Tensile buildings from Collinson Tensile
A UK leader in tensile buildings
Our tensile construction division has been delivering high-quality tensile buildings and tensile structures in the UK and Ireland for 20 years, drawing on five decades of international research and development experience in tensile building technology.
We’ve become recognised experts for delivering tensile structures for projects across various sectors, including sports and leisure, warehouse and logistics, ports and harbour, aviation and hangars, waste and recycling and other industrial buildings.
What sets us apart in the tensile roof structure industry is our reputation for excellent quality, attention to detail and customer care. You can be confident of a professional service from project conception to completion.
Is a tensile building right for your project?
Tensile structures can be used for wide variety of building applications, and really come into their own when you require a high-performance solution to cover a large area.
Tensile fabric buildings are created through a lattice steel framework which is covered with a heavy-duty architectural membrane. The tensile roof structure allows daylight to permeate into the building to create a pleasant internal environment, while the clear span nature of the structure maximises space.
Depending on your requirements, these clear span tensile roof structures can offer a competitive solution compared to more traditional building methods and can be completed relatively quickly. Above all, tensile buildings, sometimes referred to commonly as tent buildings, create a safe, robust, reliable and long-lasting building solution.
The many benefits of tensile structures
A tensile building solution can offer you many advantages for your building project. The performance features of our tensile structures and tent building technology include.
