Tension fabric structures use cables and structural steel to stretch industrial fabric or other materials into striking shade canopies or coverings. We offer designers and building owners a wide array of eye-catching freeform canopy designs. Each custom tension fabric structure is engineered to withstand high wind loads and harsh weather conditions, and is flame-retardant for added safety and durability.
Customize Your Tension Structure
We will design, engineer, manufacture, and install a solution that meets your needs. We offer a wide array of durable and aesthetic fabric and membrane options, including:
- PTFE – Coated Fiberglass
- PTFE – Coated Fiberglass Mesh
- TiO2 – Coated PTFE Membrane
- ePTFE with Fluoropolymer Coating
- PVC Membrane (High Strength)
- PVC Membrane Mesh Fabrics
- PVC Membrane (Light Weight)
- High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)


What Is a Tensile Facade?
Tensile facades, also known as fabric facades, building facades, or tension facades, are sophisticated tension fabric structures. They feature a tensioned fabric or flexible membrane stretched over a building’s exterior, creating a “second skin” or cladding system. Tensile facades span greater distances with less structural support compared to traditional metal mesh screens. They come in a limitless array of custom shapes and sizes, making them an innovative and cost-effective choice for enhancing your building’s appearance, providing shade, or boosting energy efficiency.
