Roofing Membranes In The Philippines

In the Philippines, roofing membranes is still new in the industry:

- Torch-on modified bitumen laid in two layers and combining a cap layer or applied finishes

 - To protect and conserve the bitumen surface from UV

- Single-layer butyl rubber or EPDM

- Multi-coat liquid-used acrylic or poly-urethane system

- TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) – a single layer adhered and held system with heat-welded joints

- PVC – a single-layer adhered and held system with heat-welded joints.

Membrane roofing systems might be used to mask and cover a very large roof areas or complex roof shapes, have a low-profile and unnoticeable finish, can be used and applied for gutters and can be laid or placed to lower falls than most other roofing materials.

Any membrane roofings designed must have a minimum fall of 2° and it is recommended a minimum 3° fall, in order to, the life of the building or home, the fall will be preserved, maintained and not be compromised and impaired by any sagging in the roof or an erroneousness construction.

Before finalising your design always consult, check and ask the consent of the local building authorities. Ask for superior and outstanding fall based on their experience with low-slope roofs.

Other membrane roofing systems must be submitted for compliance and consent, with supporting documents, information on performance, durability and indestructibility, as a possible alternative method.

Roofing membranes can also be used to waterproof fabric tent roofing, car decks, warm roofs, green roofs, sunshade roofing and internal gutters even if the roofing material is totally different from the component materials, for example, a long-run metal roof draining into a membrane gutter.

The Principle of Tensile Fabric Architecture

Tensile fabric structures differ from other forms of construction materials. Their lightweight and flexibility in shape and structure gives a different dimension of dynamic and appealing three dimensional benefits.

Fabric architecture wraps not only intricate tensile membrane structures through fabric engineering but appealing and unique tensile fabric structures and sunshade roofing structures. Tensile Fabric Structure by Tensitech Solutions aims to deliver you the best in visual elegance.

Being used in architectural tent structures, where ropes tighten the fabric and allows the tent structure to withstand huge overloads, these principles is only suitable to build tensile membrane structure that last a few decades.

Construction materials that are frequently used for tensile structures is PVC coated polyester because of its excellent strength, flexibility and translucency but also because of its remarkable life span design that last for 15 to 20 years. It is mainly used for permanent exterior structures because of its strong, durable and low maintenance which has more than 30 years design life span. It is entirely chemically inert, moisture resistant, and it has a good fabric canopy properties. This is a UV resistant, versatile tensile membrane structure to combine in any architectural fabric project. Its flexibility, durability and its high crease resistance makes it effective for detachable and manageable canopies.

The main advantages of fabric architecture are that it offers a freedom for imaginative designs which you can create a boundless fabric membrane structures extensively.

Fabric structures are not limited to developing fabric buildings, it is also effective for constructing entrance canopies and walkway.

Fabric membrane roofing structures often used as an artistic form of architectural fabric at sports grounds. One of the impressive examples was built at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton UK, where a tensile fabric forms an unforgettable entrance canopy. The fabric structure has a climactic impact that gives perfectly different environment.
