We use high quality coated tensile fabric for the construction of our beautifully shaped tensile structures and school canopies. It is chosen not only for its excellent strength, flexibility and translucency, but also for its impressive design life of 20+ years. The coating includes UV stabilisers, fire retardant additives, colouring and anti-fungicides and it can be fully recycled. Tensile fabrics allow more complex canopy shapes to be created which makes it an excellent construction material that has been used for many iconic permanent and temporary structures around the world, such as The 02 Arena in London and widely used for structures at the 2012 London Olympics. The key benefits : A quick and efficient way to cover a large area with minimal disruption. Shaped fabrics under tension can span large areas at a more reasonable cost than traditional construction materials. Improves noise pollution as the curved construction diffuses both internal and external sounds, whilst absorbing them at the same time. Has high sun reflecting properties and is translucent, so the space beneath a tensile canopy remains comfortable and safe to use even in full sun whilst providing a comfortable and natural light source. The fabric has an amazing tensile strength, this reduces the supporting framework to a minimum number of legs to maximum the use of the covered area. The 3D nature is quite unique as a building form so it quickly creates a visual focus of attention and instantly adds to a buildings aesthetics. Tensile school canopies are extremely durable and weather resistant and require minimal maintenance compared to an equivalent sized conventional building. Can easily be taken down and re-erected or extended as the need arises. Has a strong tensile strength to withstand heavy loads and winds and meets all relevant British Standards.
