Tensioned wire grid specialists Slingco exhibit at LDI for the first time in Orlando, showcasing their renowned CABLEnet system.

CABLEnet is a completely custom tensioned wire grid system, designed and engineered to fit the exact space and specifications required by the venue - making it unique to the US market.

Slingco highlights the flexibility and scope offered by a completely tailor made solution, along with its range of services, which include a complete design and installation package.

Slingco, well known throughout Europe, opened its first US office in Atlanta in July 2006.

CABLEnet

Slingco was the first British-based company to design, manufacture and install a tension wire grid and is the UK market leader in this innovative technology.

The CABLEnet system is created by weaving and tensioning high tensile steel cable within a frame, which is then hoisted to the required level in a theatre or concert hall and fixed to the building. This creates a totally safe ‘virtual floor' on which lighting, audio and AV technicians and riggers can work in complete confidence.

Almost invisible from ground level, the grid also has the key benefit of creating no shadows when lighting fixtures positioned above it are shone through to the stage, studio or auditorium below.

CABLEnet is incredibly flexible. Slingco will be highlighting its ‘custom woven on site' version at LDI, which can accommodate any layout or room shape. (The system is also available in modular formats).

CABLEnet can be installed around features such as columns, pillars and arches, and sleeves can be incorporated into the mesh allowing the movement of cable-controlled equipment through the wire grid platform.

Recent Slingco CABLEnet installations include Danshogskolan at the University College of Dance, Stockholm, Sweden and Amersfoort Theatre, Holland.
