About Tensile Facades
Tensile Facades enables architects & designers the flexibility to offer clients alternate, affordable & low-maintenance design solutions. To create a durable, secure facade, a structural framing system that’s often made from aluminum is designed with brackets that stretch and hold the tensioned fabric, which is often made from mesh or solid PVC membrane or PTFE-coated fiberglass membrane. Depending on the design of the facade system, the tensile membrane framing can either attach directly to the face of the building or require a steel standoff system to connect to.
Benefits of Tensile Facade Systems
Transform Your Building
Tensile Facade Systems allow you to customize the exterior of a building structure with the use of flexible fabric membranes that can span long distances while reducing the need for structural steel support frames. These facades are an ideal cladding solution, and act like a second skin to transform the outside of any building envelope economically and efficiently, all while performing as a screening device and minimizing solar heat gain.
