The ORION Shield Fabric canopy with its curved spine profile creates a distinctive aesthetic feature for both contemporary and traditional settings, and offers excellent year-round weather protection.
Suitable for application in outdoor public or private spaces including schools and commercial sites, for outdoor dining areas, social spaces, playgrounds and more.
With a freeform shape not limited by conventional canopy and shelter design constraints, tensile structures provide superb scope for innovative structures like the ORION Shield.
The flexible design aesthetic and distinctive elegant form of a tensile structure results from the characteristics unique to membrane tension. In daylight, fabric membrane translucency provides diffused, naturally lit spaces, while at night, artificial lighting can be used to create an ambient exterior luminescence. The lightweight nature of tensile membrane design requires less structural steel compared with conventional roof coverings, enabling clear spans of column-free space.
The durability and longevity of tensile membrane design is well proven with fabric canopy structures installed in climates ranging from arctic cold to scorching desert heat. ORION fabric membrane manufacture complies with all relevant national regulations for fire resistance. ORION tensile canopy structures use a PVC-based architectural fabric manufactured with a PVDF self-cleaning top lacquering layer.
