How to Select The Right Material for Your Temporary Construction Tent?
>> Jan 3, 2018
Construction
tents serve as protective shelters and storage units. They need to be strong
and dependable. They should be able to inspire a sense of safety and security
among your employees. In addition to all these qualities, they should be easy
to assemble and break down, without eating into the project time. Therefore,
right now, the top construction companies prefer fabric tents that are mobile
and cost-effective.
Just
like the priorities and necessities of each company, the structure and building
material of each tent can vary. The fabric weight and the coating should
ideally differ according to the weather conditions, specific requirements and
budgets of different construction agencies. It brings us to the most critical
question — how should a designer pick the material for his construction tent?
To answer this question, we first need to address a few other issues.
What will be the function of this
tent?
Do
you need a camping tent or a sun tent? A sun tent needs rubberized fabric that
can breathe. A camping tent needs a PVC plastic coating on the fabric. The
ideal construction tent should come with a layer on both sides of the fiber to
provide optimum protection from the weather and mechanical damage.
Is your area or site susceptible to
microbial growth?
There
are certain climates and specific weather conditions that facilitate the growth
of microbes on fabric. It can cause the fabric to wear down and allow water,
dust and other irritants to enter the tent space. Machines and equipment can
face damage from exposure to these elements. It also poses a severe risk to the
health of your employees. You must speak with your manufacturer to ensure that
the fiber of your choice is microbe retardant before you proceed with
construction.
Is your fiber of choice
flame-retardant?
Construction
sites are not always safe. That is precisely why your tent material needs to be
fire retardant. The fiber needs to have a protective coating that can restrict
the spread of flames. Many construction sites deal with wielding and soldering.
That puts any tent and its contents in immediate danger. Always talk to your
manufacturer about the kind of flame retardants and fireproofing material they
use before you commission their services for the safety of your employees and
your equipment.
Have you found out about the costs?
No
matter which fiber you choose and what kind of tent structure you pick, your
construction tent should not cause the budget to explode. Construction tents
should be able to support a project and help the construction agency meet their
deadlines within budget. Instead of beating about the bush, you need to talk to
the manufacturer directly about the cost of each variant. Some of the
old-school types involve considerable maintenance cost, and you need to inquire
thoroughly about the overheads before you rent your tent for the construction
site.
Several
research materials can help you find out all you need to know to pick the best
construction tent for your company.
