Printed TEXO Panels

Working for our partners Aura Custom we utilised our inhouse wide format UV printers to print 119 tensioned fabric panels. The design by Unit Architects consists of an overcladding using a steel reinforced pvc/polyester mesh tensioned onto TEXO frames developed by Italian company Tensoforma. Covering a total of 2,000 m2 the graphic panels are used as cladding to a car park as well as being carried over into the cladding of the supermarket itself.

As the second project for Sainsburys this type of construction has proved popular with the client not only for the impressive speed of installation due to off site assembly, but also the ability to customize the cladding with architectural graphics.
