Design meets function. Beautifully formed insulated fabric roofs.

Long gone are the days when fabric structures were only used in large unheated spaces.  Thermal is a high-performance system capable of meeting the strict thermal values of a conventional insulated roof, while retaining the virtues of sculptural form and clear span spaces.

The technology behind Thermal is the use of multi-layers, ‘sandwiched’ together, forming the external envelope for virtually any building. The layers include: an outer membrane identical to a normal tensile roof; an insulated multi-foil membrane suspended beneath the outer layer; and a lightweight inner lining giving the system’s underside a smooth, elegant appearance.

By overcoming the thermal limitations usually associated with fabric, Thermal becomes viable as a building material in previously ‘off-limits’ areas to membrane construction. Thermal meets Part L and can achieve U-Values up to 0.18.
