Tensile structures are commonly fabricated using PVC coated polyester fabric, PTFE coated glass fabric, PVDF coated polyester, or ETFE film, depending on the application, budget and required lifespan. Ekra Decor works with all four fabric grades so the material matches the structural and aesthetic needs of each project.

PVC coated polyester is the most economical and widely used fabric, suitable for most commercial and residential applications. PTFE coated glass fabric offers superior fire resistance and a longer lifespan for premium architectural projects. PVDF coated polyester improves self-cleaning ability and UV resistance over standard PVC. ETFE film is a lightweight, highly transparent material often used for skylights and premium architectural facades.

A well-engineered and properly maintained tensile fabric structure typically lasts between 15 and 25 years, depending on the fabric grade used. PVC coated structures generally last 12 to 15 years, while PTFE and PVDF coated structures can last 20 to 25 years or longer with regular maintenance.

The cost of a tensile structure depends on the span, fabric grade, steel design, site conditions and finish specified. Car parking and walkway tensile structures are generally priced per square foot, while auditorium, stadium and architectural tensile structures are quoted based on custom design and engineering requirements.

Tensile structures require minimal supporting columns, allowing them to cover large open spans economically. They are lightweight yet strong, resistant to rain, UV rays and wind, allow diffused natural daylight into the covered area, and can be fabricated in creative architectural shapes that conventional roofing cannot achieve.

Tensile structures are used for car parking shades, walkways, gazebos, auditoriums, swimming pool coverings, stadiums, food courts, schools, resorts, hotels, hospitals, malls, toll plazas, industrial sheds and residential outdoor spaces.

Yes. Ekra Decor designs every tensile structure with proper load analysis for wind, rain and dead load specific to the site location, using hot-dip galvanised steel framework and UV-stabilised, fire-retardant fabric to ensure the structure performs safely through monsoon rains and high wind conditions.

Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the project. Smaller structures such as gazebos or car parking shades can be completed in a few days to a few weeks, while large-scale projects such as auditoriums or industrial coverings may take a few months from design approval to handover.

Yes. Ekra Decor provides complete post-sale services including periodic cleaning, fabric repair, cable retensioning and structural inspection to ensure the tensile structure continues to perform well throughout its lifespan.

Yes. Tensile structures can be custom designed in conical, hyperbolic paraboloid, barrel vault, umbrella and other architectural shapes, and the fabric membrane is available in multiple colours to match the branding or aesthetic requirements of the site.

A car parking tensile structure is a fabric membrane shed designed to protect vehicles from sun, rain and bird droppings. It is one of the most requested tensile applications for corporate campuses, malls, residential societies and institutions because it covers large parking areas without internal columns, at a lower cost than a conventional concrete shed.

The process begins with a site visit and measurement, followed by design and structural engineering with AutoCAD drawings and 3D renders shared for approval. Once approved, the steel framework is fabricated and hot-dip galvanised, the fabric membrane is cut and welded, and the final structure is installed and handed over with a warranty.

Ekra Decor is headquartered in Delhi NCR near IGI Airport and has completed tensile structure projects across India, including Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Kolkata, Lucknow, Gujarat, Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir and other major cities.

Yes. Ekra Decor provides a manufacturer warranty on both the fabric membrane and the steel structure, with the exact warranty period depending on the fabric grade selected for the project. Details are shared in the project quotation.
