Tension fabric systems with interchangeable graphics

Tension fabric systems (TFS) are a revolutionary way to brand using an aluminium frame, using a textile tensioned fabric skin inserted and held in place with a very simple flat silicone strip. These fabric display stands are cost effective, easy to install and fully interchangeable, making this a highly sustainable way to get your message across. Tension fabric systems are ideal for many different applications including retail branding, corporate installs, trade shows, exhibitions, events and interiors, and they significantly reduce installation times.

The lightweight tension fabric graphics are direct dye sublimation printed creating stunning vibrant colours and are very durable. They fold up easily and can be shipped to site, unlike large and heavy boards, thereby offering a more seamless branding solution. In retail environments, where messages need to regularly change, fabric graphic skins are easy to replace by your ground staff and don’t incur the extra cost of having skilled installers on site during unsociable hours.

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.
