Technical Membrane Options
PVC-coated polyester: the standard for most commercial tensile installations — cost-effective, UV-stable, cleanable, and available in a wide range of colors and translucency levels
PTFE (Teflon-coated fiberglass): the highest-performance permanent tensile membrane — UV-inert, self-cleaning, and rated for 30+ year service life. Specified for major civic and architectural projects
ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene): transparent or printed film panels for atrium and skylight applications where light transmission is the primary requirement
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a tensile structure installation take?
A tensile installation project typically runs 8–20 weeks from design approval to completion, depending on the scale of the structure and foundation complexity. This includes engineering design, fabrication, foundation construction, and membrane installation.
What maintenance do tensile structures require?
PVC membrane tensile structures require annual inspection of connections and anchors and periodic cleaning. PTFE membranes are largely self-cleaning in rainfall and require only connection and anchor inspections. Full maintenance schedules are provided with every installation.
