Tent warehouses can be a powerful solution to such problems.

A decade ago, many people had an image of tent warehouses as fragile, but today, with advances in technology and products that utilize steel plates for exterior walls, durability has improved dramatically.

Just as important as preparing for disaster is the regular maintenance of your tent warehouse. The membrane materials we offer are mainly two systems with polyester and glass cloth as the base fabric. This is coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In addition, titanium dioxide is used to provide an antifouling treatment that has a powerful “organic matter decomposition function” and “hydrophilic function” that decomposes and removes contaminants from the surface of the membrane material itself.

In other words, it is possible to clean the tent membrane by natural means.

However, the resin that coats the membrane inevitably deteriorates due to the effects of ultraviolet rays. If left unchecked, this can lead to membrane rupture, through which outside air and rain can penetrate into the storage area. Frequent maintenance increases the durability of the building. Replacement should also be done as needed.

We offer a ” Membrane Material Deterioration Diagnosis, Repair and Repair Service ” to address the aging and deterioration of these tent warehouses. Based on the results of the inspection and diagnosis, we will propose a maintenance plan.
