World Of Membranes
Hightex is a world leader in tensile structures and fabric architecture. We create tensile fabric and pneumatic cushion structures using membranes such as PTFE, PVC and ETFE for countless application types, ranging from temporary transportable structures to technically advanced airport terminal buildings.
We are able to offer free form aesthetic individual fabric structures that can be fully transparent, coloured, retractable or thermally efficient.
The project shown here is an example of one of the many types Hightex has completed from an unrivalled list of over 800 structures worldwide.
