Stretched walls
Our solutions
When considering renovating or decorating a wall, there are several options available. Paint remains a classic solution, while wallpaper offers a wide variety of styles but requires seams, which can sometimes be visible. Stretch wall coverings, an innovative and increasingly popular solution, offer an elegant and durable alternative.
This technique involves stretching a specially designed fabric over a discreet frame, allowing you to quickly cover a wall, even if it is damaged, without major work. Thanks to its perfectly smooth finish and dust-free installation, stretched walls appeal to both professionals and individuals who want to combine aesthetics and practicality.

What is a stretched wall and what are its advantages?
A stretched wall is a decorative wall covering solution that involves stretching a fabric canvas over a system of profiles fixed around the perimeter of the wall. This technique allows you to transform the appearance of a space without undertaking major work, while offering a clean, smooth, and contemporary finish.
A modern alternative to traditional wallpaper, stretch wall coverings replace wallpaper or paint, offering greater flexibility and durability. They can be installed without heat, glue, or moisture, and do not require any extensive preparation of the surface. Even damaged, uneven, or cracked walls can be covered in a matter of hours, without dust or mess. If your tastes change or trends shift, the profile system remains in place and the stretch covering can be changed very quickly and easily.
At SWAL™, we design technical fabrics specially adapted for walls: they are available in large widths to allow installation without visible seams, even on large surfaces. The fabric is stretched to measure, perfectly fitted to the contours of the room, including in corners or around technical elements.
Why choose a stretched wall to renovate or decorate your interior?
Stretch walls are a solution that combines aesthetics, flexibility, and performance, whether you are renovating a space or designing a custom decoration.
This type of covering can quickly transform the atmosphere of a room, creating a high-end look without the constraints of traditional solutions. A stretched wall covering can be customized in a variety of styles: simple and uniform with a plain fabric finish, graphic with a printed pattern, or even luminous with integrated backlighting.
Beyond its decorative aspect, stretch wall can also meet technical requirements: reduction of reverberation thanks to acoustic versions, improved impact resistance in high-traffic areas, and ease of maintenance in spaces open to the public.
It is also a reversible solution, ideal for evolving projects. The fabric can be removed and replaced at any time without altering the original wall. This allows you to update the decor or adapt the space to new uses without starting from scratch.
Stretch walls are ideal for all types of spaces, including offices, hotels, shops, and homes. They offer a neat and elegant finish while helping to improve acoustic comfort, without requiring extensive or time-consuming work.
This durable and easy-to-maintain solution is particularly popular in public spaces, where aesthetics and functionality must go hand in hand. When renovating, it can be used to hide imperfections in existing walls, offering a modern, clean, and quick alternative to paint or wallpaper.
Thanks to its custom design, the stretched wall can be adapted to all configurations and requirements, combining technical performance and aesthetic appeal to enhance every project, whatever the context.
Frequently Asked Questions
The average price of a stretched wall is generally between €80 and €150 per square meter, including installation. This price may vary depending on several factors. Among these, the options chosen play an important role: for example, an acoustic fabric, which improves sound comfort, or a printed fabric, which offers graphic customization, can increase the cost.
The complexity of installation, the surface area to be covered, and the finishes chosen also influence the final price. Despite this, stretch walls remain a competitive solution, particularly appreciated for their quick installation and high-end finish.
Yes, it is possible to install a stretched wall in a bathroom, provided you choose a fabric that is suitable for this environment. Some of our fabrics are water-repellent, which makes them resistant to moisture and therefore perfectly compatible with damp rooms.
A high-quality stretched wall offers excellent durability. On average, it can last between 15 and 20 years, or even longer, depending on conditions of use and maintenance. The stretched fabric is designed to withstand impact, light-induced discoloration, and wear and tear over time.
Maintenance is simple: gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. This durability, combined with the ability to easily replace the fabric if necessary, makes stretched walls an attractive and long-lasting solution, suitable for both residential and commercial projects.
