Common Fabric Structure Applications
Fabric Enclosures & Architectural Walls
Durable zippers engineered to handle repeated assembly and disassembly, maintaining smooth operation and a precise fit for every installation.
Tensioned Fabric & Panel Systems
Reliable zippers designed for clean alignment and secure fastening, with materials that resist wear from frequent use and environmental exposure.
Modular Fabric Structures & Covers
Heavy-duty performance for large canopy sections, tensile panels, and structural enclosures. Molded tooth #10/#12/#15/#20 handle repeated setup and takedown with a precise, smooth fit, while double-pull and long-pull sliders allow easy access from either side.
Case Study: Enhancing Zipper Performance for Fabric Structures
Client
- A leading fabric structure manufacturer launching a premium line of large-scale canopies and tensile enclosures.
Challenge
- Zippers needed to withstand constant tension, environmental exposure, and repeated assembly/disassembly without compromising fit or performance.
- Every component had to complement the client’s architectural-grade materials and deliver a seamless, high-end aesthetic.
Solution
- Engineered a heavy-duty molded tooth zipper reinforced with UV-stable tapes for maximum outdoor durability.
- Custom color-matched coatings were applied to sliders, ensuring a seamless fit with the client’s premium fabric designs.
- Prototypes successfully endured extended outdoor installations and hundreds of assembly cycles—showing zero jamming, corrosion, or visible wear under real-world conditions.
Outcome
- The upgraded fabric structures earned industry recognition for both functional reliability and design excellence.
- Assembly times decreased by 20%, reducing labor costs and improving overall project efficiency.
- As a result, the client now specifies Lenzip zippers as the standard across all flagship tensile and canopy projects.
