What is a wall-mounted stretched fabric panel, and why should you choose it?
Stretched fabric offers a new way to renovate walls that is thermally efficient, soundproof, and durable
Wall-mounted stretched fabric is an ideal solution for renovating a damaged, uneven, or outdated wall without the need for lengthy, dusty construction work. It allows you to cover the existing surface with a quick, mess-free installation.
Installed at room temperature like a cold-stretched ceiling, the fabric is secured to ClipSWAL™ tension profiles installed along the perimeter of the wall.
The result is perfectly smooth, with no seams or joints, up to 2.80 meters wide. The fabric hugs the wall with a polished finish, creating a warm, high-end look.
A solution that provides long-lasting wall coverage, while allowing for easy replacement of the fabric if needed. The SWAL™ rail system remains in place, and if you wish to change your decor, all you need to do is replace the stretched fabric in just a few hours.
It is important to note that stretched fabric is inherently acoustic. With its porous surface, the wall fabric prevents reverberation and creates interiors that are far warmer than cold, smooth surfaces. The stretched fabric is also highly thermal and acts as a form of interior insulation, trapping ambient heat. This can be described as textile thermal inertia due to the phase-shifting effect of the stretched fabric with batting.

What are the options available with a stretched wall canvas?
Classic, acoustic, or printed, it adapts to all your technical and decorative needs.
The classic wall-mounted stretched canvas from the SWALtradition™ range is available in various weights, ranging from 220 to 320 grams per square meter. This variety allows us to meet a range of aesthetic needs.
This range is also available in acoustic stretch fabric with specific weights of 200 and 270 grams. It can be combined with a batting layer, which enhances its sound absorption performance and reduces sound reverberation. This solution significantly improves acoustic comfort, particularly in commercial and residential spaces.
These fabrics can be customized using SWALprint™ technology, which allows you to print a custom pattern, image, or design. This feature offers significant creative freedom, resulting in exceptional and perfectly tailored wall decor.
Change the fabric, not the installation system
The SWALtradition™ wall covering is easy to replace
when you want to change your decor or style,
without requiring major renovations.
Installing a wall-mounted stretched canvas is based on a simple principle : the canvas is stretched at room temperature using mounting profiles installed around the perimeter of the wall and a spatula, and then the excess is trimmed to create a professional finish.
No heat source is required. Unlike hot-tensioning systems, installation is done at room temperature, allowing for a quick and straightforward process.
Once the profiles are installed, the fabric is gradually worked in using a trowel to create a smooth, even surface free of imperfections. This method works on all types of walls and easily conceals any irregularities.
If you’d like to install your stretched fabric yourself, our installation guides provide detailed instructions to help you install your wall-mounted stretched fabric. With the SWAL™ installation technique, you can also easily remove the fabric whenever you want to change up the look of your space.
A wall-mounted stretched fabric panel adapts to the technical constraints of a room’s walls. Outlets, light switches, access panels, or fixtures such as shelves can be easily integrated. The profile of a stretched fabric panel on the walls is 10 mm.
Components such as outlet and switch plates (10 mm thick) are installed directly on the wall, and then the fabric is stretched over them. Cutouts are made on site without marking the fabric or compromising its tension (see our installation guides).
This ease of installation combines technical requirements with high-end finishes. Whether in a living room, an office, or a public space, the result is clean, durable, and fully functional.

How much does a stretch wall fabric cost ?
A solution that minimizes construction work and maximizes your renovation budget.
The price of a stretched wall canvas depends on several factors: the surface area to be covered, the type of canvas chosen (weight), any options (acoustic version, custom printing), as well as the complexity of the project and the desired finishes.
The price ranges from €80 to €110 per square meter. One of the advantages of this system is that it eliminates the need for major construction work: there’s no need to remove old flooring or redo the walls. This saves time on the job site and often helps keep additional costs down.

Frequently Asked Questions
A high-quality wall-mounted fabric panel, when properly installed and maintained, can last more than 20 years. Unlike some traditional wall coverings, the fabric remains taut over time without warping, cracking, or yellowing.
Its stability and durability ensure a long-lasting finish that retains its like-new appearance year after year. Longevity also depends on the quality of the product and the precision of the installation.
The SWALtradition™ wall-mounted stretched fabric is designed to meet strict fire safety requirements. It has an M1 classification, which guarantees its fire performance in accordance with European standard EN 13773, Class 1.
This classification means that the fabric is flame-resistant and helps limit the spread of flames and the production of toxic fumes. This makes it a suitable material for both residential homes and public buildings, where fire safety is a top priority.
Caring for the stretched canvas is simple and does not require any special products. To clean the surface, simply use a soft cloth dampened with clean water. For light stains, you can gently clean the area with a slightly dampened white eraser, taking care not to rub too hard to preserve the material.
It is important to avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the fabric.
