Manufacturers and Installer of Tensile Structures

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 20, 2011 -- tensile structures offer great opportunities for covered areas, there are of course other construction methods by which a covered outdoor area can be achieved.

tensile fabric structures over other types of cover in an unbiased but practical manner. There will also be situations where alternative means to cover the area may be better, and we aim to bring these to your attention too.

One of the greatest benefits of tensile structures is that they are translucent. The woven base cloth combined with the appropriate coating allows a light transmission value of around 10%. This provides a very comfortable level of illumination compared to the full brightness of outside.

Glass and polycarbonate are also translucent, but the light levels under the canopy are going to remain quite similar to those outside, so on very bright days, these materials offer little respite.

The other factor that clearly puts fabric ahead of other materials is its clear span capabilities. Whereas all other possible roofing materials require rigid intermediate support, fabric can span from one boundary right across to the opposite side in one unbroken sweep. The advantages of this are that there are no awkward or difficult sealing details that need to be addressed.

Since the fabric has this amazing tensile capacity, the effect is to reduce the supporting framework to a minimum number of components, all working efficiently as a whole system. This in turn leads to a much more lightweight structure than other types of construction. A downside of this is that large foundations are often required in order to prevent the wind lifting the canopy and taking it away. However, in terms of cost, foundations are a lot easier and cheaper to prepare than visible, above ground constructions that are exposed to weather and damage.
