Lightweight tensioned structures of various shapes

The light weight and flexibility of composite membranes enable the creation of shade structures in a wide variety of original shapes. They offer user comfort by protecting against bad weather and the heat of the sun.

Ideal for shade structures and open air building roofs

Tensioned structures are ideal for protecting assets (parking lots) and people (pedestrian walkways, park canopies, bus or train stations, covered playgrounds, etc.). They are also suitable for covering open-air structures, such as amphitheaters and sports complexes. 

Lightweight, high performance materials

With its Précontraint technology, Serge Ferrari has developed a wide-range of high performance composite materials, all with excellent stability and proven quality. Serge Ferrari's Flexlight membranes are a perfect example of the company's environmental approach: they are eco-designed and can be recycled via Texyloop.
