Fabric structures are often associated with temporary shading solutions, but they can be economical longer-term solutions in the long run. With new and advanced fabric technologies and construction methods, it’s possible to create custom fabric structures that are long-lasting and can become a permanent architectural feature that adds to the overall aesthetic of your property.
Reputable manufacturers of commercial shades will work with you to create a custom industrial shade structure that can meet your requirements. Let’s explore the benefits:
- An easy and cost-effective solution for covering wide-open and large spaces
Fabric structures are ideal for outdoor swimming pools and sports facilities for tennis, football, and rugby. They are also practical for amphitheatres, rail stations, sports stadiums, and other locations where massive public gatherings occur. Industrial applications, such as bulk storage facilities, aircraft hangars, and warehouses may also require custom fabric structures.
Architectural fabric structures seldom require internal support columns to reinforce the middle because of the high-strength and lightweight fabric.
- Quick to build and install
Partnering with an experienced manufacturer of commercial shade structures will ensure fast production and timely installation of your project. A custom industrial shade structure can come pre-engineered and ready to install.
- Can be movable, seasonal, or permanent
Architectural fabric structures can be permanent installations. With the apt materials, they can last for decades. Reputable manufacturers warranty their work for worry-free long-term use. Just make sure you’re choosing structures that meet local safety and fire codes if you keep them up for a long time. The fabric structures can also be semi-permanent or seasonal.
- Customisable for building attractive, unique, and high-profile structures
Custom and architectural fabric structures are designed according to your needs. High-quality PVC-coated fabrics can come in specific colours to match your exterior design or suit unique aesthetic requirements.
- Sustainable and energy-efficient
A custom industrial shade structure uses lightweight materials, so it’s possible to cover larger areas with minimal mass. That means less energy consumption and raw materials to create the structure, and deliver it to your site. High-quality structures and fabrics also last for years, so they help reduce waste.
- Cost-effective
Long lasting custom fabric structures are cost-effective for covering a range of spaces. That said, the cost will depend on factors, such as the style and whether it requires frames, lighting, insulation, and ventilation.
