The unique organic form of a tensile structure is immediately eye catching in its surrounding landscape. With dramatic curves and colourful tones, go that step further with the addition of signage.

Using a range of simple fixings kits added to the structure at the point of fabrication, our framework can be adapted to accept any form of signage.

Signage can be provided by others - contact us today with your specification for a tailored quotation.

 

• Way-marking & directions
• Entrances & Exits
• Company banners
• Advertising billboards

Contact a member of our dedicated Sales Team to discuss your requirements in more detail.

Tensile canopies make ideal promotional tools – by their very nature they attract foot traffic and demand extra attention from passers by.

Subtly introduce branding with the addition of carefully applied multi or single coloured logos and lettering.

 

• Company logos and lettering applied in situ
• Simply colour code your canopy using your corporate colours

Contact a member of our Sales Team to discuss your branding needs further.

Add extra sparkle and luminosity to your canopy and increase its hours of use with the addition of lighting. Carefully sourced and safe for use with architectural tensile fabrics our recommended lighting systems are flexible and cost effective.

Using a range of simple fixings kits, added to the structure at the point of fabrication, our framework can be adapted to accept lighting, including your own specification if preferred.

With the advances in low-power LED lighting, outdoor areas can be lit using the power of the sun.  Reducing energy consumption and energy bills is a win-win combination for you, our customer.  

Contact a member of our Technical Sales Team to discuss floodlight specifications and prices.

Fabric Architecture’s tailor-made steel protectors can be applied to any structure, Custom or Signature. Our leg wraps consist of durable padded panels wrapped inside protective envelopes that are easy to install, remove and store.

With neat and user-friendly fastenings, the envelope can be easily opened and the padded panels removed when not in use. Wipe clean with a mild detergent solution and store them flat and dry, ready for use again.

 

• Protect your investment
• Cover steel paint finish for high foot-traffic areas
• Added safety for young children
• Colour code to match your canopy - several colours available

Fabric:

SolarGlass Weave
Since it is made from silicon derivatives SolarGlass Weave (a silicone coated glass fibre fabric) is entirely recyclable. Its 30+year life expectancy (30-50% longer than alternative fabrics) means fewer replacements are required during the design life of the structure making it an extremely sustainable medium.
 

• Class O tensile fabric – totally inert
• 30+ year life expectancy
• Blocks harmful UV-B and UV-C rays
• Allows UV-A allowing photosynthesis, thus plant life, to flourish
• Recyclable

Fabric Architecture has substantially invested in the research and development of SolarGlass Weave with the original European manufactures. Our investment has been both in time and financial resources, leading the hands-on practical experimentation of the various elements that make up this material.

SolarGlass Weave is now widely specified by most major Architects and Designers on schemes where longevity, sustainability, translucency and ease-of-maintenance are paramount.

Fabric Architecture continues to be been at the forefront of sustainable design.

New Energy Sources:

 

• Fabric that harness the sun’s energy
• Wind turbines
• Solar Panels

 

Providing plug-in points for laptops and mobile phones is a convenient and fun way to draw people to your structure, with no running costs involved. With current research into the technology of photo-voltaics taking place, Fabric Architecture strives to be at the forefront of sustainable design.

The addition of compact wind turbines and high output solar panels combined with the advances in low-power LED lighting, outdoor areas can be lit using the power of the sun.  Reducing energy consumption and energy bills is a win-win combination for you, our customer.

Speak to a member of our team about the ways in which these systems can be integrated with your tensile structure.

Local Suppliers:

Situated in the heart of Gloucestershire, Fabric Architecture is fortunate to be surrounded by a wealth of highly skilled manufacturing trades.  

Steel fabrication and finishing, canopy pattern cutting and fabrication, fixings and machining are all within a 25 mile radius of our head office.  This allows us to maintain close working relationships with suppliers, whilst boosting the local economy.  The result is a minimal carbon footprint and control of the quality and efficiency of our suppliers and fabricators.  

With a wealth of purchasing knowledge we also have the flexibility to look at sourcing suppliers local to you for large projects such as the BSF programme.
