Tensile Membrane Structures
Architectural Membrane Solutions

Tensile Membrane Structures

Tensile membrane systems are lightweight architectural structures formed with steel cables and specialised membrane fabrics. Unlike conventional building materials, they cover maximum volume with minimum material and create a striking visual impact.

Engineering Advantages

Large-Span Coverage

Uninterrupted, column-free coverage of very large areas with a minimal number of structural members.

Natural Light & Energy Saving

Controlled light transmission delivers extra energy savings indoors during daylight hours.

Self-Cleaning Surface

Self-cleaning titanium-coated surface technology keeps a stain-free appearance for years.

Seismic Safety & Rapid Installation

Lightweight structure for seismic safety, plus rapid installation thanks to off-site fabrication.

Fabric Technologies

PTFE Membran

25+ year service life; premium solution with high heat and UV resistance.

PVC Membran

15+ year lifespan; economical, flexible and versatile architectural cladding.

ETFE Smart Fabric

Ultra-transparent, glass-light texture with maximum light transmission.

Titanium Dioxide Coating

A specialised top layer that resists dirt and neutralises environmental pollutants.

Large-Scale Applications

  • Car-park shading systems
  • Amphitheatre and outdoor stage covers
  • Sports facility and stadium roof projects
  • Airport and bus terminals
  • Shopping-mall atrium and plaza canopies
  • Prestige villa and hotel entrance structures

Architecture for the Future & 10-Year Warranty

At Logis we analyse tensile membrane projects with advanced software (CAD/FEA). Conical, sail and hyperbolic forms — with geometric freedom — become signature pieces in the city skyline.

Our tensile membrane structures carry a 10-year structural warranty against design and manufacturing defects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Tensile Membrane Structures Withstand Heavy Snow and Storms?

Yes. Every project is engineered with FEA structural simulation software. Steel and cable sections are calculated against regional wind (120 km/h) and snow load coefficients, then produced with engineering approval.

How Is the Membrane Surface Cleaned?

PTFE and titanium-dioxide-coated PVC membranes have a self-cleaning finish. Rainwater carries away most dirt on its own, keeping extra maintenance costs to a minimum.

How Do Design and Site Survey Proceed?

Our technical team of engineers and architects surveys the site, prepares 3D modelling, then issues the most suitable fabric and structure quote after static load calculations.
