Tensile Structures made of PVC or PTFE Maintenance

Tensile fabric structures are frequently praised for their extraordinary design diversity and functional welfares. One advantage of these tensile structures that is not discussed as much as it should be is the comparatively low amount of upkeep required in contrast to a comparably sized traditional structure. Whether you use PVC fabric or PTFE fabric, the maintenance for both these is much less than that of the traditional building.

Maintenance: The type of cloth you pick and the design of the structure has an impact on the maintenance and cleaning requirements. PVC vinyl textiles are artificial fabrics designed for usage in a diverse range of products such as sports apparel and equipment, awnings, space vehicles, fire protection garments, automobile parts, and some types of tents. The maintenance of this fabric is to spray off the membrane on a regular basis to remove any dirt build-up as it is more prone to filth, dirt, and contamination.

PVC fabric is much more economical than most other varieties of industrial cloth because it consumes less energy for production than others. This allows businesses to produce high-quality items at a lower cost.

Refurbishing: Tensile fabric structures are mostly made up of the best quality and best performing materials, but it’s possible that rips can occur. Small sharp objects can damage these fabrics that can be then with small patches, but bigger tears may necessitate a specialist repair that requires the use of equipment like a portable hot air welder.
In the Middle East, the Al Zayed team has created and built novel membrane structures that cover a wide variety of project sizes, scopes, and complexity.

Cleansing: Cleaning processes vary depending on the structure. Mostly the cleaning is done with water and soap and pressure washers. In general, cleaning a tensile structure is much easier than cleaning a whole building. PVC and comparable grade textiles benefit from yearly cleanings to optimize their longevity, thus in case, if the design of a project makes cleaning difficult or impossible, some type of PTFE fabric should be regarded as a better-suited solution.

Conclusion: Al Zayed manufacturing area is equipped with the most cutting-edge technology and a comprehensive set of equipment to sew and cut fabric panels to perfection, while PTFE and PVC materials are only processed using high-frequency machines.
