Structureflex- The Tensile Fabric Membrane Structures Provider

Tensile fabric structures can only carry tension and are normally used as roofs or canopies for military hangers, sporting facility, gaming and entertainment structures, restaurants, etc. While tensile structures may contain cable structures, we will only focus on membrane structures.

These shade structure are thin shield structure which is made out of polyester or woven fabric, protected with coatings. Membrane joints are generally welded together, while clamp plates, bale rings, or membrane plates are used to connect the membrane to its supporting structures. Different arrangement and direction of fabric warps produce different strength values.

The three most generally used membrane materials are PVC, PTFE, and ETFE.

1. PVC coated polyester fabric has low cost and life expectancy, so it is more convenient for temporary structures.
   
   
2. PTFE coated fibreglass has higher life expectancy and provides fireproof effect, so it is being used for long lasting structures. Although PTFE is costly, it provides good resistance to UV radiation, wear or weather conditions and can have long span. 
    
3. These tensile membrane structures can produce many shapes, such as arches, masts, or a combination of shapes.

Following are some of the merits of tensile fabric structures:

•   Fast installation

•   Free flowing designs for aesthetic look

•   Light-weight and flexible structure

•   Provide transparency and great light transmission causing reduction in energy costs

•   Fire resistance

•   Proven durability against UV radiation, corrosion, and weather conditions

Structureflex’s fabric structure is completely waterproof, strong and can able to protect from harsh sun rays and doesn't need too much effort for making the installation as they are able to install it quickly. We are also providing the structures like shade umbrella, architectural umbrella and other shade structures.
