Architectural Membranes Used for Tensile Membrane Structures
Fabric structures in the form of tents have been around for thousand of years, but it is only within the last fifty years that the design and construction of tensile membrane structures have begun to surface as a viable, permanent building method. In this paper I will discuss the three predominant architectural membranes used for tensile membrane structures. These being: (1) LDPE coated, woven HDPE scrim using tapes (2) PVC coated, woven or knitted polyester fabric (3) PTFE coated, woven fiberglass fabric.
