Fabric building for the Olympic Water Polo venue

Written by in Materials

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has a wide variety of uses in many different industries, in the tensile fabric industry it is one of the most common fabrics used.

PVC coated polyester is a strong fabric which is often used in temporary structures which need to be demounted and stored often. With an approximate lifespan of somewhere between 25-30 years and offering high levels of translucency and flame retardency PVC coated polyester is a favourable fabric.

With the ability to print on the fabric relatively easily, PVC is often used in projects where branding is important.

Where have we used PVC coated polyester?
