Tensioned Fabric Signage
When it comes to covering large and relatively flat surfaces with graphics, tensioned fabric signage is unparalleled in both its versatility and the finish it creates. A tensioned fabric sign is commonly printed on solid PVC; an ideal canvas which gives rise to endless creative possibilities in a full spectrum of vibrant colours. One of the great benefits of a spirit-flex banner is that once the framework is installed, the banner can be changed time and time again, allowing for regular re-branding and marketing updates.

How Spirit-Flex Banners Are Installed
Lavastar are one of the leading spirit-flex installers covering London and the rest of the UK (and Europe). Our experience has taught us that proper installation of tensioned fabric signage is of paramount importance should the banner have any longevity. The foundation of the tensioned PVC banner is the aluminium trim which the banner is fixed into. This trim must be installed to the façade which the banner will be covering, creating a large frame for it to be positioned in. It is crucial that the fixings of this aluminium trim are solid and plentiful, as they will need to withstand a huge amount of force once the banner is tensioned in place. Once the framework is installed, the banner is dropped from the highest point in the frame and gradually tensioned in place. The result is a drum-skin tight finish and hopefully some graphics which deliver great impact.
