Maintenance
Snap-Tex is maintenance-free! No additional maintenance is required for a Snap-Tex installation than required for any other wall treatment! The system itself is completely stable. Being inherently damage-resistant, it is unlikely that any component would ever need to be replaced.
Fabrics generally do not require much maintenance. If dust should accumulate, simple dusting or vacuuming is sufficient. In the odd case of sun fading, replace fabric from corner to corner, as with any other wall covering.
Cleaning or fabric repair should be done in accordance with the fabric manufacturer’s instructions. If the fabric is damaged beyond repair, simply replace the fabric without replacing any other component. This is especially helpful in elevator cabs or high traffic areas where the treatment is at pedestrian height.
Traditional upholstery cleaning methods can be used! This is not possible with the majority of acoustical panels and site built panel systems, as they are susceptible to damage from pedestrian pressure. On site cleaning can prove to be a very economical alternative to purchasing new fabric or to removing the existing fabric, having it dry cleaned, and then having it reinstalled.
