Product Description

There are many different types of membrane to choose from and care must be taken to ensure that comparisons are being made. The material's role in the structure's integrity and performance makes the selection process especially important. This is particularly true of tensile structures since their membranes, as well as their framework, carry the loads. Membrane Materials Most tensile structures utilize fabrics rather than meshes or films. The fabrics are typically coated, and/or laminated with, synthetic materials for greater strength and environmental resistance. The most widely used materials are woven polyester cloths coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and woven fiberglass coated with either polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or silicone.
