SAJ Tensile Architecture

Tensile architecture is a relatively new field of architecture devoted to lightweight membrane structures, to cover new or exciting areas to provide shade support structures. It is an upcoming concept in the Indian Sub-continent, finding space in different application areas and becomes the first preferred choice for the architects and builders. This innovative form of construction art provides designers and end users a variety of aesthetic free-form canopy designs and are engineered and fabricated to meet worldwide structural, flame retardant, weather proofing and natural forces requirements. More significantly, protection from the sun’s harmful Ultra Violet (UV) rays has become increasingly important in recent times. Greater awareness of Ozone depletion and recent defining litigation on ‘duty of care’ with respect to the current Skin Cancer epidemic (particularly its deadliest form, Melanoma), have combined to accelerate the growth of the Shade Industry. It’s a permanent structures having warranty of 25 years. Unlike most Shade Companies, SAJ Tensile Architecture has the engineering and technical capabilities to design and build all types of fabric structures using HDPE, PVC, PTFE and ETFE fabrics.

Tensile membrane is the most fascinating and environment-friendly building material, used to create vast spans, light flooded spaces, and unique lighting effects. They are translucent to create a background of natural soft light, transparent to highlight interior settings with a sense of being under the open sky, shaded for a cool outside environment, acoustic to optimize an interior space, foldable or retractable, from umbrellas to stadium roofs, temporary for exhibition or seasonal applications.


Seeing people’s burgeoning response to this new concept which is economical and ecological in features, more and more overseas tensile manufacturers are making their way in to the country through distributorship or dealership tie ups. SAJ Tensile Architecture also has a strategic alliance with United Arab Emirates under the name of Shade Art LLC and Sheds World Industries LLC and accomplishing major projects with the Ministry of Public works, Ministry of Education, ADNOC, and other government department & private players, SAJ intend to bring to Indian sub-continent a lifelong shade structured designed in Dubai but manufactured and installed in India by them.


In addition, SAJ has Alliance with Middle East, European and Australian Consultants for design, manufacturing and installation of HDPE, PVC and PTFE projects. The company is able to execute small and large projects professionally in India to specified engineering standards with international quality.
