The ORION Star canopy is an innovative twist on the classic architectural tensile form. The single central column reduces obstructions and enables positioning close to buildings if required.

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

ORION Star fabric canopies are a suitable option where a striking tensile form is required with minimal supporting steelwork. Either placed individually or in groups for informal covered space, the waterproof tensile membrane tensioned on arms supported by a central column adds wow factor to any outside space.


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


Selecting an ORION Star 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, the design can be configured to fit in with both contemporary and traditional architectural styles.


Key features and benefits:

  • Supported by a single central column.
  • 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.
  • Functions well as a multiple canopy installation, arranged to form visual interest as well as practical shelter.
  • 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.
