Shelter-Rite® Architectural FabricsShelter-Rite® Architectural Fabrics

Optimized for mobility, flexibility, and ease of installation.

This series includes lighter-weight fabrics engineered for applications where quick setup, portability, and frequent handling are essential—such as tent structures, temporary pavilions, and event spaces.

Ideal Installations

Tent structures, mobile shelters, seasonal enclosures

Attributes

Lightweight, easy to tension, high flexibility, excellent weldability

Designed for structures that prioritize flexibility, mobility, and ease of installation, the Shelter-Rite® Lightweight Series delivers reliable performance where lighter membrane weight and efficient handling are essential. These architectural fabrics feature our unique weft-inserted knit polyester design, providing excellent tensile, tear, and seam strength while remaining lightweight and easy to tension.

Lightweight Series fabrics maintain long-lasting aesthetics through our proprietary face coat formula and mildew-resistant back coat, extending durability in seasonal, mobile, or tent structures. Three types of top finishes, including Acrylic, PVDF, and Tedlar® PVF add protection against the elements and allow a broad range of color options, supported by our on-site color-matching capabilities.

With exceptional weldability, coating adhesion, and dimensional stability, this series enables prefabricated panels that are easy to handle, assemble, and maintain. It resists UV damage, weathering, and moisture wicking.
