SWALprint™
Printed stretch fabric ceilings: how do they work, and why choose them?
A custom solution that’s quick to install and makes all the difference.
Printing on stretched canvas transforms a ceiling into a unique decorative feature. The ceiling is no longer merely a functional surface, but a medium for expression in its own right. By playing with the image, the atmosphere, or the design, we give meaning to the space without overwhelming the architecture.
The fabric is stretched just a few centimeters from the existing ceiling, creating a perfectly smooth, seamless finish since we can print up to 5 meters wide. The result is crisp and precise. The printed stretch ceiling catches the eye, sets the mood, and highlights the architectural vision.
This type of ceiling is quick to install and requires no major construction work. It enhances interiors by providing a new canvas for creative expression.

With the SWALprint™ service, the possibilities for customizing your stretch ceiling or stretch wall are endless. You have the freedom to choose any image: a personal photo, a graphic pattern, an illustration, or any other design that inspires you. This allows you to create a truly unique design that tells a story or reflects your personality.
If you don’t have your own visuals, our collection of professional images offers a wide selection of designs suited to various styles: contemporary, natural, graphic, or artistic. These visuals have been selected for their quality and their ability to blend seamlessly into many different types of spaces.
Our tensioned canopies are designed to be removable. This means you can easily remove the canopy and replace it with a new graphic whenever you like, without having to dismantle the frames that support the canopy or undertake major work.
This modular design allows you to quickly adapt your decor to changing tastes or needs. Thanks to this flexibility, SWALprint™ is a sustainable solution that offers unlimited creative freedom.

SWALprint™: quality standards extended to the image
Precise visuals, stable colors, and controlled printing from start to finish.
At SWAL™, printing on stretched canvas is based on modern technologies that are perfectly suited to the requirements of architectural projects. Sublimation, UV, or latex printing : each process allows for the accurate reproduction of all types of visuals, while guaranteeing vibrant and durable colors.
Thanks to this technology, the finish remains uniform, even on large surfaces up to 5 meters wide. The fabrics retain their technical properties, whether they are acoustic fabrics or backlit fabrics, allowing for a combination of performance and aesthetics.
We print on canvas using large-format printers capable of reproducing even the finest details with precision. Whether it’s photographic images, graphic designs, or custom creations, each image undergoes specialized processing to ensure a result that stays true to your vision, thanks to our in-house graphic design studio.
Each printed canvas blends seamlessly into its surroundings: lobbies, offices, retail spaces, or private homes. The color accuracy and high-quality craftsmanship make SWALprint™ a decorative solution that is both technical and expressive.

The printing process preserves the fabric's technical properties, such as its acoustic performance, its light diffusion, and its compliance with safety standards.

All printing is done in-house using industrial-grade large-format printers, which allows us to ensure responsiveness, consistency, and quality for every project.
Our fleet of machines consists of printers designed for the various SWAL™ fabrics. Each technology is used depending on the desired finish:
- Large-format UV printer
- Large-format printer using HP’s patented Latex technology (eco-friendly inks)
- Large-format sublimation printer (water-based inks)
We pay particular attention to machine setup and color calibration (color profiles), which allows us to match RAL, NCS, and Pantone colors. This calibration ensures that we can reproduce visuals accurately.
Our stretch ceilings are also available in solid colors with the SWALtex™ Color line, allowing you to install a stretch ceiling in the color of your choice.

SWALprint™
How much should you budget for a printed stretch ceiling? Surface area, fabric, and visual design... everything that affects the final price.
The price of a printed stretch ceiling varies depending on several factors: the surface area to be covered, the type of fabric used (acoustic, backlit, or standard), and the printing technology (sublimation, UV, or latex).
The price also depends on the image to be printed. If you provide a ready-to-use file, printing is faster and less expensive. However, if you want a custom graphic design, our studio will take care of the design, taking into account technical constraints, which requires additional work and therefore incurs higher costs and longer lead times.
The price of a printed stretch ceiling ranges from €80 to €110 per square meter, depending on the surface area, the type of fabric, and installation. We can provide a custom quote for your project, including file preparation, high-definition printing on SWAL™ fabric, and the supply of installation components (profiles, padding if necessary). You can easily install this printed stretch fabric yourself by visiting our online stretch ceiling store.
Frequently Asked Questions
SWALprint™ printing uses high-quality inks designed to resist the effects of light and time. Under normal conditions of use, without excessive exposure to direct UV light or aggressive agents, the colors remain vibrant and true for many years. This durability ensures that your ceiling retains its aesthetic appeal and visual impact over the long term, without yellowing or noticeable degradation.
Yes, printed stretch ceilings can be cleaned carefully to preserve the quality of the image. We recommend using a soft cloth slightly dampened with clean water or a non-aggressive product specifically designed for printed surfaces. Avoid abrasive detergents, solvents, or harsh chemicals that could damage the ink. Regular maintenance will keep the colors sharp and bright throughout the ceiling's lifetime.
Our graphic design studio uses the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, which is regularly updated and includes Adobe Photoshop® and Adobe Illustrator®. Files submitted must be compatible with these versions. We check the quality of your files before each print run. If your photo’s resolution is insufficient for the desired format, we will contact you to suggest alternatives. You must own the rights to your images. If you do not have royalty-free images, take advantage of our catalog or our custom graphic design service tailored to your project.
We would like to receive files in .jpg, .tiff or .eps format with all layers flattened for images, or in .pdf, .ai, or .eps format for vector files, ensuring that fonts are vectorized. The color mode must be CMYK.
Files must be ready to print, i.e., without crop marks or other graphic information, with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi at scale 1. It is also necessary to add a bleed of at least 5 cm for mounting or assembly.
Example: a wall measuring 300 x H240 cm
Add 5 cm bleed, giving a total print size of 310 x 250 cm
File to be provided: 310 x 250 cm.
