Materials Used in Tensile Structures
Tensile structures are known for their lightweight yet highly durable nature, made possible by the use of advanced materials that ensure both performance and aesthetic appeal. Below are the key materials used in the construction of tensile structures:
01

Fabric Membranes

  • PVC-coated Polyester: This versatile fabric is commonly used due to its lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant properties. It is suitable for a variety of applications, offering excellent UV protection, water resistance, and color retention.
    • PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene): Known for its superior durability and UV resistance, PTFE fabrics are ideal for long-term exposure in harsh environments. They offer excellent fire resistance and are self-cleaning, making them perfect for large-scale and high-performance tensile structures.
    • ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene): A transparent and lightweight material, ETFE is widely used for roofing and canopies due to its excellent light transmission and weather resistance. It is highly flexible and ideal for large applications like sports stadiums.
02

Cables and Tensioning Systems

  • Galvanized Steel: : This steel is coated with a layer of zinc, making it corrosion-resistant and strong. It is commonly used in tensile structures to provide support and stability, especially in outdoor environments.
  • Stainless Steel: With exceptional resistance to corrosion and weathering, stainless steel is used for both the frame and cables in tensile structures, offering high strength and longevity in harsh conditions.
  • Aluminum: A lighter alternative to steel, aluminum is highly corrosion-resistant and is ideal for smaller tensile structures or where weight is a key consideration, such as in temporary structures or installations.
03

Cables and Tensioning Systems

  • Stainless Steel Cables:Stainless steel cables are essential for the tensioning system of a tensile structure, providing the necessary strength to hold the fabric under tension. These cables offer high tensile strength, resilience, and weather resistance, ensuring the stability of the structure over time.
  • High-strength Nylon Cords: Used in some smaller or less demanding applications, high-strength nylon cords offer flexibility and durability with a lighter weight compared to steel cables.
04

Polycarbonate Sheets

  • Polycarbonate is often used in roofing applications within tensile structures to provide natural lighting while also offering UV protection. These transparent sheets are impact-resistant, durable, and lightweight, making them ideal for creating bright, protected spaces beneath the tensile membranes.
