Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Tensile Structure solutions answered by our experts

Main materials include: 1) PVC-coated polyester (most common, 10-15 year life), 2) PTFE-coated fiberglass (premium, 25+ year life, self-cleaning), and 3) ETFE foil (transparent, used in atriums, 25+ years). Choice depends on application, budget, and desired aesthetics. All materials are UV resistant and fire retardant.
PVC membranes last 10-15 years, PTFE membranes 25-30 years, and ETFE can last 30-40 years. The steel support structure lasts 50+ years. Lifespan depends on material quality, environmental conditions, and maintenance. Membranes can be replaced while keeping the support structure intact.
Yes, tensile structures are engineered for wind loads up to 150 km/h and designed with proper drainage slopes to prevent water pooling. The flexible nature of membranes actually allows them to move with wind, reducing stress. Proper anchoring and engineering ensure safety even in extreme weather.
While possible, tensile structures are better suited for tropical and temperate climates. For snow-prone areas, we increase the slope angle (minimum 15-20 degrees) to prevent snow accumulation and use stronger support structures. However, conventional structures might be more suitable for regions with very heavy snow loads.
We use specialized software to design complex curved shapes, then analyze structural behavior using finite element analysis. The tension in the membrane creates the shape - by adjusting anchor points, cable tensions, and support heights, we can create virtually any organic or geometric form desired.
Minimal maintenance is needed: regular cleaning (2-4 times per year depending on environment), inspection of cables and connections annually, checking membrane for tears or wear, and ensuring drainage is clear. PTFE membranes are self-cleaning and require even less maintenance. Professional inspection recommended every 2-3 years.
