Make your outdoor displays easier to maintain – fabric tensioning systems

In visual communication, outdoor displays are one of the main ways businesses make themselves visible to the public. However, they are constantly exposed to the weather and other external damage, which can make them difficult to maintain. Fortunately, ISERMATIC fabric tensioning systems make this job much easier.

How fabric tensioning works

Fabric tensioning systems work by applying a balanced force to the banner’s various fixing points, so that it holds firm in all conditions. This is usually done with metal or textile tensioners, which can be adjusted to spread the tension evenly across the whole surface of the banner.

Benefits for outdoor displays

ISERMATIC fabric tensioning systems offer several major advantages:

  • Greater weather resistance: Well-tensioned fabric stands up better to wind, rain and snow. It does not lose its shape, so it keeps its original appearance even after several years outdoors.
  • Self-cleaning effect: Because the banner is evenly tensioned, dirt and debris tend to slide off the surface naturally, making it harder for dust to build up on the display.
  • Quick and easy installation: ISERMATIC systems are designed to be quick and simple to install, cutting the time needed to put up an outdoor display. Taking it down when needed is just as easy.

Tips for maintaining your tensioned fabric outdoor displays

While ISERMATIC systems make looking after your outdoor displays much easier, a few simple steps are still needed to keep them in good condition for years:

  • Check the tension regularly: Over time, you may need to adjust the tension slightly to compensate for variations caused by changes in temperature or humidity.
  • Remove ingrained dirt carefully: If some marks remain despite the self-cleaning effect of the tensioning system, use a soft brush and clean water to remove them without damaging the surface of the banner.
  • Store dismantled components properly: If you need to take down a display temporarily, make sure the profiles and tensioners are stored somewhere dry and dust-free. This will prevent premature wear of the components.

The future of ISERMATIC fabric tensioning systems

ISERMATIC is constantly developing new solutions to make tensioned fabric outdoor displays even easier to maintain. Current areas of research include:

  • Innovative materials: Technical textiles or specific coatings could further increase the durability and UV resistance of banners.
  • Improved fixing systems: More effective mechanisms that are even simpler to install are currently being studied.
  • Customised solutions: To meet each customer’s specific needs, ISERMATIC is also working on made-to-measure offers combining different tensioning, mounting and finishing options.

Whether for their appearance, their weather resistance or their easy maintenance, ISERMATIC fabric tensioning systems are an ideal way to get the most out of your outdoor displays.
