Curved Roofs & Tension Fabric Structures for Commercial Buildings

Fordingbridge curved roofs & tension fabric structures are ideal for commercial buildings, offering an elegant, airy and robust permanent structure for a range of commercial uses including outdoor shelters. Providing a complete design and build service, the construction of a Fordingbridge bespoke, enclosed building is particularly appropriate where on-site construction needs to be managed with minimal disruption.

In addition, Fordingbridge outdoor canopies, awnings and walkways are a cost-effective useful addition to any Fordingbridge commercial building where a porch, entrance canopy, waiting area or an open-air but sheltered storage area is required. Canopies, awnings and walkways can be built in a variety of shapes to suit the site including horseshoes, staggered (to cope with a sloping site), and long, flowing spans alongside or between buildings.

The frames are mainly steel in construction with a composite roof and curtain walling with micro rib composite side walls as standard.

Our canopies, awnings and walkways are offered in laminated timber frames or steel frames with the latter provided in hot dip galvanised steel finish as standard with RAL/BS paint finish also available.

Fabric curved roofs – guaranteed for five years - allow 60% light transmission whilst giving 95% UV protection. The triple wall polycarbonate is guaranteed for ten years. Both coverings are fire retardant.

Our insulated buildings are fully L2 Building Regulations compliant, with glazed walling options and curved roofs with the option of composite roofs with or without fixed or opening rooflight sections, alternatively roofs can be part or fully glazed.

The frames are mainly steel in construction with a composite roof and curtain walling with micro rib composite side walls as standard.

We also offer a tension fabric design and construction service, providing a range of elegant design solutions offering permanent structures with a lightweight appearance and minimal structural support but a long life.

The steel framed structures are hot-dip galvanised or RAL/BS painted finish, plus fabric membrane offering durability of 10 to 20 years for the PVC membrane, to 25-30 years with the PTFE membrane coating.

Shapes include: cantilevered, hypar, umbrella and double conic. We are continually exploring the application’s possibilities.

Full building regulations calculations and CDM package are available with all structures.
