FAQ

1.What are the advantages of membrane buildings?

Membrane structures offer the unique combination of being lightweight, flexible, and strong. They provide a sense of safety and security while enabling bright and beautiful spaces. Their simple structural design and lightweight materials help reduce total project costs. Additionally, membrane fabrics with high light transmittance allow natural daylight into the space, reducing energy consumption for lighting during the day.

2.Are there any safety concerns regarding snow loads or strong winds?

No, there are no safety issues. Our membrane structures can be engineered in compliance with the building codes and environmental conditions of your country or region, including snow loads, wind speeds, and other local factors. We tailor each design to ensure safety and structural integrity under relevant regulations.

3.Can the building be used for purposes other than a warehouse?

Yes, membrane structures can be used for various applications such as workshops, sports facilities, façades, sunshades, and weather shelters. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your specific needs.

4.What kind of optional features are available?

We offer various options, including large membrane hangar doors, shutters, ventilation fans, and eaves. If you require additional equipment or customization, please let us know.

5.Is it necessary to install lighting?

Our original membrane fabric (white SIKI series) has a high light transmittance of 19%, which allows daylight to enter the building. In many cases, artificial lighting is unnecessary during the day. However, lighting can be added upon request.

6.What is the typical delivery time after placing an order?

Delivery times depend on the size and specifications of the structure. For a building of around 500 m², it typically takes about two months for production and 10 days for installation.

7.What is the expected lifespan of a membrane building?

Lifespan depends on usage, climate, and membrane material type. Generally, membrane roofs last 10–15 years, while the supporting steel structure can last over 30 years. We can recommend the most suitable fabric for your specific project.

8.Is it possible to repair or replace damaged membrane fabric?

Yes. Small tears can be repaired using the same type of fabric and special adhesive. For larger damage (over 50 cm), please contact us for a professional assessment and repair solution.

9.What types of membrane materials are available?

We offer a wide range of membrane fabrics, including:
- Fireproof or flame-retardant types
- Transparent or light-blocking materials
- Heat-insulating or heat-blocking options
- Stain-resistant and anti-condensation inner membranes

10.Can flammable items be stored in a membrane warehouse?

Yes, membrane warehouses can be designed to safely store combustible items. We offer specialized membrane fabrics and structural designs to suit the material type and required safety level. Please consult us for tailored solutions.

11.How do I clean and maintain a membrane building?

Use a special membrane cleaner or neutral detergent for regular cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that may damage the fabric.
