Aluminium Substructure
Sprung utilizes an extruded military-grade aluminum substructure which provides superior performance, durability, and longevity. The Sprung aluminum substructure has an indefinite life expectancy and comes with a 50-year pro-rata guarantee. Our one-piece extruded aluminum I-beam with membrane retainer is engineered to endure extreme weather and environmental conditions.
Specific Advantages of Aluminum over Steel
-
Rust proof: Essential when integrated with an architectural membrane exterior.
-
Lightweight: Ideal for shipping to remote locations and easier to erect.
-
Versatile: Aluminum can be extruded into virtually any shape. Connections are bolted, not welded.
-
Environmentally Friendly: Aluminum is 100% recyclable, with no generational loss of quality.
-
Extruded Membrane Retainer: Our one piece extruded aluminum I-beam, complete with membrane retainer, eliminates the need for a separate bolt on membrane retainer system, as typically found on fabric buildings which use a steel substructure.
-
Aluminum Is Infinitely Recyclable: There is nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced still in use today.
