Tensile Membrane Structures

A tensile membrane structures is most often used as a roof, as they can economically and attractively span large distances. This form of construction has only become more rigorously analysed and widespread in large structures in the latter part of the twentieth century. Tensile structures have long been used in tents, where the guy ropes and tent poles provide pre-tension to the fabric and allow it to withstand loads. Steady technological progress has increased the popularity of fabric-roofed structures. The low weight of the materials makes construction easier and cheaper than standard designs, especially when vast open spaces have to be covered. Material advances in coated woven textiles combined with design and analytical techniques for developing membrane structures have yielded a new building form for permanent architectural applications.

Rekha Décor provides this innovative product for all your needs and requirements. Tension fabric technology, is one of the most exciting and rapidly developing building technologies in the market today. There are quite a lot many benefits to a tensile membrane structures apart from the ones already mentioned.

  1. Virtually unlimited designs of distinctive elegant forms can be realized because of the unique flexible characteristics of architectural membrane. Also, fewer support columns create more functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces.
  2. Incorporating the most modern construction techniques, large fabricated membrane panels can be installed quickly to shorten installation schedules. Likewise, fabric removal can be accomplished easily.
  3. Lightweight tensile membrane structures bear less building load than traditional roofing materials and the membrane’s elasticity offers further earthquake resistance.
  4. Lightweight structures can be a more cost effective solution than traditional building materials offering building owners reduced costs. Materials, such as photo-catalytic membranes, can help prevent temperature rise as well as reduce maintenance costs due to their self-cleaning properties.
  5. In daylight, the membrane’s translucency offers soft diffused naturally lit spaces reducing interior lighting costs. At night, the artificial lighting creates an ambient exterior luminescence.

Lightweight membrane is a cost-effective solution that requires less structural steel to support the roof, enabling long spans of column-free space. These structures are used as:

  1. Stadiums, sports facilities, exhibition halls, business centers, concert halls and etc.;
  2. Shade roofs of the entrance of hotels, restaurants, cafes, and other commercial buildings;
  3. Airport roofs, bus, train stations and terminals, car parking and gas stations;
  4. Other permanent or temporary structures.

Embrace this new wonder of architecture to witness a new avenue of style within your budget.
