Storage of Tapestries



For the storage of our tapestries and carpets I use aluminium rollers with a diameter of 10 cm, cut to various length up to 6m. The rollers are padded with PE-padding and enveloped in cotton material. For some objects the diameter so achieved is still too small or the surface gets too soft. I am looking for a material (and European supplier) that could be safely used to add thickness to the rollers. It should be lightweight, not too soft and inexpensive. It also has to come as an “endless” material not in sheets like Ethafoam, which could otherwise be ideal. Thanks.
