Commitment to Quality Materials
Fabric Building Materials - Quality Tension Membrane Engineering
Selection of quality materials is a critical part of Rubb's commitment to quality.
Choice of Materials and Detailing
- Foundation requirements for Rubb structures are typically lower than for traditional metal and concrete constructiom, largely due to the ability of our structures to withstand moderate differential foundation settlement
- All welded structural steel components post-production are hot-dip galvanized to the ASTM A-123 standard after fabrication to provide superior corrosion protection
- Standard 28 oz/sy PVC coated polyester membrane with PVDF top finish, complete fire safety testing certifications and a proven record of reliability
- Flange joints, cable elements, hardware and trim finishes properly sized and detailed
- Structural trusses properly braced with horizontal purlins and frames at regular intervals to provide appropriate lateral bracing
- Vertical side and gable walls and planar roof surfaces provide for interface with standard doors, mechanical systems and allow alternate wall cladding materials
