Custom designed, permanent architectural fabric structures (exterior and interior PVC coated fabrics and silicon-glass coated fabrics) Tension Cable structures.

We offer the design, fabrication, supply, and installation of Architectural Tensile Fabric structures, cable structures, solar screens and large umbrellas. Tensile Fabric structures lend themselves to forming complex, curved and unique shapes that more conventional construction materials cannot achieve. As a relatively young design concept in Africa, membrane structures offer great freedom of expression and design, softening otherwise harsh facades and providing shade, shelter and visual attraction to a variety of applications. They lend themselves to natural shapes and complex geometry allowing creative and pleasing integration into architectural designs. To facilitate this, our design team offers grass roots advice, provides visual renderings to assist with selling great concepts to our clients and tailors each to the specific project in hand. Following concept approval our structural engineers and product designers take over to provide load analyses and engineering detail for the support structures. Finally our technical team takes over to complete patterning, manufacture, installation and commissioning. Each discipline is rigorously checked at each stage, allowing for client design changes to be integrated prior to final patterning. Our flexibility and attention to detail makes the difference between ourselves and our competitors.
