Modular Systems from Birdair, Inc. Combine Form, Function and Economy

July 23, 2009 - PRLog -- BUFFALO, NY…Birdair, Inc., the leading specialty contractor of lightweight long-span roofing systems and tensile structures throughout the world, also offers an assortment of pre-engineered Modular Systems.

Birdair Modular Systems combine the visual appeal of a custom designed fabric structure with the economic advantages of a pre-engineered system. Designed to integrate harmoniously with natural environments and building composition, Modular Systems serve as an elegant and functional addition to the exterior building environment.

“Modular Systems offer the perfect means to enhance and beautify any outdoor architectural environment,” says Michele Roth, Birdair marketing manager. “Their ability to cost-effectively visually transform ordinary landscapes and streetscapes is unsurpassed. Additionally, architects appreciate their distinguished contour edge detail.”

Modular Systems are available in a range of shapes, sizes and colors, and are designed to function as permanent installations with no umbrella-type closeable operation. The supporting structural steel frame features a standard two-part paint, hot-dipped galvanized, marine-grade 316 stainless steel. The standard PVC (polyvinyl chloride) canopy is waterproof, anti-fungal, UV resistant and easy-to-clean. As a result, Modular Systems maintain a long life with low maintenance requirements. While standard Modular Systems feature white PVC, colored PVC and PTFE fiberglass membranes are also available.  

Like Birdair’s range of Architectural Umbrellas, Modular Systems are highly adaptable architectural enhancements and well suited for a variety of building sectors. Modular Systems can be linked with a single or continuous “skin,” or canopy depending on the chosen configuration option and are available in standard sizes as well as in customized sizes and designs. Birdair Modular Systems come with fabric and cable fittings assembled for easy installation onto supporting structural steel. Their sleek look suggests a feeling of lightness that streamlines the overall design of the structure.

Architects, building owners and property developers continue to select Birdair Modular Systems for a variety of applications including sports facilities, building entrances, cafés, outdoor markets, retail and entertainment complexes, walkways, streetscapes and more.
