10 reason for why choose Tensile structure

2008-02-08

1.Proven long-term durability:Tests prove that membrane structures provide 25-50 years of reliable service. Products are available that do not relax from their original shape, even after years of withstanding high loads, heavy snow and strong winds.


2.Self cleaning:Teflon coating Fabric is used in some membrane material to ensure a high resistance to staining. Some membrane materials can also repel airborne particulates and chemicals that have been show to adhere to other materials. The natural action of rain keeps the surface clean and white.


3.Energy efficiency:Membrane transmits up to 15% of daylight without thermal bridging and heat gain of traditional glazings. Shaded areas remain bright, yet cool, even on the hottest days. Reduced lighting requirements during the day also results in a substantial reduction in energy consumption.


4.More practical:Owing to its unique versatility, architectural membrane meets fire code requirements for virtually all types of construction and remains in tact in temperatures that range from -73℃ to +232℃ (-100℉ to +450℉).

5.Outdoor lighting,indoor comfort:Architectural membrane enables the construction of buildings with a stunning architectural profile, but keep transmit light at the same time. Membrane brings the open, airy feelings of colour-correct light indoors.The backlit luminosity at night creates a unique and dramatic architectural signature on the skyline.


6.Design Creativity:The long list of attributes of architectural membrane includes offering architects unprecedented flexibility in design.This allows architects to address complex aesthetic and functional challenges while creating buildings of aesthetic significance.


7.Lightweight:Architectural membranes are considerably lighter in weight than traditional structures, which ultimately reduces compressive loads on walls and columns.


8.Cost effective:In roofing applications where a translucent finish is required or desired, architectural membranes cost a fraction of their glass or polycarbonate counterparts.


9.Time effective:Construction and erection times with architectural membranes are significantly less than with traditional materials, which allows architects and developers to keep delivery promises to consumers. B


10.Environmentally friendly:The main aim of sustainable design is to produce places, products and services in a way that reduces use of non-renewable resources and to minimises environmental impact. The very nature of architectural membranes allow structures to more easily be constructed, and also, deconstructed.
