What Is Velcro Receptive Fabric?
Velcro receptive fabric is a fabric surface designed to receive the hook component of a hook-and-loop fastening system.
The small hooks on the back of compatible Velcro products catch onto the fibres of the fabric, allowing items to be attached without permanently fixing them to the surface.
This makes Velcro receptive fabric particularly useful for applications where displays, signs, samples or other items need to be moved or replaced regularly.
It is also commonly described as:
- Velcro receptive carpet
- Velcro friendly fabric
- Hook-and-loop receptive fabric
- Display fabric
- Display wall carpet
- Front Runner fabric
- 4-way stretch carpet
- Wall fabric
At McMats, our Front Runner fabric is commonly used for these types of applications.
