Bespoke Fabric Structures
We design and install made-to-measure fabric structures for architectural and functional applications. Our engineers collaborate with clients to create durable, aesthetically striking solutions tailored to specific spatial requirements. Utilising advanced CAD software and premium materials, we deliver weather-resistant structures suitable for commercial, cultural, and industrial settings.
Canopies for Schools
Our school canopies provide safe, weather-protected outdoor learning and play spaces. Designed to meet educational sector requirements, these structures feature anti-vandal materials and incorporate lighting and acoustic treatments. Installation causes minimal disruption to school operations while extending usable outdoor areas year-round.
Art Installations
We transform artistic visions into large-scale fabric sculptures and installations. From concept development to structural engineering, our team ensures artistic integrity while maintaining safety standards. Recent projects include 3D facades for cultural venues and interactive public art pieces using innovative textile technologies.
Temporary Weather Screens
Our weather screening systems protect building sites from wind, rain, and debris during construction phases. These modular fabric solutions maintain site visibility while reducing weather-related delays. Quick installation minimises disruption to ongoing works and improves overall project timelines.
Zoo Enclosures
Specialist enclosures combining animal welfare with visitor visibility. Our structures use non-toxic, durable materials that withstand animal interaction while maintaining natural light transmission. Custom designs accommodate specific species requirements and integrate seamlessly with zoo environments.
