DO FABRIC BUILDINGS OUT PERFORM TRADITIONAL STRUCTURES?

Are Fabric Buildings Better Than Traditional Structures?

Fabric buildings have numerous advantages when they are compared to the traditional structures of buildings. They are portable, strong and much more versatile. Tension fabric structures are typically constructed via rigid frames and also have many advantages when they are compared to that of a traditional structure made from pole, wood, and metal which are around the same size. As a result of the modern advancement of engineering designs, fabric building structures can easily be equal to a traditional building in the sense of accommodating the desired maximum area of free floor space. This can be ideal for the storage of warehousing goods as well as huge equipment. Fabric buildings can be coated with UV-safe and special corrosion resistant solutions which protect them from the harsh conditions associated with the climate and the environment alike. These buildings are designed with strict building codes in mind and can even be erected safely in remote areas. Additionally, the customization of fabric buildings can be widely varied in terms of colors as well as storage facilities, insulation, lighting and even cooling and heating systems. Fabric buildings can even facilitate entry doors which are quite oversized, a peaked roof and even eaves as desired.

Reasons Why Fabric Buildings Are The Better Option:

1. Fabric Buildings Are More Economical

Fabric buildings are cost-effective when they are compared to that of a metal, pole or wood building of a similar size. They tend to typically involve a lot less planning architecturally, their material list is not as expensive and they can be constructed in much less time. In addition, they not only save on money but there is little to no extensive cost for future maintenance. Temporary Warehouse Structures offers free quotes all you have to do is request one today.

2. Faster To Construct

Due to simplified instructions along with advanced engineering, all fabric buildings are erected within a small amount of the time that it usually takes for others. These being traditional buildings made from metal, wood or glass as well as other materials. This is indeed a huge benefit if the initial requirements are changed or if mobility is needed for that of a concert series or simply a tradeshow.

3. Portable

Fabric buildings are convenient portable packages which can be commissioned as well as decommissioned for true versatility. This type of building is truly an advantage if you have seasonal operations which required relocation to keep up with your trade, be it oilfield exploration or that of rotating crops. Since fabric buildings are readily portable, they tend to be much more versatile than other permanently constructed buildings.

4. Low-Maintenance

Due to the engineered tensile coverings, fabric buildings generally require little or no maintenance at all. Even when faced with highly corrosive environments, they can be resprayed with blowing sand, other chemicals and salt sprays. UV resistant coatings can also be used on the surfaces of fabric buildings to further protect them. In comparison to traditional buildings which require extensive continued maintenance, fabric buildings are truly a low-maintenance option for basically any type of climatic condition.

5. Easy To Reconfigure

If change is required over time, fabric buildings possess a unique ability in that they can be easily reconfigured each time to suit your needs. In the case of a newly added vehicle and space or an extension is needed, as well as a private pool or hot tub to your already existing ski resort, fabric buildings can easily be modified for any need. When compared to traditional structures, you would be faced with demolition and possible longer construction time and not to forget, it’s all a huge expense when compared to fabric buildings.

6. Allow Natural Light

In addition, fabric buildings are translucent and tend to let natural light in, this is another great way to cut your energy cost. This is a huge benefit if you’re interested in constructing a greenhouse or even if you just want some extra visibility within your space without the extra added cost. Since natural light is a mood enhancer, they can improve not only productivity but sleep quality. Due to its translucent nature, fabric buildings are able to be kept warm during the winter as well as cool in the summer which all further save on your energy as it is associated to your cooling and heating systems.

7. Anchor Securely To Any Foundation

Fabric buildings can also anchor securely to any leveled surface. As a result, they don’t need to be built on foundations made from solid concrete. This, in turn, saves on the overall cost to construct. Since they are typically suited for multiple terrains, this makes them truly versatile.
