COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS

FABRIC - CLOSED CIRCUIT

Closed Circuit is inspired by the technology surrounding us. A tightly woven fabric with a subtle block/rectangle pattern. A great fit for modern offices, conference rooms, work stations, and more. This fabric is acoustical plus "self-healing" as it will not show holes when push pins are pushed through it and into the backing. Our most popular colors are available for *Quickship delivery and have virtually no lead-time. Customize your walls with this functional fabric and give your spaces the benefits of beauty and functionality.

INNOVATIVE & VERSATILE

With a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors available, the possibilities are endless.

FRAME outlines and frames the shape of the panel or wall, holding the fabric in place and protecting the edges with a high-impact polymer frame.

BACKING fills the frame and covers the wall, absorbing reverberated sound, providing impact-resistance, thermal insulation, and a pinnable bulletin-board like surface that's perfect for tacking up photos, documents, and more.

FABRIC is stretched over the backing and held taut by the frame allowing the panel surface to spring back when struck, effectively mitigating visible damage.
