Advantages
Tensile structures give an exciting new look to a customer’s establishment and a highly effective way to utilize outdoor space during the summer.
Customers get years of low cost, low-maintenance repairs out of their canopies. To explain, the permanence of these structures eliminates the need for deconstruction for repairs. Depending on the fabric selected, your warranty period can be as long as 25 years.
Tensile structures combine pleasing aesthetics with structural efficiency, using lightweight materials in tension. Shade structures produce shade by using mesh materials. Tensile structures are versatile in many applications.
Event spaces, grandstand covers, stage covers, and public places utilize large spans. Meanwhile, outdoor restaurants, rooftop bars, and private areas in residential and pool areas all have the potential to utilize smaller tensile structures. Many of these spaces require protection from the sun and weather protection while maintaining an outdoor atmosphere.
Tensioned fabric facades and structures can create a skin on buildings that provides specific climatic, energy efficient, and visual benefits. They successfully remodel existing structures. New building projects can capitalize on these benefits even more.
Lightweight Manufacturing provides fabric panels for tensile, shade, and facade projects, and can also provide the engineering and design services associated if desired. Lightweight accomplishes this through a specialized turnkey contractor for a variety of projects. Comparatively, awning companies, shade specialists, and landscapers deliver our services for smaller projects.
