Barrisol (3)
BARRISOL is the trade name of the ORIGINAL AND WORLDS NO. 1 STRETCH CEILING SYSTEM. The product was developed over 35 years ago by Mr Fernand Scherrer and is manufactured at 2 factories by Normalu SA.
What is a stretch ceiling system?
BARRISOL is a suspended ceiling system consisting of two basic components - a perimeter track and lightweight fabric membrane which stretches and clips into the track. In addition to ceilings the system can be used for wall coverings, light diffusers, floating panels, exhibitions and creative shapes. BARRISOL allows the incorporation of all types of light fixtures, grilles and fixing points by the use of a proprietary background support.

Mechanics
The Uhlmann telescopic giant umbrella design, with cranked lever operation, is exceptionally strong that ensures high wind stability and durability.- A maintenance free gear box (built into the mast) rotates the special spindle lift which is moving the telescoping part.
- The telescopic system is designed with a special spindle lift, so even the largest umbrella folds up above the tables without disturbing their contents, or the guests sitting around the table; a very important feature in the hospitality industry.
- Even the largest umbrellas are easily operated.
Drive
The drive crank handle locks the spindles automatically in every opening/closing position, to prevent accidental opening or closing of the giant umbrella.- The cranking handle is removable.
As an innovative medium-sized German company with offices on three continents, MDT today has a worldwide presence with its sunshade systems, membrane constructions and custom-made products worldwide.
Company-owned welding robots, automated production lines and pre-cut machines guarantee the highest level of quality. More than 20.000 m² production and warehouse space enable us to fulfill urgent delivery requests at short notice.
From its origins as a traditional wood processing manufacture, Müller-Design-Technik has evolved into a high-tech industrial company. Pioneering innovations like the MDT tulip umbrella construction in 1996 lead to MDT becoming one of a few specialists worldwide with a comprehensive product range for unit and serial production of giant umbrellas.
The spirit of innovation shows in many products, particulary the invention of the free-arm umbrella Pendalex, an idea which has won worldwide acceptance. In the fourth generation, headed by Markus Glatz, this family owned company is strong and ready for the future.
Supplying a full range of fibreglass flagpoles made from a mixture of glassfibre matt and polyester resin offering excellent performance and durability. Our flagpoles are highly resistant, maintenance free and made with a thicker conically shaped wall incorporating a wider taper for added strength.

Downloads:Downer International Ltd strives to embrace engineering and architectural values by providing a source of knowledge to create 3 dimensional shapes with outstanding wind and snow load capabilities. Freedom of movement under a large span structured coupled with light translucency, which PVC and PTFE structures offer, distinguishes itself from all other building materials. Our scope of works is as follows;
Design, engineering, supply, installation and maintenance of Tensile Fabric Structures.
We provide the following services and designs:
- Scheme drawings
- Steel general arrangement drawing
- Steel fabrication drawing
- Fabric geometry drawings
- Wind and snow load analysis
Architectural fabric structures come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be inside, outside, permanent, temporary, big, small, air-supported, tensioned or air-inflated. Also referred to as tensioned membrane structures, membrane structures or textile buildings, these unusual forms have played a major role in architecture for the last 40 years.
Designing with Fabric
Designing even simple fabric structures to perform under a variety of conditions can be a complex task. Each component is both visible and structural and relies on all other components to function properly.
The first step in designing a fabric structure is to create a form with sufficient pre-stress or tension. Fabric structures must be clamped to a frame or be pre-stressed in order to avoid “fluttering” like a flag or sail. It is best when designing lightweight structures with minimal surfaces to have what is referred to as “double curvature” to enable the fabric to transmit lateral loads. The degree of clamping or pre-tensioning and curvature are dependent upon the type and weave of the fabric as well as the loads to be supported.
The second step is to determine the boundaries of the tensioned fabric. Boundaries include frames, walls, beams, columns and cables. The fabric is either continuously clamped to frames, walls or beams or attached to columns with membrane plates with adjustable hardware. In most cases the fabric forms a curved edge or “catenary” between connection points requiring a cable, webbing belt or rope to carry loads to the major structural points. Catenaries are usually curved inward from 10 to 15% of the total length of the span. The shallower the curve in the perimeter, the more tension there is in the cable and ultimately in the overall structure and foundation. Very high tension loads can increase the cost of a fabric structure substantially.
Once the primary points have been determined, the third step is referred to as “form finding”. Form finding is the art of discovering the most efficient structure which can be fabricated with as little waste as possible and can be transported and installed with ease, installation and fabrication. The last step in the design process is analyzing the structure’s response to loads, including dead loads and live loads (snow, wind, etc.).
Today, most fabric structures are created using sophisticated computer technology. Computer software not only helps create a 3D model, which can be viewed in various materials and angles, it can be customized to provide information to facilitate fabrication and installation. It can determine the amount of fabric to be used, how it should be cut, the dimension of each piece, the size and length of structural members, the size and length of cables and the hardware the project will need. The designer is also able to modify the shape more easily than with physical models.
The three basic forms associated with tensioned fabric structures are the hypar (hyperbolic paraboloid), the cone, and the barrel vault. The hypar, or simple saddle, is often a square or rectangular form in plan that in elevation is a series of high and low points. Mast- and point-supported structures are cone forms, arch- and frame-supported structures, in which the membrane is supported by a compression member, are barrel vaults
