Freestanding tension fabric backdrops
Freestanding Tension Fabric (TFS) backdrops are an ideal solution for any display area including retail, events, exhibitions, conferences, museums, media walls and more.
Our freestanding backdrops are modular and are quick and easy to build. Seamless interchangeable TFS graphics, quick assembly, and disassembly, portable, re-usable and robust modular frame systems combine to make this a truly cost-effective alternative to most traditional display products.
The inherent nature of modular systems is the ability to add, change and reconfigure your display for different uses, including evolving it in to a fully functioning exhibition system. View our FAQs here.
Why we recommend XG tension fabric systems...
- Very quick and easy to install without tools and fully interchangeable.
- High quality and robust hardware.
- Cost effective, sustainable and recyclable.
- Interchangeable dye sub printed fabric graphics.

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)
For more information please contact us by calling 01280 707180 or emailing sales@xg-group.co.uk with your requirements.
