Tensile membrane fabric for creating shaded areas in recreational pools
Tensile membrane fabric for creating shaded areas in recreational pools
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), overexposure to sunlight is the widely accepted underlying cause of harmful effects on the skin, eye and immune system.

WHO have provided a list of simple precautions that can easily be adapted:
  • limiting time spent under the midday sun which is when the sun's UV rays are the strongest
  • adopting sun safety practices when the UV Index predicts high exposure levels
  • seeking shade such as trees, umbrellas or canopies
  • wearing protective clothing and applying sunscreen
  • avoiding sunlamps or tanning parlours
With the Australian summer season only months away, many will be cooling off in aquatic centres, beaches and in their own backyard swimming pools.

Whilst sun shades do not offer complete sun protection, it would certainly help minimise the risk to the sun's harmful UV rays.

A company such as Fabritecture provides an additional element to shade structures by offering a range of tensile membrane fabric structures that cover:
  • canopies and shade sails
  • carpark covers
  • aquatic centres or recreational pools
  • sporting enclosures
  • resorts
  • shade structures for education facilities and commercial developments
  • cultural venues and events
  • full turnkey developments
The tensile membranes provides protection from various weather elements without shutting out the view and the natural light.

The key benefit, of course, is that these architectural membranes can withstand winds, the harshest sun and the wettest weather conditions.

The tensile membrane fabric structures are lightweight, cost-effective and easy to construct.
