Fabric-covering accessories

Accessories for aircraft fabric covering: performance, precision and reliability

Fabrication accessories are essential for ensuring the quality, durability, and safety of your aircraft fabrication operations. When used in conjunction with technical fabrics, they ensure optimal application, a flawless finish, and long-term performance that meets manufacturers’ requirements.

As a global leader in aircraft fabric, our unique expertise and comprehensive control over the entire manufacturing process enable us to offer solutions that are recognised and used by the industry’s most demanding professionals.

Designed for light aviation professionals (ULM, CNRA, AUL), our line of accessories covers every step of the process: preparation, installation, tensioning, finishing, and maintenance.

Our range of equipment for fabric covering

Digital canvas mounting iron

Allows for the tensioning of heat-shrinkable fabrics (DIATEX 1000, 1500, 2000).

Precise temperature control: controlled and safe heat shrinkage
Enables gradual and uniform tensioning
Reduced risk of overheating or structural deformation
Ideal for achieving a perfectly taut, wrinkle-free finish

Inspection hatch (obturator cover)

Aluminum access cover (Ø 12 cm), with a riveted, integrated spring-loaded latch that allows quick access to internal areas for inspection and maintenance.

Integrated system: secure and durable closure
Aluminum: corrosion resistance and light weight
Facilitates inspection procedures without damaging the fabric

Evacuation holes

Technical textile components (Diacov 100) integrated into the structure to ensure ventilation and water drainage.

Enables the effective removal of moisture and condensation
Reduces the risk of corrosion, mold, and internal deterioration
Contributes to the overall durability of the structure

Mounting for sleeves and rotary sleeve

High-density rotary sleeves paired with holders (24, 39, and 42 cm), designed for applying coatings, particularly the SOLO.

Even and consistent application of the plaster
Frame resistant to nitrocellulose coatings
Saves time and reduces marks or excess material

FFP2 masks

Respiratory protective masks compliant with the EN 149:2001+A1:2009 standard, bearing the CE marking (European Directive 89/686/EEC), designed to filter solid and liquid particles suspended in the air.

Effective protection against fine dust, toxic dust, and aerosols
Protection against certain acidic gases and light organic vapors (solvents, cleaners)
Ensures the operator’s safety during the fabric-laying, sanding, and paint solvent application phases, etc.

Larding thread and needles

High-strength braided polyester threads (500-meter spools) used with straight or curved needles of various lengths, designed for lacing the fabric onto the frame.

High mechanical strength: reliable fabric support over time
Polyester: resistance to moisture and weather Conditions
Wide selection of needles: suitable for all structural configurations

A complete range of products for professional canvas mounting

Our wallpapering accessories are designed to support every stage of the process, from surface preparation to the finishing touches.

Operator safety

Application quality

Structural durability

Ease of maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions

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
