We understand that as a Facilities Manager you are looking for precise professional solutions for your building. We can deliver this with complete professionalism, matching your high expectations and standards, in a flexible and honest way. We create beautiful fabric structures for indoor and outdoor spaces, which we believe can really help to optimise and enhance your environment.

At Tensile Fabric Ltd we have many years of experience working with Facilities Managers in large professional environments. For airports we have provided acoustic dampening for large spaces, walkways to link buildings and sculptural centrepieces to enhance an area; for commercial spaces we have created eye-catching fabric features to help draw attention to retail; and for office buildings we have installed gorgeous fabric sculptures, visually enhancing linear spaces to improve the clients' quality interior. As well as all of these, we can help with acoustic sails, feature sun shading, beautiful ceilings and an array of outdoor fabric structures.

We include the list below as the key areas that we feel we can help you with.

We offer our facilities clients a full bespoke service – from design right through to installation and future maintenance. Get in touch and we will lead you through the process.

Looking for an exterior structure?

A tensile fabric canopy can add dynamism to your building's exterior – whether you need to keep your staff dry between buildings, shaded whilst queuing, or a fabric structure to make your entrance stand out.

We use quality durable materials, all offering different UV, water resistant and strength qualities so they will be in place looking great for years to come.

Desperately need an interior sun shade?

If sun glare is blinding your reception staff, or your team is suffering from too much heat while at their desks, we can create unique interior sun shades – enhancing the area and making the space work better for you and your client.

We use sun path 3D modeling and fabric technology to create perfectly positioned shades – in the right shape, orientation and fabric, to keep enough visible light out.

Looking for an interior atrium feature?

A feature tensile fabric canopy can add interest or become the centrepiece of any space, particularly in large atrium areas. We can work with you to create a unique structure which will offer a real ‘wow factor’ as visitors enter the building.

If you have a large redundant atrium, why not create a feeling of intimacy by hanging fabric sails in your space – potentially lowering the perceived ceiling level and improving acoustics at the same time?

Do you have an acoustics challenge?

We know that you may have huge spaces with high reverberation times to resolve - poor acoustics can be disruptive and distracting. With the rise in demand for clean lines and low maintenance spaces, comes an increase in problematic acoustics: all the softness has been removed, leaving hard-surface spaces that are not acoustically absorbent. If this sounds like your building, our single-layer material acoustic sails will help absorb sound to reduce reverberation time and enhance the environment.

Extensive Product Range

Our high-quality pre-designed structures offer unique, easy-to-specify, standard designs for interior and exterior use, giving you a quick and easy choice for your project at an affordable price.
