Engineered from 100% solution dyed fibers, our Acoustical Collection wall fabric is needlebonded into a continuous structure, then finished with a heatset, latex back to ensure fiber lock. Designed to be soft and flexible as well as acoustically absorbent, but still hold up well in high-traffic areas. By nature it is "self healing", making it ideal for Tackable walls. Velcro compatible.

The Niagara IV line is made with recycled content, providing an enivronmentally friendly option in addition to its other advantages.
