for the right application — balancing acoustic performance, safety requirements, visual aesthetics, and budget.
