Freestanding tension fabric backdrops
Free Standing Tension Fabric (TFS) backdrops are an ideal solution for any display area including retail, events, exhibitions, conferences, museums, media walls and more.
Seamless interchangeable TFS graphics, quick assembly, and disassembly, portable, re-usable and robust frame systems combine to make this a truly a cost-effective alternative to most traditional display products.
The interchangeable printed fabric graphics are Eco printed using digital dye sub water-based inks, finished with a TFS kedar edging which stretch across the surface of the frame, leaving no creases and result in a ‘frameless’ appearance.
Why we recommend XG tension fabric systems...
- Easy to install and once initial frame is installed graphics are interchangeable without tools
- High quality look and feel – soft to touch with stunning vibrancy
- Cost effective shipping and storage
- Range of fire-rated display fabrics available, including blockout

Freestanding tension fabric backdrops
Tension fabric systems (TFS) are a revolutionary way to brand using an anodised aluminium frame, and a textile tensioned fabric skin inserted and held in place with a kedar edging, resulting in a stunning ‘frameless’ appearance. They are cost effective, easy to install and fully interchangeable, making this a highly sustainable way to get your message across.
All tension frame systems are custom made to order. Please contact us by calling 01280 707180 or emailing sales@xg-group.co.uk with your requirements and we will be more than happy to help
Pre-configured or modular?
Pre-configured frames are made to order to any size, this option is recommended for long term installations that do not require regular dismantling or transporting.
Modular systems are recommended for projects that require regular build and derig so our toolless assembly ensures that you will have your freestanding backdrop built faster than any alternative product on the market. Supplied as pre assembled frame modules you can add or remove sections to reconfigure the shape and size of your backdrop to suit any space.
Things to consider...
Design
With the size of tension fabric displays being custom, your designs are endless! If you have a step and repeat or stage backdrop, you do not need to be concerned with seams, the graphic can be printed in one piece without seams.
If you chose the modular option, then you have the flexibility of having independent graphic panels which offers a different level of flexibility and cost saving.
Size
Tension fabric backdrops are a modular solution that can be reconfigured to your changing needs, or they can be tailored to meet exact size requirements and floor space.
Here at XG, we will work with you to create a brief to develop the right solution to fit your criteria.
Material
A lot of backdrop displays are produced using vinyl or boards, these can have folds or sometimes even wrinkles in them, this can make your display displeasing. With the Eco printed fabric and aluminium constructed frame, you will have a backdrop with perfect tension throughout, and a ‘frameless’ appearance.
Glare
Using your backdrop for media, press, photography? When fabric is used, you get no glare compared to vinyl which can have a sheen and create flare which can result in bad photography.

What is TFS?
TFS stands for Tension Fabric System, also known as SEG (Silicone Edge Graphics).
Tension Fabric Systems are an ideal solution for retail, commercial, architectural, exhibition and display environments. Systems can be tailored to your requirements using re-configurable frame components and are easy to install, dismantle and transport often requiring no or few tools for assembly.
The graphics are a printed fabric finished with a silicon edge, sewn neatly around the edges fit in to a recessed groove within the frame that then stretches the graphic across the display. The result gives you a smooth and high-quality finish that brings your graphic to life.
Wall mounted, freestanding, hanging systems are available along with light boxes and we offer a range of fabric options including frontlit, backlit and blockout.
Silicon is sewn around the edge of the graphic, giving the name SEG (Silicon Edge Graphics)
