    One advantage of fabric buildings is that the fabric cladding has natural translucency, allowing sunlight to flood into your structure. Using natural light has several advantages in fabric buildings over trying to brighten a dark building with artificial lighting.

    Save Energy

    One of the most obvious benefits of using natural light saving on your energy bill. On a sunny day, a fabric building may not need any artificial lighting at all. The savings on lights installed and powered can be significant over the life of the building.

    More Pleasant Environment

    Think about the first sunny days after a long winter. Ever notice that people seem to be in a better mood? The same can be true inside your fabric structure. Whether your building will be used for work or recreation, the people inside will appreciate the sunlit feel - without worrying about applying sunscreen!

    More Natural Feel

    If your building will be used for athletic or equestrian practice, your athletes will appreciate practicing in a more natural environment. The sunlight, clearspan space and superior sound quality combine to make the interior of a fabric building feel more like the outside.

    Better for the Environment

    And of course, using less energy will mean a smaller carbon footprint. Sunlight is a completely renewable resource; using it to light your building is an easy, practical step to becoming more "green." Learn more about the sustainability of fabric buildings on our website.
