Tensile Facade Systems by Eide Industries, Inc. allow for you to customize the exterior of a building structure with the use of flexible fabric membranes that can span long distances while reducing the need of structural steel support frames making it an ideal cladding solution. Acting like a second skin, tensile membrane helps transform the outside of any building envelope economically and efficiently all while performing as a screening device and minimizing solar heat gain. To create a durable, secure facade, a structural framing system (often made from aluminum) is designed with brackets that stretch and hold the tensioned fabric, which is often made from mesh or solid PVC membrane or PTFE-coated fiberglass membrane. Depending on the design of the facade system, the tensile membrane framing can either attach directly to the face of the building or require a steel standoff system to connect to.
