Why Shelter-Rite® Is the Trusted Choice for Durable Architectural Fabric Structures

When it comes to architectural fabric structures, longevity, durability, and return on investment (ROI) are extremely important. Shelter-Rite® by Seaman Corporation stands out as a premier choice, offering a blend of strength, ease of maintenance, and long-term value that few materials can match. 

Engineered for Durability

Shelter-Rite fabrics are crafted with a high-tenacity polyester base and a proprietary coating formula, resulting in exceptional tensile, tear, and seam strength. This ensures resistance to UV degradation, mildew, and extreme weather conditions, making it ideal for various climates and applications.

Real-World Applications Across Industries

The versatility of Shelter-Rite is evident in its diverse applications:

• Sports Facilities: In Dammam, Saudi Arabia, the Sports for All Federation's air-supported dome utilizes Shelter-Rite with DuPont™ Tedlar® coating to withstand intense desert heat, providing a year-round venue for multiple sports and community events.
  
  
  
• Resorts: A resort in Pine Mountain, Georgia, boasts a Shelter-Rite structure that has served as an event space for over 45 years, highlighting the fabric's longevity and aesthetic appeal.
  
  
  
• Performing Arts: The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota, Florida, features a Shelter-Rite entrance canopy that not only enhances the building's appearance but also provides durable protection against the elements in a high-risk location for hurricanes.
  
  
  

Ease of Maintenance

Shelter-Rite's smooth surface and resistance to environmental factors mean structures require minimal upkeep. This low maintenance quality translates to reduced operational costs and sustained aesthetic quality, ensuring structures remain visually appealing over time.

Long-Term ROI

Investing in Shelter-Rite has the potential to offer significant long-term savings. Its durability reduces the need for frequent replacements, and its energy-efficient properties can potentially lead to lower heating and cooling costs. Compared to conventional brick-and-mortar construction, fabric structures offer significant cost advantages—not just in materials, but also in permitting, labor, and installation. Plus, with faster build times, you are up and running sooner, generating value instead of waiting on construction.

Proven. Reliable. Built to Last.
