Indoor Tensile Structure

Indoor tensile structures provide unique aesthetic and functional benefits for various interior spaces Like acoustic false Ceilings, wall cladding, partitions, sail type architectural fabric sculptures etc.
Indoor tensile structures are fabric membranes that are held in place by cables, steel, or other support systems to create three-dimensional surfaces. They can be used for a variety of purposes, including: 

• Roofs
  Tensile structures are often used as roofs because they can span large distances economically and attractively. 
• Shading
  Tensile structures can be used to create shading. 
• Sun shading
  Tensile structures can be used to form three-dimensional sun shading facades
