Display fabrics can be found in many different environments but principally in the retail and exhibition sectors. In both of these markets there is a growing trend to use a broad range of fabrics that will give different effects. From canvas-type fabrics to satins, flag fabrics to display fabrics and backlite fabrics are just a few of the different options available from Brook International.
Recognising the wide range of applications demands that fabrics are available in a wide choice of widths. This is also coupled to the ever-increasing choice of print machines that typically range in width from approximately 1.50m wide up to 5.00m wide at the extreme. There is a growing trend of dye-sub machines being manufactured at 3.00m wide in response to the market. Display fabrics at this width and many other widths are available from Brook International with a choice of over 20 different fabrics.
You may require fabrics for a relatively modest in-store display or as a backdrop behind mannequins in a shop window, overhead banners, or even a large-scale lightbox. In which case it is important to chose the correct display fabric with the right aesthetics, handle, surface effect, density, opacity, matt or shiny appearance to convey your message. These fabrics can be printed using many different technologies including dye-sub paper-transfer or direct-to-textile, UV or solvent.
Many display applications require fabrics to be flame retardant to satisfy the demands of specifiers, local fire officers or local regulations for use in public buildings. Brook International tests and hold fire certificates for all of the flame retardant fabrics offered. Copy certificates for any of the flame retardant display fabrics offered can be provided.
The following table shows all the fabrics that fall in to the category of display fabrics. Many of the fabrics are available in a choice of finishes including pure, Brook-7, Flame Retardant (FR) and Brook-7 FR. Some products are only available as a FR option and are identified as such. Certain fabrics can also be FR treated to order, please enquire. Where weights are given this is for guidance only.
