Fabrics
Although most fabrics work well with FabricWall’s Track System, it is imperative to choose a fabric that fits and holds in the track selected. All of FabricWall’s standard, upgrade and premium fabrics have been tested and work well with the track system. FabricWall offers very competitive pricing on these fabrics and a variety of others. When using your own fabric selection, we always recommend a mock-up. Please contact us if needing a larger selection of tested fabrics.
Fabrics to Avoid
While most fabrics work well in FabricWall’s Track System, there are a few fabrics we do not recommend.
- Fabrics with nylon or rayon content
- Fabrics with an open, loose weave
- Fabrics that are too thick or thin*
FabricWall keeps a history of fabrics we have used and tested with the track system. If you are considering using one of your own fabrics, please contact us to see if we have information available. If we do not have this information, we recommend a mock-up.
*FW-Liner can be used with some thin or sheer fabrics. Contact us for more information.
Pattern Fabrics
Pattern fabrics can be aligned using FabricWall’s Track System. It is important to know that using patterned fabric requires additional labor, additional fabric, and directional application of the fabric. Please contact us for more information.
Directional Fabrics
Directional fabrics are similar to patterned fabrics in that the fabric must run the same direction for the entire project; however, there is no pattern matching at the edge of each panel. When selecting a directional fabric, make sure the fabric size and panel layout allow for the fabric to run the same direction throughout the project.
