To be sure, paint has its place. It preserves and decorates albeit with many limitations. The problem is that we are so used to specifying and using paint, we don’t stop to consider what it cannot do. Paint provides only limited aesthetic appeal, offers no acoustical or functional advantages, exhibits poor durability, and enjoys limited cost benefits. What paint will provide is the opportunity to use it again and again. No cost savings there. Paint has its place, but it’s often over used.
Whether you choose our Pre-made Panels, Modular Panel System, or our Site-fabricated System, Fabricmate offers businesses, educational institutions, even residences with a clearly superior wall finishing solution. It turns the largest amount of your wasted space into an attractive, functional, and contributive part of your working, learning, and living environments.
Allow us to “hammer home” the benefits:
- Improve your aesthetic presentation --- Add colors, textures, incorporate different materials and meet virtually any design requirement. Add richness, depth, even a little elegance to your spaces.
- Provide acoustical benefits --- Speech intelligibility is fundamental to communication and in turn, understanding. Whether in common areas (both large and small), conferences rooms, or classrooms, you must be understood. The acoustical benefits of the Fabricmate System will reduce reverberated sound (echoes) and establish optimum reverberation times.
- Turn walls into usable surfaces --- Provide an attractive, tackable surface that is far superior to paint, vinyl, or even construction paper covered cork boards. Use the Fabricmate System as panels, create horizontal bands, or cover entire walls.
- Make an environmentally responsible choice --- To us, “green” and “sustainable” aren’t just buzz words, they are important concepts. Most of our coverings are manufactured from 100% recycled polyester and our ReCore® substrate has a 65% post consumer content (recycled plastic beverage containers). ReCore® is free of volatile organic compounds like formaldehyde and contributes to LEED credits.
- Eliminate painting and reduce maintenance costs --- The Fabricmate System is extremely durable and won’t show damage like painted or vinyl covered walls and wrapped panels. The Fabricmate System incorporates a high-impact frame (track), rendering the panel edges virtually crush proof. Tight fitting jaws in the track hold the covering taught, allowing it to “float” freely over the surface of the panel. This eliminates almost any visible surface damage that invariably occurs in drywall or pre-wrapped panels. You can take a hammer to the face of our panels and they won’t show any damage. Should a panel covering ever become damaged, badly soiled, or if a change is desired, it can be done without removing the panel. Imagine never replacing another panel, just the covering. Imagine the reduced material and labor costs.
Businesses, schools, colleges and universities, churches, and commercial institutions throughout North America are using the Fabricmate System year after year with tremendous satisfaction. Facilities maintenance personnel have found that installation is easy, fast, and relatively clean. When self-installation is not an option, we can recommend installation contractors or work with one of your choosing. Short lead times are our specialty. Our system products are in stock and in most cases are available for same day shipment.
