This hypar fabric structure is suitable for larger areas
Key Uses
- Shelter
- Education Space
- Point of Sale
- Link Walkway
- Playground Protection
- Outdoor Dining
Similar in style to the Mendip range, this hypar fabric structure is more suitable for larger areas due to the addition of extra tie rods, supporting increased loads. The Malvern family of fabric canopies are available in five different sizes with options for four to six masts, scaling up to a 12 x 12m footprint or 144sqm. There is also a fabric walkway model.
Note: we can adapt the standard canopies to suit your footprint and additional extras include gutter upstands and rainwater collection. All our canopies are engineered to British Standards, suitable for year round use and come with a ten year warranty – although they are expected to last much longer!

FACID Fabric Cladding Systems
In many cases it is possible to use a pre-engineered fabric cladding system which can result in cost and programme benefits.
Facid Flexible Facades
The FACID façade system from Schueco is available in two formats:
FACID 65: Â Fitted on site by tensioning fabric panels into aluminium extrusions, mounted directly onto the building, or bolted to a lightweight first fix frame.
FACID M3: Â A panelised system pre-fitted into an aluminium frame in the factory, then fixed to the first fix frame. This system can also be fitted with sliding gear to form external sliding window screens.

Fabric Façades
The use of tensile fabric as a façade material is proving a highly effective solution with many benefits.
The Outer Skin
Fabric overcladding has an increasing relevance for architects. Not only can it be used on new builds, but has a big role to play in the refurbishment of existing properties.
Cost Effectiveness
Replacing a tired, old building is expensive. It can be far more cost effective to overclad with a dynamic new fabric façade that achieves architectural impact and is fast to install.
Fabric mesh was chosen to form an eye-catching wrap around the Ben Ainslie Racing HQ in Portsmouth.
Lightweight Construction
Together with a lightweight first fix steel framing system, the fabric façade puts significantly less loads onto the building compared with some other rain screen systems.
At the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham the whole of the public facing façades were overclad with a combination of backlit giant 3D fabric pyramids and printing graphic panels to the centre, giving it a dramatic facelift and a new lease of life. This was done at a cost considerably less than replacing the existing façade.
Climate Façades and Environmental performance
There are not only aesthetic benefits but practical ones too. By overcladding a building, you can dramatically improve its environmental performance in terms of heat gain and energy saving, through increased insulation and elimination of glare.
This has been proved at the Ben Ainslie Racing HQ in Portsmouth, where the cladding provides additional insulation and protects the envelope behind from the cooling effect of the wind.
