You can make them yourself simply foamex panels covered in self adhesive loop nylon – apply in similar fashion as if flood coating with vinyl.
All class 1 fire resistant so no probs

Haven’t used the above in a while so contacts may have changed if so please advise.
Remember to order self adhesive otherwise you have to glue it yourself which is more aggro.
my tip – hinge one edge and holding a scrunched up cloth smooth from side to side to apply like in one of robs vinyl app demos

Lorraine,
As John says J. W. Bollom are a good supplier for exhibition fabrics, I’ve used them for many years.
You will find that there are 2 kinds of loop nylon available, self adhesive and plain. Both require some patience to apply well. As with any fabric it will stretch so be careful. If you can get another pair of hands to help it will be an advantage, especially with the s/a. Once it touches the board it will be stuck, like cast vinyl onto hot shiny bodywork, and its very very difficult to reverse the situation.
If you opt for the plain material you will need some of their PVA adhesive, not sure if it will work on foam PVC.
If you use timber double coat it. The surface of the PVA must be tacky not wet, if it’s wet it will soak through the fabric and it looks terrible!
And finally, if you can try to cover the substrate with a similar colour as the fabric – black fabric over white substrate will show and if it gets stretched it looks worse.
Bollom do have a good tech backup if you need adviseSteve
