Surface Materials
A choice of surface materials.
Field Surface
A lightly cushioned, grip surface that keeps your book from shifting during use.
Choose for this surface for reading desks, pop-up displays, round-table showings, and private libraries — anywhere active handling is part of the picture. Our products come standard with this surface unless otherwise indicated.
Compatible with Hammocks for modularity between our Field and Museum surfaces – the best of both worlds.
Our Codex, Reading Room Cradle and Bookends come standard with this surface.
Museum Surface
A smooth, gentle surface for fragile and precious bindings in closed display.
The low friction protects delicate materials on contact — silks, embroidered and jewelled covers, dust jackets, and fragile spines — making it the right choice for rotating exhibitions in enclosed, well-ventilated cases.
This contact material is a closed-cell, crosslinked polyethylene foam. It can be applied directly to your products upon request.
Our Omnibus and Absolute models are supplied with this surface as standard.
Please request your preferred surface when ordering your STILT products.
