Sprung Fabric Buildings Are Engineered to Outperform

Sprung invented the tension membrane structure that allows for the rapid construction, total flexibility, complete reliability and ultimate cost-effectiveness of any short or long-term building project. Our fabric structures are proven around the world, with thousands of applications currently in use ranging from military installations to educational institutions, arenas to aircraft hangars and oil and gas explorations to disaster recovery operations. Sprung fabric buildings provide a completely customizable and movable solution for any project.

Engineering is the most important factor to consider when choosing a fabric structure. Ours is second to none. In more than 90 countries, Sprung is at work performing unlike any other building.

NASA-Quality Innovation

For over a century, the Sprung family name has been synonymous with custom-made quality shelters that meet unique needs. We patented the tensioned fabric structure as an alternative to existing construction methods, beginning in the late 1970s with structures for the oil and gas industry. After winning the NASA tender to house the Space Shuttle in the early 1980s, our reputation for building innovation became known worldwide.

Tested and Proven

Each Sprung fabric building is manufactured from the highest quality products and materials, and individually tested using strict performance measures. Our fabric structures have been proven to perform in some of the toughest environments in the world, from the hottest deserts to the most punishing frozen arctic tundras.

  • Sprung structures are designed to meet the Miami-Dade County Hurricane Compliance Code.

  • The only building left standing in Buras, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005 was a Sprung structure.

"Being in business for 120 years offers the advantage of experience. We have had the opportunity to test a wide variety of materials for our structures.  Our corporate philosophy has always been to provide the highest quality structures with the longest possible life for our customers to maximize their return on investment."

- Phil Sprung, President

A Beautiful and Enjoyable Space

Beyond the technical merits of your Sprung structure is the wonderful feeling of light and space that results from its design. Natural daylight infuses the area with a warm glow, high roofs create depth and roominess, and glazing walls add to the open and inviting characteristics of the building envelope.

Commitment to Quality and Energy Efficiency

A Sprung technical consultant remains on-site during the entire construction process to monitor each building project, ensuring quality is never compromised and your structure is erected to our exacting standard. Sprung fabric buildings have an R-25 to R-30 energy efficiency rating, which outperforms other types of construction methods and results in lowered year-round operational costs. There is almost zero air leakage in a Sprung building thanks to our unique design and superior insulation.

The Sprung Fabric Structure Advantage

Manufactured in our own ISO 9001:2008 certified, state-of-the-art factories, each Sprung fabric building can be custom made to your specifications and design requirements. Because Sprung fabric buildings have a modular design, we are able to respond to immediate relocatable structure requirements worldwide. And, with over two million square feet of available inventory, we help growing businesses rapidly expand to new markets. Learn more about the Sprung Advantage today.
