Advantages of automatic drop roofs

This type of tarpaulin roof is not too strange to the market, however, these are short, small spans that do not require too much special protection or operation. In today's era, the automatic element has become more popular and convenient than ever, so Flexiiform has combined these two elements to create a self-rolling roof system that promptly meets high demand. of the market, with the following outstanding advantages:

  • Overcome large span (6m).

  • Steel frame: Manufactured from galvanized steel and finished with epoxy paint for corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength.
  • Joints: Joints between canvas layers help increase wind resistance. Couplings are usually made from aluminum bars or galvanized steel.
  • Control box: the box includes 3 mechanical buttons Open, Close, Stop and an on/off button for power to the control box.

Actual project of automatic drop roof

  • Flexiiform has just replaced the manual drop canvas system at the gymnasium of French International School District 9 Maguerite Duras.

    Reality: The old tarpaulin system, the tarpaulin part is torn in many places, becomes less aesthetically pleasing and loses its original function. As for the rolling bar, because the column span is quite large (more than 6m), additional support must be attached in the middle of the rolling bar to avoid sagging. However, over a long period of use, the canvas rolled at the support becomes wrinkled, leading to tearing of the canvas. In addition, because it uses a manual rolling mechanism, it takes a lot of time and effort to open and close.

    Understanding the above needs, Flexiiform launched an automatic canvas roof system to help customers solve outstanding problems, while bringing aesthetics to the area and enhancing the image of the business.
