What Is A Tensile Fabric Structure?

Tensile fabric structures are characterised by the tensioning of a membrane system, typically with wire or cable. Using tension throughout structure provides the membrane with critical structural support. Tensile architecture is the most common form of thin-shell structures. 

Tensile structures can hold many forms although it is generally based on two basic building designs; the Saddle and the Cone. This creates dramatic structural architecture and offers a variety of free form designs. The tensioning of the fabric eliminates and creases in the membrane and is strong enough to withstand any severe weather and potential damage.

Where To Use A Tensile Fabric?

The tensile canopy manufacturer in Guwahati has suggested to use the tensile structures in the following locations:

  1. Tension structures can be used as a showpiece element that stands out against both traditional and modern buildings, urban focal point and local icons.
  2. Membrane canopies are ideal for wide column-free areas. The structures can span unsupported lengths of up to 150 feet and up to twice that amount with steel cable nets, and air structures can span thousands of feet without columns!
  3. Our tensile structures are great for temporary buildings, from schools and education centres or travelling exhibits.
  4. Need a prefab modular building? Our metal-framed tensioned structures are the most cost-effective modular frame buildings available.
  5. Tensile structures are brilliant, lightweight additions to existing buildings and can act as canopies, skylights, sheltered walkways, shaded areas or atrium roofing.

How Much Do Tensile Structures Cost?

The range of the tensile canopy in Guwahati varies from one manufacturer to another. Costs vary due to complexity of design, local wind or snow conditions, quality of materials and connections, and area of structure required. This includes structural supports, cables and fittings, but does not include foundations which are dependent on local soil conditions.

Conclusion

Above all, the air structures do need continuous air support and as a result have higher operating energy costs than tensile structures.
