Custom-Designed Tension Structures Projects

Shelter-Rite Architectural Fabrics

Custom-designed tension structures require the collective efforts of an architect, engineer, fabricator and installer. These buildings are one-of-a-kind designs and are often high profile structures. The buildings incorporate metal frames or masts, cables and highly tensioned architectural fabrics. Custom structures can also be designed to adjoin or rest on top of a conventional building.

These buildings often involve three-dimensional fabric shapes that simply cannot be achieved using standard building materials. Due to the high profile nature of custom designed structures, the use of an architectural fabric that utilizes a fluoropolymer top-coating system is very common.

Custom-designed tension structures include shopping malls, canopies, sports stadiums, aircraft hangers and warehousing.
