The principle
Decorative stretched wall is a particularly innovative process that involves stretching a textile fabric over a wall fitted with profiles. With no visible joints or seams, this canvas can be printed with a wide variety of visuals. Creative and infinitely customizable, an HD printed canvas literally transforms your interior design.
Visual benefits
Whether installed on stretch ceilings or walls, customized wall coverings transform the visual identity of your rooms:
- Top-of-the-range finishes: the canvas easily conceals wall defects, whether cracks, stains or irregularities.
- A homogeneous surface: unlike paper or paint, which don't always guarantee optimal rendering (brush or roller marks, visible joints), there are no demarcations.
- Space enhancement: thanks to the advantages of HD digital printing, the chosen visual and its colors are intense and perfectly defined. The contrasts, nuances and depth of the images add relief to the walls. Beyond the purely visual aspect, a personalized wall canvas can enhance the overall look of a room. In particular, it can make the room appear larger or even warmer.
Customization without limits
With a printed acoustic stretched wall, printing is guaranteed 100% made-to-measure. Whether it's a work of art, a personal photograph or a company logo, it's easy to immerse a room in a special world or give it its own identity.
Precise details
High-definition prints offer total immersion: vivid colors and remarkably precise details.

Materials used for a top-of-the-range finish
While the aesthetic appeal of printed wall coverings is of paramount importance, the durability of this solution also depends on the options chosen.
Design wall coverings: types of fabric
- Standard canvases: these are the most widespread and versatile. While they provide a smooth, even finish, they are above all the guarantee of a made-to-measure wall decoration.
- Acoustic stretched canvas: while decorative, acoustic stretched canvas is also synonymous with greater sound comfort. To make this possible, the fabric is combined with absorbent foam or a material that reduces sound reverberation. In this way, the acoustics of an entire room can be improved.
- Backlit canvas: for a more modern, designer look, the canvas is combined with an LED system. It's a simple, effective way of enhancing the visual and creating an even more immersive aesthetic. This technique is often used on commercial premises or those likely to be visited by the public.
Polyester mesh and PU coating: a winning combo
Materials, too, have a concrete impact on the rendering of a made-to-measure wall decoration.
Polyester mesh :
- it has the advantage of being very stable over time
- it withstands even the most difficult installation conditions, while ensuring optimum rendering
- perfectly compatible with HD digital printing
It can be made even more resistant by combining it with a polyurethane (PU) coating. More resistant to shocks and stains, the canvas offers an even smoother, more intense finish. Even in high-traffic areas and public spaces.

- the visuals chosen, their quality and the options selected (acoustic treatment or not, project-specific finishes),
- and finally, the complexity of installation.
In most cases, the installation of a printed stretched wall costs between €80 and €150/m².

FAQ: everything you need to know about printed stretched walls
What is a printed stretched wall?
A printed stretched wall is simply a canvas, customized with the image of your choice, then fixed to a system of wall-mounted profiles. Customizable and adaptable to any configuration, it makes it easy to transform a room and give it a modern, sophisticated aura, without heavy work.
Can a printed canvas be placed on a damaged wall?
Although a quick preparation of the wall is necessary before installing HD printed canvas, it is compatible with damaged surfaces. A printed stretched wall easily hides any roughness, giving a perfectly smooth, even finish.
Is it reversible or removable?
Simple to install, the printed stretched wall is also easy to remove. It's easy to remove, so you can enjoy bare walls again, or even replace the canvas with a completely new visual.
What image formats and resolutions are required?
For optimum rendering, it's important to supply high-definition images. In terms of formats, TIFF and PDF offer the best results.
What are the installation times?
Installation times vary according to the surface area of the stretched canvas wall being covered and the complexity of the configuration. Under standard conditions, you should allow half a day on average.
Can I clean the printed canvas?
Printed wall coverings are easy to clean, whatever the visual. A soft cloth is usually all that's needed.
