Tensile fabric structures to enhance and protect.

We often work with carefully chosen suppliers and designers. We are sole UK distributors for Juxtaform Space Articulators, specialists in inherently fire retardant lycra sculptural forms.

Main uses for internal tensiles are:
Sculptural features
Reduce solar glare and heat gain in atria
Internal ceilings to mask unsightly roofs
Internal screens and partitioning
Tensiles for luminaires and lighting schemes
Signage and branding

Many types of fabric can be considered for use in interior applications. The primary requirement of these fabrics is a suitable fire rating.

The four most common fabrics are:
PVC coated glass cloth
PVC mesh material
Trevira polyester (inherently fire retardant)
Fire rated Lycra

The choice of fabric is often influenced by the structural strength of the building. Even a small tensile canopy can impart significant loads. The use of new lycra materials can resolve this problem. Fabrics are available in a wide range of colours.

We can provide computer generated shade plotting to assist in the design and installation of canopies which are required to protect specific areas and personnel from heat or glare.

Full design and installation service with qualified teams. Maintenance service available.
