Why Is Membrane Structure So Popular?

The application of membrane structure in our lives has become more and more extensive. If you pay attention to it, you will find that membrane structure has been applied to many buildings in our lives. For example, membrane structure stadiums, membrane structure stands, membrane structure landscapes, etc. are all common buildings. So why are membrane structures so popular?

1. Large-span architectural space

Because of its light weight, membrane buildings can be designed and used flexibly and creatively, without the need for a large span to cover the space of the inner support surface.

2. Reduce energy consumption

The film material has high reflectivity, low light absorption and low thermal conductivity, which greatly prevents solar energy from entering the room. In addition, the translucency of the film material ensures proper natural diffused light to illuminate the room.

3. Good self-cleaning ability

Nowadays, many membrane materials generally have anti-fouling coatings. During use, they can rely on natural wind and rain to maintain self-cleaning. This not only greatly reduces the frequency of cleaning and maintenance of the architectural membrane surface, but also ensures the membrane material Beautiful and translucent.

4. Better economic benefits

The weight of the membrane building roof is only 1/30 of the weight of the conventional steel roof, which reduces the cost of the wall and foundation. At the same time, the unique shape and night scene effect of the membrane building has obvious building recognition and commercial effects, and its cost-effectiveness is higher.

5. Fire and earthquake resistance

The membrane materials used in the membrane structure are all synthetic materials, most of which have excellent flame retardancy, and will not melt at high temperatures, and will not produce toxic gases, which ensures that they can be very good To meet the fire protection requirements, the membrane structure is light in weight, flexible in structural support, has great flexibility, and can offset strong lateral loads, so its seismic performance is very excellent.

6. Short construction period

All processing and production in the membrane structure construction project are completed in the factory, which reduces on-site construction time and avoids construction overlap. Compared with traditional construction methods, the construction period of membrane structures can be shortened by at least half.
