Product Description
PVC-coated tensile fabric is a heavy-duty, flexible architectural membrane made by sandwiching a polyester or fiberglass mesh between layers of Polyvinyl Chloride. It is engineered for permanent outdoor structuressuch as stadiums, canopies, and car parksdelivering a lightweight, weatherproof, and UV resistant shelter with striking, dynamic curves.
Core Material & Build
- Base Mesh: Typically a high-tenacity polyester scrim. It gives the material its mechanical strength and tear resistance.
- PVC Coating: Applied on both sides to protect the base fabric, provide 100% waterproofing, and enable heat-welding.
- Top Coatings: Many premium fabrics feature PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) lacquers to prevent dirt buildup, enhance self-cleaning properties, and block harmful UV rays
- Weight & Thickness: Usually ranges from gsm grams per square meter) and measures up to thickness, depending on structural requirements.
- Tensile Strength: Designed to withstand intense mechanical stretching and heavy wind loads.
- Fire Retardancy: Treated with chemical additives to self-extinguish and meet global building safety codes.
- Translucency: Allows soft, natural daylight to filter through, reducing the need for artificial daytime lighting
