Eclipse Wallcoverings end supply of fibre glass wallcoverings to Tektura
In the ever-evolving world of wallcoverings, shifts in supply and production can reshape entire segments of the design industry. One such change is the news that Eclipse Wallcoverings will no longer be supplying its exclusive fibreglass wallpapers to Tektura, a move that marks the end of a twenty plus year relationship.
So, why the change and what does it mean for architects, designers, facilities managers and commercial contractors?
The decision taken by Eclipse to end this relationship comes down to evolving business directions and market demands. Eclipse is, and has been for some time, focusing its efforts on direct supply and expanding its own distribution networks.
This change enables them to offer better service and support whilst being more cost effective to the end user. The parting of ways is not due to a decline in demand for fibreglass wallpapers themselves, in fact quite the opposite. More professional specifiers and end users are seeing the full benefits of the Glasstex range of fibre glass wallcoverings.
Eclipse Wallcoverings has long been known for its robust, high-quality fibreglass wallcoverings, under their trademark Glasstex branded products. These wallcoverings have been a staple for commercial interiors. Prized for their durability, fire resistance, and ability to reinforce and protect walls while providing a smooth, paintable surface.
Architects and designers have turned to Glasstex when working on projects ranging from hotels and hospitals toschools and offices — anywhere that calls for resilient walls that can withstand heavy traffic without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.
For many years Tektura has been a distributor of Eclipse’s fibreglass products, making them accessible to designers across the UK. The inclusion of fibre glass wallcoverings within their offering has been a trusted solution for specifiers seeking robust and reliable finishes. For designers and contractors who have previously specified fibreglass wallpapers through Tektura this change means an easier and more straight forward way of specifying products.
Eclipse Wallcoverings stock all products in the UK, ready for 24/48 hour distribution, plus offer a broader choice of designs and sampling service. All Glasstex products are exactly the same as those supplied previously to Tektura, and Eclipse will continue to distribute its exclusive fibreglass ranges across the UK.
Transitions like this can feel disruptive, but they also open doors for new collaborations and product developments. For designers, it’s an opportunity to re-evaluate project needs and discover fresh wallcovering solutions that blend performance with cutting-edge design. For Eclipse it’s a chance to strengthen their individual brands and deepen their commitment to serving the design community in new ways.
While Eclipse’s fibreglass wallcoverings may no longer be available through Tektura, their legacy remains and the market for robust, hardwearing wallcoverings continues to thrive. As the industry adapts, one thing is certain: the wallswe create today must still stand the test of time, just as they always have.
