THE ADVANTAGES OF TEXTILE CONSTRUCTION

As a specialist in textile construction (and wood construction), SMC2 has been promoting the advantages of this type of construction ever since its foundation.

The advantages of textile construction are :

• The use of ecological and recyclable materials
• A reduction in energy costs;
• Better acoustic, thermal and lighting comfort;
• Reduced manufacturing costs;
• Modern and airy architecture.

Zoom in on the advantages of textile construction, which has been advocated and mastered for over 20 years by the SMC2 teams.

TEXTILE CONSTRUCTION: FOR AN ECOLOGICAL CONSTRUCTION

In a global context focused on environmental issues and preservation of the environment, many local authorities and private companies are investing in the search for eco-responsible construction.
For the construction of gymnasiums, sports halls and industrial warehouses, it is now a question of using ecological, sustainable and environmentally friendly building materials. Already a specialist in wood construction, an excellent natural material, SMC2 has been working for several years to integrate textile construction on its sites. The main objective: to deliver environmentally friendly buildings. From the choice of materials to the implementation of the construction sites and the management of energy during the operation of the buildings, SMC2 applies itself on a daily basis to reduce the environmental impact of your construction projects to a minimum.

TEXTILE CONSTRUCTION: FOR ECONOMICAL CONSTRUCTION

In another context, economic this time, marked by difficulties to release the necessary budgets for the construction of sports infrastructures or industrial buildings, textile construction highlights another of its strong points: its accessible cost.
Buildings covered with textile membranes appear today to be less expensive than buildings constructed using traditional solutions. Both during construction and operation, a building for which textile architecture has been chosen meets these budgetary constraints perfectly. Thanks to its expertise, SMC2 has been able to put in place efficient and sustainable processes to combine construction, environment and savings.

TEXTILE CONSTRUCTION: FOR A MORE COMFORTABLE CONSTRUCTION

The third advantage of textile construction is the level of comfort offered by the choice of a textile cover. In order to meet your expectations and those of your teams, SMC2 details the different contributions of textile construction in terms of comfort, with three main priorities:

• Optimal light supply with natural, zenithal lighting, without dark or glaring areas;
• Better acoustic comfort thanks to sound absorption and a significant reduction in possible noise pollution;
• Better indoor temperature management thanks to low thermal inertia, making it easier to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature throughout the year.

TEXTILE CONSTRUCTION: FOR AN AESTHETICALLY MODERN CONSTRUCTION

The final advantage of textile construction is the aesthetic criterion. Combined with the creativity of our design office, the characteristics of textile construction finally make it possible to give life to buildings with a contemporary architecture.

This prestigious technology is at the origin of some of the most original textile roofs and facades (please see our Achievements section to see some examples). Far from resembling traditional constructions, the constructions based on textile architecture and proposed by the SMC2 company are thus used to deliver sports and leisure complexes or industrial warehouses resolutely inscribed in modernity. All are designed to integrate harmoniously into their environment and to meet the architectural requirements of their future owners. For a construction that is environmentally friendly, economical and comfortable to use, choose textile construction and let SMC2’s expertise guide you.
