These characteristics, coupled with efficient energy and cost savings, have helped this type of architecture to break-throughs in very different areas. Temporary textile structures for all types of events and canopies for sports facilities and industrial structures are now as much a part of everyday life as roofs for shopping malls or leisure centers. |

Prefabricated elements mean that construction times are extremely short and guarantee that production plants or warehouse facilities are ready for use very rapidly.
The translucent textiles are suitable for use in different applications and ensure a pleasant working atmosphere. And double-coated, insulated structures help to save energy.

Sports and Leisure facilities
No other type of architecture enables the design to be so well suited to the function, and no other type provides such great expanses of cover and is so economical on resources, with a minimum of working materials and energy. The disturbing shadows which are a feature of traditional roofs on stadiums can be avoided by choosing the right degree of translucency in a textile roof. Mechanically pre-stretched structures provide very economical roof cover. In addition, pneumatically supported roofing or convertible structures are also available. |

Facilities for trade fairs and other events
The architectural possibilities range from light roof coverings to air-conditioned festival halls. The economy and flexibility of textile structures are their decisive advantage for events and presentations of short duration. And the same applies to trade fair structures. The possibilities offered by textile structures are ideal for display facilities inside or outside trade fair halls. And the objects on display can be made even more attractive by choosing an unusually designed display structure and by using the effects of light. |

Architectural features visible from a great distance turn airports, stations and other transport facilities into imaginative meeting places. If these objects are harmoniously integrated into the surrounding architecture of a town or into the local landscape, they often become architectural attractions.
Textile roof, is not easily inflammable and this provides the necessary safety. Corporate designs can be created at any time (e.g. for filling stations or refreshment services), thanks to the very versatile design possibilities of the fabrics as far as shape, color and emblems are concerned. |

Shopping in a comfortable atmosphere protected from the influences of the weather is transformed into a pleasant experience thanks to textile roofing, which is translucent, but protects from the sun at the same time. Here, the translucence can be used to the opposite effect: the indirect lighting transforms the malls into glowing points of attraction. And combining textile fabrics with glass elements represents an additional architectural highlight. |

Both bold and large texts and emblems can be applied and used for advertising purposes. Clever use of the architectural transform ability of the fabrics attracts even greater attention. |

Structures
which protect the environment
Flexible heat exchangers make use of environmental, energy to save resources.
The fabrics have a high resistance to chemicals and can therefore be taken to line rubbish dumps and sewage treatment basins. And even smell and noise emission can be controlled by textile structures.  |
Textile construction techniques are successful
because they convey an impression of elegance and weightlessness.
Whether it's “Buddy Holly”,
“Gaudi” or a different musical - temporary structures
made from textile fabrics underline the vivacious nature of events
such as this which draw large numbers.
Textile fabrics - as a fifth building
material form the ideal complement to wood, stone, metal and
glass, when new design visions have been created and have to
be realized in the shortest time possible.
Coated fabrics are easy to print on and great
visual effects can be achieved, which means that textile structures
are ideally suited for use in advertising.
