Cover-All  Building Brighter Cooler Buildings


COVER-ALL® buildings have lower maintenance & operational costs


With a Cover-All® building, ongoing costs such as lighting are reduced or non-existent, depending on the use of the building. Building designs can incorporate options to manage the ventilation naturally and more efficiently with less need for forced airflow ventilation systems which are costly, noisy and require regular
maintenance.

DuraWeave® covers are virtually maintenance free. They do not trap dust and dirt nor do they require painting or shingling to maintain their clean appearance.

If interior lighting is required for night-time use, because of the bright white underside of the DuraWeave® cover, fewer lights are needed and the light is more evenly distributed. This means costs savings, not only on the utility costs for power but also reduced initial costs for the additional lighting.
