Velcro for beMatrix and exhibition walls – attach, adjust, reuse

Hook-and-loop fasteners for professional exhibition installations

beMatrix and similar modular systems for exhibition walls are designed to be reconfigured repeatedly. Tape that adheres too strongly can damage surface finishes and make reassembly difficult and costly. Hook-and-loop fasteners solve this problem: strong enough to hold, gentle enough not to damage, and reusable for the next stand.

How hook-and-loop fasteners work in an exhibition context

Hook-and-loop fasteners consist of two components: Hook (hard, prickly) and Loop (soft, plush). The Hook side is attached to the wall surface with a pressure-sensitive adhesive – to beMatrix aluminum rails, fabric walls, or other smooth surfaces. The Loop side is attached to the object to be hung. The result is a strong, adjustable fastening that separates with a simple pull and reattaches without losing strength.

Velcro® PS30 – branded hook-and-loop for the highest demands

Velcro® PS30 Hook-and-Loop Fastener – 20mm x 25mis the original hook-and-loop fastener from Velcro® with a more aggressive adhesive system and high cycle strength. Choose Velcro® PS30 when the installation needs to last a long time and be subjected to repeated opening and closing cycles. The standard 20mm format fits along beMatrix profiles and cables.

Hook-and-loop fastener 50mm – for banners and heavier panels

Hook-and-loop fastener 50mm x 25mprovides a high contact area and high tensile strength per linear meter – the standard choice for hanging fabric backdrops, banners, and information panels against beMatrix walls. Supplied in white and available in separate Hook and Loop rolls.

Hook-and-loop fastener 30mm – all-purpose for events

Hook-and-loop fastener 30mm x 25mis the most versatile format. Used for cable management, attaching lighter panels, and temporary fixing of display items against walls. Works equally well on fabric walls as on beMatrix rails.

Hook-and-loop fastener 20mm – for detail work and cable management

Hook-and-loop fastener 20mm x 25mis the narrowest variant and is used for precision work: attaching smaller details, cable bundles behind the stage, and fixing thin cables along the edges of profiles. Easy to cut and position precisely.

Practical tips for hook-and-loop fasteners on beMatrix

Clean the beMatrix rail before attaching the Hook tape – aluminum needs to be free of dust and fingerprints for the adhesive to grip properly. Use Hook-and-loop fastener 50mmin a double-row configuration for maximum heavy banners. Always place the Loop side against the wall and the Hook side against the object – this reduces the risk of the Hook side scratching the wall surface during dismantling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can hook-and-loop fasteners damage the beMatrix surface finish?
If the correct side is used (Loop against the wall, Hook against the object) and the surface is clean – no. More aggressive adhesive systems can leave residue if left on for a long time. Always test on a hidden area during initial assembly.

How many times can hook-and-loop fasteners be reused?
Quality hook-and-loop fasteners like Velcro® PS30can withstand hundreds of opening and closing cycles. Performance decreases if the Hook side collects lint from the Loop – clean regularly with a stiff brush.

What is the difference between Velcro® PS30 and standard hook-and-loop fasteners?
Velcro® PS30is a licensed branded product with controlled adhesive quality and high cycle strength. Standard hook-and-loop fasteners are more cost-effective for installations with lower requirements for repeated cycles.
