KINETICS® StretchTRAK™ is a site-built stretch fabric acoustic wall and ceiling system used to reduce echo and reverberation while maintaining a seamless architectural finish. The system combines a concealed flexible track, project-specific absorptive or diffusive acoustic cores and tensioned fabric selected to suit the interior design. Kinetics Group supports StretchTRAK acoustic projects across the UAE, GCC, Middle East and MENA region.
Engineered for Performance.
Seamless Stretch Fabric Acoustic Walls and Ceilings
KINETICS® StretchTRAK™ is a site-built stretch fabric acoustic wall and ceiling system designed to reduce echo, control reverberation and improve sound quality without exposing conventional acoustic panels.
The system conceals selected sound absorbers, low-frequency treatments or acoustic diffusers behind large, often seamless runs of architectural fabric. It creates a clean upholstered finish that can blend discreetly into the interior or become a prominent design feature using colour, texture, curves and customised panel layouts.
Kinetics Group supports StretchTRAK selection and project coordination across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, the wider GCC, Middle East and MENA region.
How the StretchTRAK™ System Works
StretchTRAK uses a concealed perimeter and seam-track framework installed directly onto prepared walls or ceilings. The required acoustic core is placed within the tracked areas, after which acoustically suitable fabric is tensioned and tucked securely into the track.
The completed surface hides the acoustic treatment while maintaining clean lines, precise joints and coordinated architectural detailing. The system can follow straight surfaces, form curves and integrate around doors, screens, millwork, lighting, switches, ventilation grilles and other interior features.
The acoustic treatment behind the fabric is selected according to the room’s reverberation criteria, frequency-control requirements, architectural design and available system depth.
System Components
A typical StretchTRAK installation includes:
Sound-absorption cores are available in thicknesses from approximately 1 inch to 4 inches. The standard track profile is approximately 1⅛ inches deep and can be furred out where deeper acoustic assemblies are required.
Track Profiles and Design Options
The flexible StretchTRAK polymer track allows the acoustic finish to conform to straight walls, curved surfaces, corners, ceilings and complex architectural features.
Available profile approaches include:
The system can create large uninterrupted fabric areas, individual framed sections, repeated geometric layouts, curved transitions or coordinated feature walls. Fabric can be selected to resemble a conventional painted wall or provide a distinctive decorative finish.
Acoustic Performance
StretchTRAK does not have one fixed acoustic rating because performance is determined by the acoustic core, system depth, treated surface area, mounting arrangement and room design.
The system can conceal different acoustic treatments to address:
Final core selection, thickness, treatment quantity and placement should follow the acoustic consultant’s design, room calculations or project-specific acoustic measurements.
Applications
StretchTRAK fabric-covered acoustic wall and ceiling systems are suitable for:
StretchTRAK™ Versus Prefabricated Acoustic Panels
Prefabricated fabric-wrapped acoustic panels are manufactured in predetermined sizes and mounted individually. StretchTRAK is constructed on site, allowing the acoustic finish to cover larger areas and accommodate curves, corners, millwork and complex architectural details.
StretchTRAK is particularly suitable where the designer requires:
For projects requiring removable individual panels rather than a site-built system, view the KINETICS® HardSide fabric-wrapped acoustic panels.
Acoustic Treatment Versus Soundproofing
StretchTRAK is primarily a room-acoustic treatment. It absorbs or redirects reflected sound within the room to control echo, reverberation and sound quality.
It does not, by itself, prevent sound from passing through walls, ceilings, floors, doors or mechanical services. Projects requiring sound isolation may also need isolated wall and ceiling assemblies, acoustic doors, floating floors, resilient isolation systems, acoustic barriers and HVAC sound attenuators.

Why Specify StretchTRAK™ from Kinetics Group?
StretchTRAK combines engineered room-acoustic treatment with architectural flexibility. Unlike generic fabric-covered boards, the system allows project-specific absorbers and diffusers to be integrated behind a coordinated wall or ceiling finish.
StretchTRAK™ is more than a decorative fabric wall. It is an engineered, site-built acoustic system that allows absorbers, lower-frequency treatments and diffusers to be selected for the room’s specific acoustic requirements, then concealed behind a coordinated architectural fabric finish. The flexible track system supports large surfaces, precise seams, crisp corners and curved detailing across walls and ceilings.

A stretch fabric acoustic wall system uses concealed tracks to hold tensioned architectural fabric over sound-absorbing or diffusing acoustic materials. It controls room reverberation while creating a clean, integrated wall or ceiling finish.
StretchTRAK is a site-built fabric-covered acoustic wall and ceiling system. It combines flexible polymer tracks, selected acoustic cores and tensioned fabric to provide project-specific sound control and architectural finishing.
Yes. When fitted with a suitable sound-absorbing core, StretchTRAK reduces reflected sound and excessive reverberation. Final performance depends on the selected core, thickness, surface coverage and room design.
Yes. StretchTRAK can be installed on walls and ceilings, subject to suitable substrates, approved fixing details and specialist installation.
Yes. The flexible polymer track can conform to curved surfaces and can be coordinated around corners, door frames, millwork and other architectural features.
The standard track profile is approximately 1⅛ inches deep. The assembly can be furred out for deeper acoustic treatments, and sound-absorption cores can range from approximately 1 to 4 inches thick.
Yes. Depending on the project, StretchTRAK can conceal conventional absorbers, lower-frequency treatments, diffusers or combined absorber-diffuser products.
The fabric can be removed and replaced by an experienced stretch-fabric installer, subject to the condition of the existing track, acoustic core and surrounding finishes.
No. StretchTRAK primarily controls sound reflections inside a room. Soundproofing between spaces requires appropriately designed walls, ceilings, floors, doors and service penetrations.
Typical applications include cinemas, home theatres, studios, boardrooms, auditoriums, schools, hospitality interiors, houses of worship and specialist AV rooms.
Yes. Kinetics Group supports StretchTRAK acoustic wall and ceiling system requirements across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, the UAE, GCC, Middle East and MENA region.
Kinetics Group supports acoustic consultants, architects, AV specialists and contractors with StretchTRAK system selection, acoustic-core coordination, track detailing, fabric review, installation planning and technical submittals. Final system performance must be confirmed using the approved room-acoustic design, project drawings and applicable KINETICS® technical documentation.
The concealed polymer track is fixed around the required wall or ceiling area. It can be formed around corners, curves, door frames, millwork and other architectural features.
The project-specific absorption or diffusion treatment is fitted inside the tracked area. Core selection depends on the frequencies to be controlled and the required room-acoustic performance.
The selected fabric is stretched across the treated area and tucked into the track. Correct tensioning creates smooth surfaces, crisp edges and precise seams.
StretchTRAK is a specialist field-installed system. Installation should be completed by an experienced stretch-fabric acoustic installer using approved technical details, suitable substrates and coordinated setting-out drawings.
