• Producing

    Productivity is critical to profitability. Companies are always looking for something that will help their employees do more, do it better and give their organization a competitive edge. A space that offers that kind of an edge is more highly valued by the tenant.

    There's no doubt, good lighting improves productivity. The best and most economical lighting for enhancing productivity, is natural lighting, harvested during the workday at no cost whatsoever. Tensotherm provides a pleasing natural light that provides a foundation for productivity within the workspace. Plus, the incredible insulating properties of this amazing material reduces energy costs and provides year-round comfort.

    Sound attenuation also helps employees to focus on their tasks without the added stress of extraneous noises that could be distracting and annoying.

  • Moving

    In large, open spaces, like airports and railway stations, lighting and heating costs tend to remain constant and high because lighting and comfort control must be maintained to suit the changing flow of traffic. Employing the use of daylight harvesting and more efficient insulation reduces the strain on theses systems, minimizing operating cost. This is what Tensotherm provides.

    Plus, Tensotherm is ideal in transportation applications especially for its super-efficient long-spanning capability that provides unobstructed views.

    Additionally, the soft, pleasing daylight creates a calming effect and helps travelers relax. Reducing stimuli in an airport, for example, is a benefit to travelers and workers within the space. Public address announcements, lighted signs, restaurants and shops, shuttle vehicles, crowds, TV monitors, schedule displays – all compete for the attention of the senses. Tensotherm's acoustic damping attenuates nerve-wracking background sounds and works with the subdued daylight to create a more peaceful space.

  • Relaxing

    It's difficult to enjoy a rock concert or orchestra in an amphitheater with concrete walls and a hard roof or ceiling. Bouncing sound degrades the quality of the performance, making it impossible to hear the full spectrum of sound being produced.

    However, a Tensotherm roof is an efficient temperature insulating, noise attenuating, daylight harvesting fabric blanket that creates a perfect venue for entertaining or performing.

    With Tensotherm, lighting effects are more dramatic, sound is improved and events are more enjoyable.

    Plus, by utilizing Tensotherm – installed in tension – a long-span roof without obstructed views can be created.

  • Healing

    Patient care and patient comfort are as highly interrelated as the words hospital and hospitality. In a medical setting, Tensotherm provides a comforting, natural light as sunlight passes through it and into the habitable space. Studies show that patient recovery rates improve with the addition of daylighting.

    The hustle and bustle of a hospital can produce noise that’s naturally upsetting to resting patients. Tensotherm will attenuate the noise associated with a busy workplace and allow patients to rest and heal without annoying disturbances.

    Tensotherm's incredible insulating properties will also help patients and staff stay comfortable year-round with tremendous energy efficiency.

  • Learning

    Studies have demonstrated that there is a direct correlation between the quality of interior lighting and student success in the classroom. Additionally, a positive correlation has been drawn between daylighting and classroom achievement.

    If that weren't enough, what school district wouldn't opt for a roof that delivered ample natural light and helped attenuate distracting noise created by activity within the space? Tensotherm's exceptional insulating properties also reduce operating costs while keeping students and staff comfortable in any climate or season.

  • Selling

    Imagine walking into a dynamic new shopping mall with a grand, flowing roof overhead. Natural daylight glows from the canopy aloft. The temperature is comfortable and, despite the level of activity, the space is not noisy, but instead relaxed.

    That's the kind of design vision that can be accomplished with Tensotherm. It has an incredible insulating ability, it absorbs noise and it allows natural daylight to gently pass through.

    Retail centers around the world demonstrate this vision with efficient energy use, lower construction and operating costs, and designs that stimulate the imagination and make shopping more exciting, more relaxing, more comfortable and more fun. Studies show that these benefits lead to increased sales.

  • Competing

    Tensotherm makes a perfect roof for sports venues, where long-span roofing with unobstructed sight lines are a must. Its daylight harvesting provides an even light and reduces the need for artificial lighting. The reflective bright white surface promotes indirect lighting and reduces shadows, which improves the quality of play. Additionally, a Tensotherm roof helps reduce the reflection of sound within the space that we hear as noise.

    With many sports venues in schools, universities or public buildings, it's good to know that Tensotherm is a cost-effective solution which will also reduce operating costs. Put simply, Tensotherm's exceptional insulating capability saves energy.
