Tensile structures refer to the construction style of architecturally designed outdoor roofing. A membrane is held in place using steel cables, they cover large spans, are malleable and perform under pressure, often resulting in eye-catching shade structures. With that said, the textile of choice needs to be considered in detail. PVC is a popular choice for Tensile architecture projects with its high-performance capabilities, lightweight, waterproof and UV protection properties make it ideal for use in outdoor locations, including parks, stadiums, airports, schools, homes, and amphitheaters.
Key things to consider when selecting your PVC:
- The weight, is it light enough for this type of structure?
- Is the thickness of the textile suitable?
- Is it durable and easy to clean?
