FAQ - Micro-perforated fabric: the elegant, hard-wearing solution for your outdoor installations

What is micro-perforated fabric and why use it?

Micro-perforated fabric, also known as mesh, is a technical support designed for outdoor installations. Its openwork structure allows air to circulate freely through the material, while maintaining a high-quality printable surface. This makes it highly resistant to wind, while ensuring that the visual is easy to read.

Used to measure, micro-perforated fabric offers an aesthetic, durable and functional response to the need for large-format displays in outdoor environments. Its balance of lightness, strength and elegance makes it ideal for facade projects, large-format banners and structural cladding.

Micro-perforated fabric has a number of technical and aesthetic advantages that make it the material of choice for demanding projects:

Weather resistance: thanks to its openwork structure, it limits wind load and reduces the risk of tearing.

Wide print width: it can be produced in an extended width (subject to stock availability), suitable for XXL formats.

Good colour fastness: even micro-perforated printing guarantees a clear, legible image from a distance.

Lightweight: easy to handle, deliver, install and dismantle, it is particularly suitable for temporary projects.

Sober, technical aesthetics: it blends elegantly into urban, commercial or event environments.

Printed in our French workshops using appropriate inks, this canvas is designed to combine visual impact with robustness.

Micro-perforated fabric is ideal where the visual is exposed to the wind or needs to be installed over large surfaces. Here are some typical applications:

Building facades or scaffolding: to dress up a building site, advertise an event or cover a wall undergoing renovation.

Cladding for pergolas, terraces or outdoor structures: to create a semi-shaded space while making a visual statement.

Large-format outdoor banners: suspended from masts, barriers, fences or facades.

Printed awnings and sun protection: enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of the fabric.

Open-air events: stands, festivals, temporary exhibitions.

In each case, EG Print will work with you to adapt the medium to the context, technical constraints and aesthetic expectations of the project.

Like all our materials, micro-perforated fabric is available in a range of finishes to suit your installation methods:

Metal eyelets for fixing with bungee cords or flexible ties,

Sewn seams to reinforce edges and prevent fraying,

Sleeves for a ballast bar or tubular structure,

Cut to your exact dimensions,

Installation of reinforcement tape in areas of tension.

These finishes ensure reliable, fast and durable installation, even in harsh outdoor conditions.

Yes, at EG Print we integrate eco-responsibility into all our print solutions.

Micro-perforated canvas is printed in France, in our workshops, using solvent-free inks that are compatible with a low-impact approach. Its longevity and ability to be folded, stored and reused make it a sustainable alternative for recurring displays.

And at the end of the cycle, we offer collection and recycling solutions to limit the waste associated with visual media. This is our way of supporting our customers' projects by giving them meaning as well as visibility.
