External Architecture Fabric Facades

External Architecture Fabric Facades

Textile facades are a dry assembled prefabricated building system. Usually, textile facades consist of a textile covering and a metal structural substructure fixed to the main (existing) structure of the building.

High-strength polyester/PVC mesh fabrics are used for fabric façades. They are characterized by their light weight, high durability, flexibility and resistance to different weather conditions.

The four most common fabrics are PVC coated glass cloth, PVC mesh material, trevira polyester (inherently fire retardant) and fire-rated lycra. The choice of fabric is often influenced by the structural strength of the building. Even a small tensile canopy can impart significant loads.

Delivers thermal & visual protection It not just cools the interiors of the building, fabric façade also helps in visual comfort. Moreover, it blocks harmful UV radiation while allowing diffused light to pass through.
