COMPATIBILITY SAMPLES


Order one of our Compatibility Samples to get a hands-on experience with our system and how it works. These 8.5" x 11" working sample boards are the easiest and lowest cost way to get introduced to our system first-hand. 

With a Compatibility Sample you can:

  • Try your own fabrics with the system
  • Hit Test - Yes, for real - Protect your walls in style
  • Install / Uninstall fabric - Easy changeability  
  • It's Tackable - Use tacks or pushpins to hang something on it
  • Get familiar with our system
 
With a full-size panel (4'x8' or larger) or full-wall installation you can expect Acoustic improvements (results will differ depending on the makeup/options chosen).


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.
