Sensible Sustainability
At Fabricmate Systems we understand and share the concerns about people and the planet we live on. Our manufacturing processes are safe and ecologically responsible. Our materials come from sustainable resources. We use Post-Consumer Content as often as possible and we are proud to say that our products are VOC free.
We Share Your Concerns
We pay particular attention to safety and environmental issues, such as sustainability, longevity, LEED ratings, VOCs and flammability. Our Wall Finishing Systems are safe, long-lasting and are designed to improve our quality of life but in the immediate and long-term.
More Than Just Value Engineering
Our belief is to use only what is necessary, whether it be recommending a smaller amount of coverage, a changed layout or a recycled product that can achieve the desired result. After all “Green” is not just a color but a conscious awareness of our choices. Through this awareness manufacturers, architects, designers, contractors, and end-users can all make a difference.
Reduce Maintenance Costs
With it’s long life span and zero VOC emissions, FabricMate’s Wall Finishing Systems will help both the end user and the environment. Constant Repainting or replacing of wrapped panels is not only expensive and wasteful, it is time consuming and inconvenient. Fabricmate’s Wall Finishing Systems virtually eliminate the need for repainting and wall maintenance.
Made from post-consumer recycled materials from sustainable sources, Fabricmate’s Wall Finishing Systems are not glued to the core as normal wrapped panels are. The coverings ‘float’ over the surface, held in place by track jaws allowing for easy and inexpensive changeability without needing to change the core material or frame.

Make A Difference
Choosing environmentally responsible products, achieving sustainability, and earning LEED credits starts in the planning stage when decisions are made. You don’t always have the same options later in the project.
Sustainability and environmental choices start in the planning stages (when decisions are made). This can be the most important time to decide the conceptual use of the products and amounts needed to achieve your desired final look and function. We look forward to assisting with these decisions.

Key Features and Benefits

Acoustical
Loosely Woven, allowing for air to pass through
This fabric is great for using in acoustically sensitive applications. Panels being used to absorb unwanted noise should be faced with a fabric that, like this one, has an open weave that freely allows air to pass through it.
Fabrics that have been treated with anything heavier than a 0.5 oz sprayed acrylic backing will generally be poor in acoustic applications.
Our Featured Acoustic Fabrics
FR701 Acoustic Fabrics
Guilford of Maine's FR701 acoustic fabric is made from 100% post-consumer recycled Polyester to produce a high-quality acoustical fabric that is recyclable at the end of its useable life.
Anchorage Acoustic Fabrics
Guilford of Maine's Anchorage acoustic fabric is made from 35% post-consumer and 65% pre-consumer polyester to produce a high-quality acoustical fabric that is recyclable at the end of its useable life.
Studio 54 Acoustic Fabrics
Guilford of Maine's Studio 54 acoustic fabrics are made from 100% Polypropylene and are pre-treated with Polyester Binder, a fabric stabilizer which prevents fraying and increases durability making it the ideal acoustical fabric for high-traffic areas.

Tackable
This Fabric has proven to work well when repeatedly tacked
• It is Self-Healing
• Has a Plain-Weave Construction
• It Boasts Durable Fibers
• Leaves No Visible Holes
Use them in commercial and home offices, conference rooms, schools, kid’s rooms, modular workstations, hallways and anywhere you need to tack documents, pictures, notes, anything!

High-Impact
Hold up to over 50,000 Double Rubs
This fabric is great for use in high-traffic environments where long-lasting durability is needed. Panels being used as wall-protection should be faced with a High-Impact Fabric. High-Impact Fabrics can be expected to last in high-traffic environments for over 15 years.
A double rub is a motion that approximates the wear and tear that comes from someone sitting down on and getting up from an upholstered seat.
Regular use for a year is around 3,000 double rubs.

Recycled
Made from at-least 60% post-consumer products
This fabric has been made from at least 60% post-consumer products. Recycling discarded beverage bottles and other plastics helps to reduce waste. These fabrics are recyclable, themselves.
Recycled fabrics are often eligible for LEED Certification points.

Fire Rated
Certified to meet national & local fire codes
Having a fabric treated with a fire retardant DOES NOT guarantee that the fabric will meet ASTM E-84 Unadhered unless the fabric is treated AND THEN tested by an accredited tested facility.
The only test procedure that is acceptable by the national building codes for establishing the Class for a stretch fabric application is the ASTM E84 Unadhered (Steiner Tunnel Test).

VOC Free
Free of Volatile Organic Compounds
This fabric has been certified free of VOC's.
VOC's have been proven to cause compounding long-term health issues, especially indoors.
Nearly all of our fabrics are VOC Free.
Our Fabric Wall Finishing Systems benefit from an array of advantages. They don’t just look fantastic, they provide a whole array of functional benefits.
They absorb reverberated sound, providing acoustic control to lessen the amount of noise in a room. They protect and adorn your walls, providing high-impact wall protection while serving as a tackable surface, giving the same functionality as a bulletin board without sacrificing aesthetics.

Sensible Sustainability
ReCore® is a revolutionary new insulation made from 100% non-woven polyester fiber. It is the environmentally responsible alternative to the usual unsafe and unsustainable substrates on the market today. ReCore® is semi-rigid and incredibly lightweight. It is impact-resistant and tackable yet retains excellent acoustical properties suitable for any wall or ceiling application. It is free of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde and is non-hygroscopic, anti-microbial and anti-fungal.
ReCore® can be used as an acoustical insulation and as a tackable/pinnable surface. It's impact-resistance makes it an excellent choice for durable wall protection. It is thermally insulating and sound dampening. There is nothing like it on the market.
Because ReCore® is made of 100% recyclable polyester it is far more cost effective as a substrate than virtually any other material and has excellent sustainability. When it comes to other building materials ask yourself: Are they sustainable? Are they made from recycled content and also recyclable? Do they hold up against moisture? Are they safe to handle? When it comes to ReCore®, the answer is YES!

100% Recyclable
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source. It curbs discards, thereby prolonging landfill life and reducing toxic emissions from incinerators. It helps promote new recycling streams for polyester clothing that is no longer wearable. It also results in less air, water, and soil contamination compared to using non-recycled polyester.
VOC Free
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short and long term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands. Examples include: paints and lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, pesticides, building materials and furnishings, office equipment such as copiers and printers, correction fluids and carbonless copy paper, graphics and craft materials including glues and adhesives, permanent markers, and photographic solutions.
ReCore® has zero VOC's. Unlike other products that may use chemicals with VOCs, ReCore® is completely safe in enclosed environments.
Anti-Microbial & Anti-Fungal
The compacted non-woven polyester mesh that makes up ReCore® is naturally resistant to insects, spores and bacteria. It provides little room for insects to hide and has zero nutritional value for them giving even less incentive for them to try and make it their home. Because polyester is anti-microbial and non-hydroscopic it is used in a wide variety of fields where safety is of the utmost concern. Hospitals provide hypo-allergenic polyester bedding to patients and have started using it in their staff clothing to help reduce the spread of bug-born infections. The safest form of plastic food storage is in PET plastic, which is a type of polyester.
Made from 65% Post-Consumer Content
Using post-consumer recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source. It curbs discards, thereby prolonging landfill life and reducing toxic emissions from incinerators. It helps promote new recycling streams for polyester clothing that is no longer wearable. It also results in less air, water, and soil contamination compared to using non-recycled polyester. All those discarded bottles of water and bits of plastic packaging are not taking up space in landfills. They are being recycled, reused, and reconstituted into something far more useful.
