Performance Architectural Membrane

Durability, color choices and ease of cleaning are among the many hallmarks of the architectural membrane of your Sprung structure.

Our Architectural Membrane Offers Superior Performance

The exterior architectural membrane is superior in many ways to other kinds of construction; our Tedlar- and Kynar-coated membranes are virtually maintenance-free and provide a clean bright look that acts as an ideal background for graphic treatments. Besides durability and fire resistance, color choice is also among the many hallmarks of the architectural membrane for your structure. 

Its unique shape and sophisticated tension system are comprised of individual 4.5-meter membrane panels tensioned both vertically and horizontally with a 10-ton hydraulic jack and ram. Our sophisticated patented tensioning system combined with Sprung's superior quality membranes and extruded aluminum substructure ensure a durable finished product that dramatically outperforms any product of its type in the world.

Through years of extensive research and development, we’re proud to offer three types of membranes that will best suit your building needs.
