Space Frames

At CONSERVATEK, we pride ourselves on “covering space creatively.” In large part, we accomplish this by using space frames. Space frames or space structures are truss-like, lightweight rigid structures constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames usually utilize a multidirectional span, and are often used to accomplish long spans with few supports such as those necessary for roofing systems.

CONSERVATEK, a global leader in space coverings recognized for our engineering and manufacturing excellence, has found a great deal of success using space frames for large roof spans in commercial and industrial buildings. Museums, airport terminals, convention centers and hundreds of like structures around the world boast the benefits of our architectural expertise.

Because our goal is to provide our clients with a long-lasting product that fits within their budget and schedule parameters, we choose to work primarily with aluminum in the design and construction of space frames and roofing systems. While some of our competitors are still utilizing steel for space frames, we prefer the lighter weight of aluminum because its machinability offers greater design and spanning capabilities. As project managers, we work closely with you from project inception to completion, and we keep a keen eye on the cost of products and materials. Using aluminum affords us more budget flexibility because the lighter weight of aluminum results in lower shipping and installation costs.

We design our space frames to resist options, making it aesthetically pleasing. We enjoy the flexibility of aluminum because it can be finished in any color, allowing us to easily match your existing structure. Because it is rust-free, it is considered very low maintenance.
