Tensile Structures And Their Applications

The building industry, architectures are constantly looking for innovative ideas to achieve architectural shading solutions for passive cooling options. Tensile membranes structure is one of the most trending, dynamic and cost effective solution.

A tensile fabric structure is basically characterized by the tension or stretching of a fabric membrane system, using steel, wire or cable for support system. By tensioning the fabric, it creates a clean polished appearance and the material used also withstands extreme weather conditions. Tensile structure is a construction of elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending.

Most common Applications of Tensile Structures:

• Parking areas
• Sports arenas and stadiums
• Office buildings
• Hospitals and medical campaigns
• Apartment complexes
• Hotels
• Museums
• Outdoor exhibitions

Advantages:

• Tensile structures can be framed in any shape and size to fit. It is more climate evidence and light weight. It oppose bright UV radiation and solid breeze obstruction and heavy rain
• Tensile structures are used as protection against the weather in public areas. They can span large distances
• Endless dramatic shapes are possible and versatile colours are also available which gives a stylish look
• Perfect for pedestrian bridges and extended walkways. Tensile fabric structures are comparatively easy to install and cost effective too
• Perfect for outdoor parties, outdoor dining or occasions. Tensile structures are light weight compared to other type of construction yet extremely strong
• Because of the translucence added with nearly all of the fabric options, tensile fabric structures provide an abundance of daytime light underneath making it an inviting and comfortable space below as it reflects the heat
• To provide essential shade protection and also fresh air, many rehabs, or cancer institutions, or old age homes choose tensile fabric structures to provide superior light transmission for patients and also visitors
