Read the Full Story

The Shelter-Rite® Structural Series is engineered for long-term architectural installations where durability, dimensional stability, and design versatility are essential. These fabrics integrate seamlessly with framed and tensioned structures, combining a unique adhesive coat, opaque or back coatings, and advanced exterior coatings to maximize seam strength, tear resistance, and overall structural performance.

This series maintains long-lasting aesthetics with a proprietary face coat that resists UV degradation and environmental exposure. Multiple top finish options provide added protection and allow for design flexibility across complex geometries and tensioned applications. Shelter-Rite Structural Series fabrics offer superior weldability, and coating adhesion, enabling prefabricated panels and precision assembly while balancing strength and flexibility to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.
