 HOOK RECEPTIVE FABRICS…

THE WONDERS OF VELTEX AND WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT…..

 There are many colours available in the Veltex fabric.  Amoungst these colours are Chromakey Green and Chromakey Blue and Glow Lime. These colours are designed for the Filming Industry.

These special fabrics absorb reflective light and provide you with the ability to digitally remove the background and put a different scene into your films.

 

The term “Green Screen” is used to describe a camera and editing trick. A large piece of the Veltex fabric  is placed behind a scene, and it contains a color that is not present elsewhere in the shot. The color is typically a bright shade of blue or green. During the editing session, the green screen color is keyed out of the scene.

V Tapes has Green screen material in 4 metres wide, and the Veltex fabric at 1.5 metres wide. 

Not only can Veltex provide film backdrops but it is also used for Display purposes at Exhibits and in Advertising.

HOOK RECEPTIVE FABRICS – GREAT FOR SCHOOLS AND CRAFTS….. 

A growing number of schools are transforming their classroom, lecture hall, auditorium, and hallway walls into vibrant, multipurpose, functional surfaces by installing unique fabric wall covering systems.

By adding these wall systems, they are not only personalizing and enlivening drab spaces, but also improving the learning environment while eliminating a major source of routine maintenance and re-painting.

“Teachers like to display student work as inspiration, and staple student work or study aids to the classroom walls from floor to ceiling, which can require frequent wall touch up,”

By using Velcro Receptive Exposhow fabric or any of VTAPES Velcro Receptive materials you can just use Velcro hook tape to display students work, it is Quick, easy and future friendly. Not only does it eliminate the need to re paint or get nasty blue-tac or staples out of walls or upholstery fabric. It is 100% reusable time and time again. 

When staples, tacks or tape or blue-tac are used as a fastening method this inevitably takes a toll on painted or upholstered walls. This necessitates lots of maintenance every two to three years. 

Lots of Schools and Kindergartens around New Zealand have decided  to install V Tapes fabric wall coverings from our huge range of options.

And what is more you can install many of the options yourselves.

There are various options to choose from. 

Peel n Stick Composition Tiles are fast and easy – just peel off the backing paper and stick them to the wall!   Apply some pressure and you are done! 

The above picture shows a School Admin wall which has used Peel N Stick Composition tiles to create an Acoustic feature wall.

V Tapes Ribbed fabric or Exposhow fabric can easily be cut into shapes and other artistic craft work.

You can even make the above “Welcome back to School” sign by cutting out any of V Tapes fabrics and velcro hooking them to the Black Velcro Receptive background panel !  Lots of fun for Children and teachers too! 

V Tapes Fabrics provide fast and easy mounting methods. 

Exposhow fabric is 2000 mm wide and can be glued down with PVA Glue or 3M Spray Glue to 

3 mm Hardboard, Custom-board or similar and easily attached to the wall by the School Caretaker. 

The Peel n Stick Composition tiles have a backing which absorbs sound rather than reflecting it. This reduces echoes and reverberations and makes it easier to hear and understand speech or audio with greater clarity.

When school administrators want to refresh the walls or even change the colors the fabric can be replaced by school maintenance personnel and the only cost is for the new fabric itself.

V Tapes Ribbed and Exposhow fabric is very long lasting when used in conjunction with hook velcro tapes.  These fabrics do not fluff up like some fabrics can do. 

By using V Tapes fabrics you can have years of creative fun on your classroom walls.
