How Does Your Sprung Structure Compare

When you compare feature by feature, you’ll quickly see how your Sprung structure outperforms other kinds of construction. It’s an innovative all-in-one solution that provides a custom building solution in a very short time.

Quality starts with intelligent design and choice of materials. And when you consider the rapid construction time, superior energy efficiency, long-term flexibility and lower overall costs, you’ll agree a Sprung structure is your obvious choice.

Feature	Sprung Structure	Pre-Engineered Metal Building	Conventional Construction
Design Time	3-4 weeks	2-3 months	6-8 months
Construction Time	6 months	9-12 months	More than 12 months
Insulation	8 or 9 inch Johns Manville Insulation	6-inch R20 wall squeezed to R14 6-inch R20 roof squeezed to R11	R20 wall R20 roof
Lighting Levels	Reflection of the light off the white interior membrane reduces number of light fixtures required	Requires more lighting fixtures	Requires more lighting fixtures
Maintenance Schedule	Aluminum is virtually maintenance free; self-cleaning exterior architectural membrane; Sprung Shield "vandal-proof" Hard-Wall System to 8'6" level	Standing seam metal roof prone to large thermal movements creating leaking and requires continuous maintenance, especially at penetrations	Regular maintenance is required
Flexibility to Relocate	Yes	No	No
Airtight Building Envelope Efficiency	Air Permeability almost 0, results in excellent energy performance	Poor airtightness	Moderate airtightness
Energy Savings And Operating Costs	Up to 20% energy savings over pre-engineered metal buildings	Poor energy performance	Moderate energy performance
High Ceiling	Excellent clearspan views	Some limitations due to lower interior clear height	Some limitations due to lower interior clear height
Lifespan	Indefinite lifespan simply by replacing exterior membrane every 15-30 years depending on membrane selection	N/A	N/A
