Designed for both durability and visual appeal, our solutions offer reliable UV protection and help create cooler, more comfortable environments—perfect for commercial, recreational, and residential applications alike. Especially valuable during the harsh summer months, our systems not only enhance outdoor spaces but also promote safety and energy efficiency through innovative, sustainable design.
Q SHADING offers complete service for every project from the ground up.
Through our trusted vendor alliances, deep industry expertise, and careful project preparation, we deliver a true turn-key solution—from the first concept sketch to final fabrication, installation, and delivery of your bespoke shade structure.
Whether working with architects, designers, contractors, or builders, we ensure every structure we produce is authentic, high-quality, and never a cheap imitation.
Our modular structures offer durable, cost-effective weather protection, while our custom designs can completely transform any space with striking architectural impact.
Above all, we are committed to helping clients develop practical, visually impressive projects—delivered on time and within budget.
Design and Fabrication
In the design and fabrication of a tensile structure, it is important to consider certain recommendations.
An engineering design of the structure will determine the life expectancy and low cost of your project.
During the fabrication of a premium-grade textile and membrane, it is essential to have the necessary form-finding software knowledge and equipment in order to optimize the good performance and quality of the product.
Our company provides designers, architects, contractors, and builders with membrane solutions. Our knowledge and equipment allow us to meet fast-track schedules and provide the highest production quality.
Installation and Construction
As a design-build company, Q SHADING offers the necessary expertise thru our vendor alliance network to fully construct and install any type of tensile structure in order to achieve the ultimate results.
​
Once our team has concluded with the design and fabrication process, our experienced network crew coordinates and successfully installs each structure on schedule.
​
Because of its lightweight nature, fabric is easily transported and makes it one of the most sustainable and cost-effective building materials.
Engineering
Tensile structures are mainly conformed by a series of elements; the structure, the membrane, the hardware, and the rigging components.
To obtain a high-quality project, it is essential to find a perfect balance between these elements and ensure our structures achieve the performance of each element in order for the loads to be transferred equally and effectively throughout the whole tensile structure.
WIND TUNNEL
DETAILS AND CONNECTIONS
Nowadays most National and International Codes require to perform a software wind tunnel study to analyze the different wind pressures that will affect the structure.
For medium to large-scale projects, it is very important to detect the sensitive points of the structure by designing a stable and strong project to assure the performance of the membrane extending the longevity of the product.
Structural details are the main component to take into account during the design of a tensile cover. We recognize that every project is unique and every client is a valued partner.
Our structural attention to detail creates and generates engineered aesthetically pleasing connections that have greater performance than typical ones.
