CoverTex textile walls
CoverTex is Zimmer + Rohde's textile wall covering system. Fabric is stretched into flexible rails fixed to the wall, as a full-surface alternative to wallpaper or as an accent wall, headboard or back panel. Specified with sound-absorbing fabrics it helps reduce reverberation, and with thermal fabrics or an optional Molton layer it adds insulation; it also conceals minor wall imperfections.
