Tensile structures are highly in demand due to its feature. These are flexible enough to provide various types of structures requires for different places. These are light weighted so easily taken for various places of construction. It is cost effective and will take less cost of maintenance. The tensile structure can easily provide different types of structure includes stayed structure, suspended structure, anticlastic structure, pneumatic structure, trussed structure.

Tensile structure are very beneficial at different places auditorim, stadium, walkways, resort, hotels, café, mall, car parking, theater, swimming pool, patio shadow and other commercial and living places. These can be used for temporary basis as for tents. The material used for it is long lasting and can be recycle. These element are water proof and resist from fire. These takes less time in cleaning and east to clean.

The use of tensile fabric structure

The use of tensile fabric structures can be adopted in various situations. When compared with traditional structures they utilized less material equipment for giving lightweight complexion and are very easy to transport. In addition to that, they also have the flexibility to meet the demands. Being light in weight they can easily find used in different structures like skylights, canopies, atrium roofs, etc. It is used as a different form for conventional buildings so as to provide a showpiece element. It can easily facilities by using column-free span or wide spans as well. When there is a need for modular buildings along with metal frames. In case if the building needs to move from one location to another.

FAQ (Frequently Ask Question)

Tenssile Structure

Tensile fabric structure - A structure that is characterised of the membrane system (typically with wire or cable) to provide the critical structural support to the structure.

It can hold many forms, although it is generally based on two basic building blocks - The Saddle and The Cone. This creates dramatic and structural architectural works, offering a wide variety of free form design and roof structures. The tensioning of the fabric eliminates any creases in the fabric and creates the strength for the material to withstand any severe weather and potential damage.

Flexible Design Aesthetics
Outstanding Translucency
Excellent Durability
Lightweight Nature
Low Maintenance Cost

How long will a tensile structure last?

This will depend on the materials used. So 35-40 years if you specify a PTFE or silicon coated glass cloth - otherwise 15-20 years for PVDF coated membranes. The structural steel frame and cables should perform upwards of 40 years. To keep the structure looking at its best and operating safely, some routine bi-annual maintenance will be required.

When to use a tensile fabric structure?

Tensile fabric structures can be used in a variety of situations. They use less material than traditional structures and as a result, they weigh less and are easier to transport. They are flexible and can be specifically tailored to meet your requirements and provide shade or shelter. In addition to the required practicality elements, tensile fabric structures are a showpiece feature that offer an impressive focal point.

Where to use a tensile structure?

When you need a showpiece element that stands out and is different from conventional buildings. This can be as a signature urban object or a building icon. When you need a wide span or column free span.

Tensile fabric structures can span unsupported lengths of up to 150 feet and tensile steel cable nets with fabric can easily span twice that amount. Air structures can span even longer distances with column free structures up to thousands of feet.

When your building has to move from one location to another during the lifespan of your facility, such as temporary schools, travelling exhibits, etc.

When you need a prefab modular building. Metal frame with tensioned fabric panels are the most cost effective modular frame buildings available today. As lightweight additions to existing or conventions buildings, tensile structures can act as canopies, skylights, covered walkways, shading systems or atrium roofs.
