Optimizing Performance from the Start
Dymetrol® Suspension Fabric, engineered by Acme Mills, delivers consistent comfort, ergonomic support, and long-term durability across a range of seating systems—from aerospace and automotive to office furniture and medical equipment. To fully harness these benefits, proper installation is essential.
Below, Acme Mills outlines field-proven best practices to ensure smooth integration and lasting performance of Dymetrol in your seating applications.
Best Practices for Integration and Installation
1. Cut Precisely for Performance and Durability
Ensure patterns are clean, measured, and aligned. The heat-set edges of Dymetrol are key to its tear resistance—avoid fraying or failure by:
✔ Using precision tools or automated cutting
✔ Leveraging Acme’s pre-cut panel or roll-form supply options
2. Maintain Uniform Tension
Proper stretch is critical for suspension efficiency. Achieve consistent load response and seat profile by:
✔ Utilizing jigs, manual levers, or automated tensioning tools
✔ Checking sag tolerance with test loads to validate performance
3. Pre-Attach Upholstery for Streamlined Assembly
Speed up final assembly by integrating upholstery early:
✔ Attach covers or minimal foam directly to Dymetrol panels before frame install
✔ Ensures correct alignment and maintains Dymetrol’s natural breathability
4. Build in Quality Assurance Steps
Catch installation issues before they scale:
✔ Inspect for twists or improper monofilament direction
✔ Verify tension uniformity and edge integrity
✔ Simulate thermal cycles to ensure performance across environments
5. Use Reinforced Brackets and Edges
For commercial, medical, or rugged environments:
✔ Include sewn-in edge reinforcements or steel bracket mounts
✔ Prevent slippage or edge failure under repeated stress
6. Train, Document, and Standardize
Success scales with knowledge:
✔ Use detailed install manuals and videos to onboard new staff
✔ Acme Mills offers onboarding assistance and support to streamline integration
