    Why use specialised accessories for stretching canvas?

    Fabric lining is not simply a matter of applying a piece of fabric: it is a demanding technical process that requires precision and skill.

    Accessories play a key role in:

    • Ensuring the mechanical strength of backed surfaces
    • Optimizing the quality of the finish (appearance, uniformity, adhesion)
    • Ensuring durability in the face of environmental stresses
    • Facilitating application and reducing the risk of errors

    Fabric reinforcement is a structural step: it stiffens, stabilizes, and maintains the shape of the treated surfaces
