Tensile Membranes Structures

Fabric structures allow you to make a statement.

Textile construction as a component of modern architecture is accepted increasingly all over the world. Membranes permit area designs which are aesthetical, light weight and durable. They are installed quickly, can cover large areas and do not need support constructions. They can be used for aesthetical and functional purposes, as well as for separational, figurative and visual purposes. Translucent membranes provide natural lighting and Bloc-Out membranes prevent light transmission and significantly reduce heat transmission.

We are exclusive India representatives of BELGIUM based SIOEN INDUSTRIES to distribute their range of Architectural Fabrics (Tent & Tensile Structures) in India. The Beijing Olympics Tent Structures were made in SIOEN Fabrics.

A very advanced and high tech type of technical textile is used for textile architecture. Strict European and international regulations define the production process and technical characteristics of each type of technical textile. We offer from SIOEN’s manufacturing plants in Belgium & France high quality- lightweight and heavy weight Coated Textiles for tensile membrane structures, rooftops, sides, tents, halls, domes, etc.

SIOEN fabrics for architecture consist of a polyester base fabric that is PVC coated with an additional fluo-acrylic (PVDF) top coating. SIOEN’s knife coated fabrics provide many special as well as standard features which can be grouped in three basic categories. One is durability due to excellent UV protection property and the anti mildew, anti fungus treatment given. This treatment of the base fabric reduces the possible invasion of microbes. Another category is the ease of fabrication. The Belgium based company’s wide range of fabrics are of high quality products that can easily be transformed  on to any structure, cut into any shape or size and fabricated straight away without any further processing. The third category is ease of maintenance. The company’s fabrics for architecture come with a PVDF lacquering that prevents most natural and industrial dirt from sticking to the fabric. The lacquering smoothens out the surface area of the fabric to make it as difficult as possible for dirt particles to settle down. This also makes it easier to clean off more aggressive dirt which is usually done with non-detergent soap and water. Whilst basic, periodic maintenance is still necessary, rain will anyway keep the fabric clean for long periods of time. The final product can be fabricated easily employing high frequency welding machines commonly used for projects in architecture.
