Top Tips for Maximising Tension Fabric Systems (TFS)
A Guide by EFKA Frame Solutions. Tension Fabric Frames (TFS) are a versatile and impactful solution for creating dynamic displays in retail, exhibitions, and interiors. As a leading UK manufacturer, Here at EFKA Frame Solutions we offer a comprehensive range of aluminium textile frames designed for both single and double-sided applications. TFS frames are very diverse and can be wall-mounted, freestanding, suspended, power LED backlit or 3D. These frames allow for quick and easy graphic changes, ensuring your messaging remains fresh and engaging.
1. Choose the Right Frame Profile
Selecting the appropriate frame profile is crucial. For wall-mounted non-illuminated displays, the Eco 15 profile offers a cost-effective solution, while the Heavy 27 provides extra strength for larger installations. Freestanding or suspended displays benefit from the Double 44 or Double 80 profiles, which offer durability and versatility.
2. Enhance Acoustics with Acoustic Materials
Integrating acoustic materials like Therm Acoustic or Basotect® into your frames can significantly improve sound quality in a space. These materials are recyclable and can be seamlessly incorporated into profiles like the Heavy 27 or Double 80, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.
3. Illuminate Your Message with LED Fabric Frames
Illuminated fabric frames—also known as LED lightboxes add brightness, clarity, and visual impact. Our backlit frames, such as the Lightbox 80 and Lightbox 120, use high-quality LED technology to evenly illuminate your printed fabric graphics, making colours more vibrant and messages more attention-grabbing
4. Utilise Accessories for Stability and Flexibility
We provide a range of accessories to ensure your frames are securely installed and adaptable to various settings. Wall mounts with adjustable screws allow for precise leveling, while baseplates and ceiling mounts offer additional support for freestanding or suspended frames.
5. Opt for Custom Colours to Match Branding
To maintain brand consistency, we offer powder-coating of frames in any RAL colour. This customisation ensures your displays align perfectly with your brand's colour scheme, enhancing visual coherence across all marketing materials.
6. Incorporate 3D Configurations for Impact
For a more immersive experience, consider our 3D tensioned fabric frames. Profiles like the Carre 80 and Cube 65 allow for the creation of cube-shaped or rectangular configurations, ideal for freestanding displays or suspended installations that captivate attention from all angles including configurations of L U and O.
Our expertise and comprehensive product range is second to none, our trade partners can create compelling and adaptable displays that stand out and grab the attention of the audience effectively and your Client's brand message.
