I believe it to be the plastic-y mesh like fabric. I have tried it on carpet I have extended it out 48 inches on my carpet and would trust it an additional 10 inches. All carpets are not the same. The carpet I used is Martinique 747 with appropriate pad.

Not so much fabric. It's hard to see, but it's actually small rough threads similar to burlap. They probably lightly sprayed it with glue, so it's rigid and durable but doesn't feel fake like plastic. I have tropical birds who climb on it without damage. Carpet depends. If its a flatter kind typical of most apartments it should stand fine if at least 1 panel is at a 90 degree angle or at least close. Thicker carpet probably wouldn't work unless you braced it with something. Also, it is semi-transparent. If your looking for privacy, you could probably find better. It's a great room divider though and adds nice character to a room. Not so much fabric. It's hard to see, but it's actually small rough threads similar to burlap.

Kinda of a open threaded Jute type material so more cotton/linen. We have not tried it on carpet, we have it extended to about 66" however, that is on a hardwood floor. My husband feels on carpet you could extend it to 50" on carpet safely.

It is great for decorating but It is not a privacy screen. the fabric has larger openings, easily to see through day or night. seems to be quit sturdy and stands well on carpeted floors. the fabric is highly starched and stiff. It can not be extended all the way and still stand on its own.

I would call it natural fabric but it is stiffened. It's not soft to the touch but appears to be fiber. The fabric does have openings in it; not solid. Definitely not plastic, rather an open-weave fabric somewhat like burlap but not as heavy and probably more open. Yes, it is sitting on a carpet. Each panel is about 16 inches wide and I got the 4 panel screen. Right now, only two of the panels are at an angle so I'd guess it's about 4-5 feet wide depending on your much of an angle you use.

Hi yes it is on carpet and so far no problems. The "fabric" is actually rice paper so it will let some light in. I am using it to hide storage in an alcove. Hope this answers your question.

I am not near the item right now.... but from memory it is a loose weave fabric. It is somewhat transparent. It is usable on carpet. I am using to screen my water heater, water softener, & water tank.

Yes, that's how I use these. a large window with 2 sides open from side-to-side. I placed these screens in front of the existing screens. this is to avoid my cat from ruining the existing screens. the width fit my particular window and I opened up the screen as far as it goes. I then taped a small piece of cardboard into the section where both pieces meet. It stays in place, has not fallen down. it's in the outside channel, so I can still open and close the window, if needed. Another brand, more expensive, comes with white instead of wood trim. i intend on painting the wood on mine, so it blends in with my window that faces the front street.

Quite fine...much closer to pantyhose than window screen. Have you tried making some lavender/rosemary sachets?

it all depends how you mount it. this is just the screen fabric. i built a shell out of 2x4s and stretched and stapled it so mine is permanent. if i were you i would look for a pull out one.

Depends on the fabric, but on my carpet I have had no issues. It states in the instructions how much to use and how to apply to area that is out of sight to check on whether it can be used or not. Plus it does a bag up job if your able to use it.

The screen needs to be clean and lint free... easy way to make sure lint free,after cleaning screen, use reg. scotch tape and place the tape over lapping till screen is covered and when you pull off the tape, you have pulled off anything left behind. I start from the bottom to get it lined up, just do a fraction of a inch and use the credit card to get out bubbles, then work to half way, rub out bubbles, just lay the cover in parts and remove bubbles as you go. or as you are laying down the cover use credit card same time to remove bubbles. Good Luck =)

Hi there, this is quilting fabric. It might be better to find some high thread count sheets. That would keep the fibers in... Not sure this would. Hope this helps.

I've used my projector with two different screen a 106" retractable screen from monoprice, and now a home made 145" screen using Seymour AV Center Stage UF fabric. The picture has looked great on both. Monoprice is great place to get cheap manufactured screens, or you can build your own out of fabric from Seymour AV or Carl's Place (I got my velvet masking material from them).

The closest fabric I can come to using to compare would be microfiber. I am not sure what fabric it is but it does not feel like vinyl. It does "poof" a little when you sit down on it, but I believe that is because of it's waterproof properties.

I would use a damp cloth with a mild cleaner to kind of dust off the fabric part of the screen. I dust the "iron" part of the screen with a dry cloth as it is metal.

Did not like the noise complaints of an inflatable screen, so we spent $14 on a king sized sheet, $4 on two sections of pvc pipe, and $3 on a roll of duck tape. Taped the pvc to the top and bottom of the sheet and surrounded the whole thing with tape. We did buy a high thread count sheet-it is perfect for the screen! We have used it with dvds and also Xbox 360 and netfllix.

This is woven fabric not a sheet of plastic. There is probably some risk of liquid chemicals soaking through and staining clothing.

Fairly sure it's cotton, definitely cloth not plastic. Slightly quilted too.

It's a thick cotton I'm guessing... kind of like you'd find in the home decor part of the fabric store...high quality!!!! Deff not cheap fabric!! :)

Its clearly a plastic type fabric. There is not a lot of give, in fact, i ripped my first one trying to force it onto my mattress.

The rice paper is very fragile. On the other hand, I have moved it a handful of times trying to get the screen in an aesthetically pleasing position and it's held up pretty well. Cats have a mind of there own though. Hope this helps.

I just looked at mine and it appears to be some kind of stretchy mesh on the four sides but it sure feels like plastic where it goes on the mattress. I'm not sure I detected any terry cloth but I could be wrong. To sum up, I'm kind of ambivalent about this cover. It seems like it would protect the Tempur-Pedic mattress below but it can feel "plasticky" under you and it does slide around on the mattress. Hope this helps.
