What makes aircraft hangars tensile structure so attractive?

November 30, 2017

Aircraft hangar tensile structure ? Really? It could be surprising, we know, but it’s not rare. A fun fact: tensile materials were first invented to be used as coatings for aerospace items. So it must not come as a shock that tensile structures are being used in the construction of aircraft hangers. If you have been thinking that how can a flexible, lightweight and elastic material turn as a shed for aero planes, you have been getting it all wrong. In this brief blog we will explain why. We will also list out some of the properties of tensile structure that makes them fit to be used as cover for this huge flying machine. Read on. · It’s elastic and flexible – but that doesn’t mean its liquid. In fact, elasticity helps a lot in forming new shapes and designs. As you already know, tensile structure is nothing but a combination of curves balanced by a force of tension. The flexibility offered by tensile materials makes their cutting, welding and forming easier. ·

4 Benefits of Swimming Pool Tensile Cover

November 28, 2017

Do you own a swimming pool? Do you like paddling up and down your pool under the shade from the sun? Have you heard about swimming pool tensile cover ? Yes? No? No problem.

What is the difference between – a patio, deck, pergola and gazebo?

November 27, 2017

Gone are the days when houses used to be a somber assemble of burnt bricks and dried plasters. With the advent of tensile structures and innovation in building architects, the very design and utility of homes and their adjoining outdoor spaces are witnessing a sea change. With the introduction of new structures like patio, deck, gazebo and pergola, the landscape of simple home has changed forever. But many a times, we find it difficult to differentiate between these terms. Through this blog, we will try to make their meanings a little more clear. Patio – derived by the Spanish word Patio , which means the courtyard of the house or building. But the English term is different from the courtyard because unlike them, a patio need not be surrounded by walls. There can be different types of patio designs patio umbrella like detached patio, wraparound patio, entry patio etc. They can be made from different materials like concrete, pavers, flagstone, rock etc. Keeping in mind the surroun

Searching for prefabricated structures? Visit BKF

November 22, 2017

When was the last time you saw a big bridge being constructed wholly on-site? Maybe long ago. The tedious, often annoying, method of construction has now almost been completely replaced by prefabricated structures . The need to do it quick, sleek and without taking much space has forced people to look for alternative mode of constructions. Prefabrication is one of them. But the use of prefabricated structures in not limited to big bridges only. Nowadays they are being used in small constructions. Prefabrication is a process in which a big structure is disunited into smaller ones and each unit is manufactured at different locations. Once designed they are transported, either wholly assembled or partially assembled, to its destination. There are many reasons for opting prefabrications. One, it seeks to concentrate similar works together. This avoids the need to shift workers to every location. Second, since different units are manufactured at different places, it helps in overcomin

Retractable tensile structure roofs: Need, design and benefit

November 02, 2017

You went to watch your favorite match and the rain ruined the play. Wouldn’t you be frustrated? I would be if I were you. It seems a bit unfair. You took all the trouble to go and watch the game but the rains played spoilsport. It might have been one such instance that prompted the invention of retractable tensile structure roofs. As the name suggests, they can be opened and closed at will unlike the traditional concrete slabs that just stays there. Originally designed to ward off rains over a sporting arena, they soon widened in use and found their place in common homes as well. More like a sky facing window When the weather is fine and you feel like peeking out, is it not a smart conception to have your roof designed in such a way that it can be opened and closed at your will? Retractable roof structure does exactly that. Made from flexible materials like plastics, fibers and their derivatives like nylon, vinyl etc. the roofs are designed to exceptionally flexible in ope
