Each tension attachment system is engineered to specific performance criteria. CAD modeling is used to confirm constructability and to coordinate work points. Shop drawings are supplied and sealed to local requirements.

Tension façades may include branding elements such as graphic images and illumination. Panels may be perforated, plain or a combination of the two to create a unique appearance. Finish options include standard colors, Porcelite's full color imaging or ImagePerf™, which employs a customized perforation pattern to create a unique image.

Stainless steel cables blend inconspicuously into the façade and are maintenance free. The façade shields the building from sunlight which reduces energy costs for air-conditioning. The application can also be used to allow free air flow through the openings

The stainless steel cables transfer the load to the building structure and eliminate the need for heavy support assemblies. After the cable system is tensioned to the façade the panels are then installed with engineered clips. The simplicity of the system reduces both material and installation cost and lowers the duration of the installation cycle.
