The advantages of our Snap Track Wall Upholstery site-fabricated system are many. It can be used on almost any rigid surface. Further, it can conform to any size and shape of surface including ceilings, soffits, alcoves and many other architectural details.. The Snap Track Wall Upholstery System offers many significant advantages over fabric wrapped panels or traditonal wall upholstery.
The system consists of a high-impact plastic track, which is installed around the perimeter and at intermediate points as needed on the surface of the area to be covered. The area defined by the track is then filled in with the specified substrate. The final step is to cover the panel with a fabric or other covering which is inserted into a hidden channel in the track. The covering is held firmly in place by the track’s jaws – the heart of the “free-floating” design. Its beauty is in its simplicity.
Decorating with Fabric has worked with hundreds of architects and designers over the past twenty five years. We always appreciate the opportunity to work with these professionals in providing attractive, acoustical, and functional wall and ceiling panel solutions for their clients.
We are part of your team. Our staff has been involved in every aspect of the design, specification and installation of floating-fabric wall panel systems and pre-assembled panels from project management to the actual installation. There are many considerations and they can often be complex. We understand all of those considerations fully and design professionals have found that they can rely upon us to provide complete technical information and support. This support includes detail drawings, material and assembled system flammability and NRC test certifications, CSI Guide Specifications and of course, our experienced and knowledgeable staff.
Snap Track is easy to specify. As early as the concept and pre-planning stages of any project, we work with architects and designers by employing value engineering right at the start. Every space has unique aspects and our team can analyze the application and make recommendations for layout, materials, application methods, installation timing, even product and installation warranty requirements based on the specified aesthetic, acoustical, and functional requirements. Through these efforts, we help you avoid costly mistakes both at bid time and during construction. Material requirements and labor costs are reduced, the proper materials are identifed and on-hand, and production delays are avoided. This will help ensure that your original vision for the space is realized and doesn’t succumb to budget limitations.
Snap Track is sustainable. Unlike pre-wrapped panels which are edge treated to develop modest durability and which have their coverings permanently glued to the substrate, the Snap Track System incorporates a high-impact “framework” which frames the panels, rendering their edges virtually crush proof. Another advantage of our track is that it permits the selected covering to be easily inserted into hidden, tight fitting jaws which hold the fabric taught, allowing the fabric to “float” above the surface of the panel. This eliminates almost all the visible surface damage that invariable occurs in pre-wrapped panels. Most of the fabrics we offer have 100% recycled content and they themselves can be recycled.
