*How it works*

 *No adhesives or glues are used to keep the fabric in place* The track's jaws "grab" the fabric, keeping it taut and free from snagging or slipping. The track system also allows the fabric covering to be easily changed when necessary without the need to replace the whole panel as you would with a typical Vinyl wrapped tack board. First the track is installed on the perimeter of the area to be covered. The acoustical  insulation material is then fitted inside the perimeter of the track. An acoustical or tackable fabric covering is then stretched tight and tucked into the track’s jaws. The finished product will not loosen, sag or dimple. Unlike pre-made wrapped panels field measurements are rarely needed when a tech-wall fabric mounting track system is used, lead time is not a problem and the track and core can be installed ahead of time while the job site is still dirty, leaving the covering to be installed towards the end of the project. The importance of this cannot be overstated; on large “FAST TRACK” projects this is the only way a crew can install the large amount of panels in the short allotted time.

*What you need to know*

When buying or specifying a Tech-Wall Inc "Stretched-Fabric Wall System", the first selection needed is the Tech-wall rack profile and thickness. Our extruded polymer track is available in the standard square edge profile. All joints may be beveled or square as well. The two profiles are often used together to achieve the best look possible. This is what makes Tech-Wall's Fabric Mounting Track the best in the industry.

This section will provide you with valuable information on the materials recommended for use with each Track system.  Being a Site Fabricated Track System there are no limits on the lengths of panels. With standard pre-made fabric or vinyl wrapped panels you have a vertical panel joint every 4 feet. With Tech-Wall’s “Stretched Fabric Wall System “Panel sizes 100 feet and above are common!  Tech-Wall’s standard track thicknesses are (1/2 inch) and (1 inch). This works well with the most common acoustical & Tackable core materials. However, wall panel thicknesses up to six inches may be achieved through the furring of the track system, allowing us to accommodate any acoustical performance specification. Track is installed according to specified layout. Railroaded layouts are highly recommended when using a Tech-Wall Inc "Stretched-Fabric Wall System", as the Railroaded layout allows you to maximize the use of fabric, It also minimizes the number of panel joints. Panel sizes up to 100 feet long are now common.

Tech-Wall’s (½ inch) Stretched Fabric Wall System will turn a drab classroom into a high-tech learning environment.

(1 Inch) Track Profiles for Acoustical Wall Systems

(1-inch) Track with 6-pcf fiberglass is our most popular acoustical system.  Providing excellent aesthetics and acoustics. The most cost-effective layout is a single 5 ½’ band “railroaded” horizontally around the room. Two or more bands can be used to create whole wall coverage; this layout will not only provide the best acoustics and speech privacy but also will eliminate the need for painting and reduce wall prep (walls only need to be fire taped). The one-inch acoustical system is often used in conjunction with a (½ inch) tackable system. 

Unlimited sizes shapes can be accomplished with little or no lead-time when specifying a Tech-Wall “Stretched Fabric Wall System”.   

Over the past twenty-five years Tech-Wall’s “Stretched-Fabric Wall System” has been successfully used in many schools, student housing buildings, dorm rooms and other educational projects. Prided for its ability to stand up to the daily abuse while giving a custom look at a competitive price is why Tech-Wall is the go-to choose. Standard vinylwrapped panels & factory pre-made tackboards can not match our system’s versatility. Vinyl wrapped & pre-made tackboards provide no acoustical benefits (being acoustically reflective they will add to the noise & reduce the speech clarity), while Tech-Wall’s “Stretched-Fabric Wall System” adds improved acoustics, speech clarity and reduces noise levels in any room. Recognizing this, many Architects & School Districts. are switching to Tech-Wall’s “Stretched-Fabric Wall System” as the standard for their acoustical & Tackable panel needs and for the improved learning environment it provides
