“We set out to reinvent and develop felt.

“We have a joint mission to scale sustainable innovations to a new level and to make them broadly available through smart product development.” says Franzon from BAUX. The process has been specifically designed to accept material offcuts of varying fibre qualities to eliminate the potential for any further residual waste.įor BAUX, The Loop Factory was an obvious partner to co-create the Acoustic Felt panels. Reducing the industry’s reliance on petroleum derived fibers like polyester, is an important drive to minimize heavy use of virgin synthetic fibers which now account for 1.35% of global oil consumption, according to a landmark report published by the Changing Markets Foundation.Īt the next stage of the felt’s supply chain, recycled threads are combined with energy efficient polyester fibers at The Loop Factory. To create the panels, BAUX sources fabric off cuts made from 100% polyester-based threads from Swedish textile manufacturer Ludvig Svensson. Thank you to Winkler Structures dealer Whiteline Shelters for supplying these photos.The Acoustic Felt is a versatile sound absorbing panel that can be used in many different ways. If you’re considering weather-proofing your fabric structure, don’t lose the light and keep it bright with an insulation package from Winkler Structures. In addition, the polyethylene cover is moisture resistant so you don’t have to worry about gaping insulation. Since all the measuring and cutting is done at the factory, you save time and labour at the job site. This style of insulation also saves time during install. This offers the added benefit of allowing access to the frame for routine inspection and repairs if required. The panels are then Velcro’ed together to create a vapour barrier. The material is cut to fit your building’s profile and laced to the frame. The insulation is translucent and still allows light transmission.

Manufactured by Whiteline Shelters & Tarps, our insulation packages are made with white, polyethylene woven fabric with a layer of bonded polyester in the middle.

This creates gaps in the insulation and allows cold air in, rendering your insulation useless.

If it gets wet, it can sag and fall away from the building. Once in place, it blocks the natural light – a key benefit to a fabric building and you’ve lost access to the building frame. Traditional insulation packages come in bulky rolls and are labour intensive to install. Really, any time weather is a factor or you require heat retention, consider an insulation package from Winkler Structures. Insulating is an excellent idea for recreational complexes, manufacturing facilities, commercial buildings and office space. Insulating your fabric building offers many advantages and allows your structure to be used comfortably in the colder months. Keep Your Building Bright When Insulating / Commercial, Structures /
