OverviewThe XXL metal-textile building by Schwarzmann provides large clear spans and high internal heights to maximise usable volume while optimising cost. It combines a galvanized steel lattice frame with a pre-stressed composite membrane roof, delivered as a customised solution for temporary or permanent industrial and logistics installations.
Advantages of the offer- Speed: Turnkey delivery in under 6 months.
- Economics: Competitive cost per cubic metre for large-volume storage.
- Eco-designed: Optimised use of materials to reduce resource consumption.
- Durability: Adaptable to changing operational needs and designed for long-term service.
Applications- Industrial warehouses — high-rack storage, production workshops, equipment and process testing
- Logistics and transport hubs
- Bulk storage (aggregates, commodities)
- Wood and paper processing facilities
- Waste management and material recovery sites
- Aircraft hangars
Key product features and construction details- Large-volume solution suited to rack-height storage with wide spans and/or sites with environmental constraints requiring an extra-resistant structure.
- Engineered for severe conditions (coastal, high altitude) with structural calculations complying with local standards and project activity.
- Galvanized steel lattice frame covered by a pre-stressed composite membrane (Serge Ferrari composite fabrics for one-piece, fully welded/bonded roofs), providing consistent finishes and surface translucency for natural lighting.
- Permanent installation comparable to conventional steel tray roofs while delivering coherent industrial/logistics architecture.
- Supplier-managed implementation and site supervision, including coordination of operational equipment supply (openers, lighting, HVAC, etc.).
- Manufacturer range referenced: Schwarzmann large-format metal-textile buildings.
