Indoor · Acoustic Wall System
TensionCore™
Precision-tensioned acoustic wall system engineered for sport and performance environments. Direct-mount to CMU or structural substrates. High absorption, clean architectural lines, and customizable fabric finishes for indoor and covered-outdoor applications.
Engineered for Performance Environments
Four engineering principles that separate TensionCore from traditional fabric wall systems.
Engineered High-Tension Surface
Uniform fabric tension across large spans for a clean, flat, monolithic appearance — no sag, no waves, no compromise.
Rotating Compression-Lock Profile
Two-piece hinged track rotates from open to closed, locking fabric in place. Positive locking and full unlock capability for service access.
Direct-Mount to CMU or Substrates
Designed to install directly on concrete masonry units, drywall, or structural substrates — no furring or framing required.
Customizable Fabric Finishes
Hundreds of fabric options. Field-replaceable fabric — swap the look without rebuilding the wall. Approved as an equal to most specified fabric-wall systems.
How the Hinged Track Works
TensionCore's two-piece design is what makes it different. The base track installs first, anchoring the system to the substrate. The outer profile snaps into the base, forming a working hinge on one side and a locking catch on the other.
Fabric placed over the outer edge stretches as the profile rotates from open to closed — locking taut and uniform across the full span. Need access for service or a fabric refresh? The same profile unlocks cleanly without damaging the install.
The result: a clean, flat, monolithic wall with high acoustic absorption — and the ability to swap the fabric whenever you want.
Seven Edge Profile Options
Specify the profile that matches your design intent — square, radius, or bevel — across three depth options.
1-1/16" Square Edge
1-1/16" Radius Edge
1-1/16" Bevel Edge
9/16" Square Edge
9/16" Radius Edge
7/16" Square Edge
1-1/16" profiles work with 1" acoustical substrate. The extra 1/16" helps cover irregularities in panel thickness.
Installation in Three Disciplined Steps
Track first, then fabric, then corners. Master the sequence and the results are repeatable.
01
Track
Install verticals first, then horizontals. Butt joints bridged by the outer track for a seamless length. Strategic setbacks at corners create the cavity that hides excess fabric.
02
Fabric
Position fabric along the topmost track, follow the thread line, and trim to 1.5–2 inches beyond the edge. Fold under the outer profile and rotate-close to tension and lock.
03
Corners
Pull excess diagonally into the corner cavity. Use a dull broadknife to push fabric cleanly against outside edges. For inset panels, use the float, sash-cord, or open-track techniques in the install guide.
Where TensionCore Performs
From sports arenas to home theaters — anywhere a clean, tensioned, acoustically active wall surface is required.
