Are canvas roofs in removable industrial buildings really efficient?
Ceilings fulfill the primary function of covering spaces and protecting your interior, but they also have great structural value: they close the skeletons of buildings, reinforce them and provide them with stability.
And that, in the field of removable buildings and industrial tents, which resistance is based on the solidity of the overall structure, becomes essential.
The most popular type of cover
The most popular type of canopy in removable warehouses and industrial tents is the aluminum frame with canvas cover. A material that, a priori, does not sound like a construction material and that, nevertheless, has great properties for industrial use. In addition, applied in removable buildings and industrial tents, it not only offers the necessary levels of resistance and tightness, but also offers advantages in terms of energy efficiency and production and maintenance costs.
They are energy efficient due to their translucent condition that allow natural lighting of spaces, without the need for electric lighting. They also are cheaper in terms of the cost of materials and cost and construction times. But, above all, their versatility in terms of shape and composition allows them to provide the type of resistance that is needed in each case.
Aluminum, wood or even steel skeleton
Depending on the strength of the winds or the rains to which the removable industrial warehouse or industrial tent is going to be exposed and the size and durability expected, its two waters can be more or less inclined, and can be supported on a skeleton of aluminum, wood or even steel.
Aesthetic, acoustic or space use qualities
But, the roofs of removable industrial buildings or industrial tents not only fulfill structurally practical functions. They can also provide aesthetic, acoustic or space use qualities, in a much cheaper way than other forms of construction. Hexagonal, vaulted or domed ceilings can be applied more easily and safely.
It is important to bear in mind that in catastrophic conditions any type of construction, both conventional and removable, is susceptible to damage or ending up destroyed. For those cases in which a territory becomes very hostile, the only recommendation is to move to another area. And that, with a removable industrial warehouse or industrial tent is totally viable.
Very simple maintenance
If what we hope is that our roof is resistant enough in harsh weather zones (not catastrophic), the only way to prevent irreparable deterioration, both in removable and permanent constructions, is to have good maintenance. We must not allow a damaged structure to face a very strong wind or violent rain. And, in this sense, removable industrial buildings or industrial tents also make it very easy, since their imperfections are easily detectable and their maintenance, very simple.
At VALL, we also offer a particularly resistant type of canvas covering, which provides immense stability to the construction and, in addition, provides a very powerful thermal insulation capacity: the canvas with the Thermo Wind Safe system. It is a double-layered cover with a watertight air chamber, a highly efficient solution. At VALL we work with the highest quality standards to provide our clients with durable, efficient and economically interesting structures.
