Application

Suitable for application in outdoor public or private spaces including schools and commercial sites, for outdoor dining areas, social spaces, playgrounds and more.

Description

Utilising the hyperbolic paraboloid, ORION Hypar fabric canopies are simple tensile structures with a distinctive shape created when the diagonally opposite corners of a sail are raised. This ‘twist’ produces the hypar form, while opposing tension forces keep the canopy membrane tight across the span.


ORION Hypar fabric canopies use a PVC based waterproof architectural fabric manufactured with a PVDF self-cleaning top lacquering layer.


Selecting an ORION Hypar fabric canopy is an opportunity to create a stunning feature at the same time as a structure that provides a good balance of shade and shelter. With a wide range of both neutral and bold fabric colours available and the option of radius posts for added interest, the design can be configured to fit in with both contemporary and traditional architectural styles.


Key features and benefits:

  • Soft membrane fabrics absorb echo, the sound of rain and voices to a much greater extent than a hard roof.
  • Membrane tension is achieved using stainless steel wires in the membrane edge.
  • The over-braced design creates a standalone tensioned frame without the requirement for cast in column foundations.
  • The fabric membrane has a lifespan equal to alternative covering materials with a 25-year design life.
  • Covered by a manufacturer-backed warranty for up to 15 years dependent on specification.
