Contrary to popular belief the fabric used for tensile fabric structures is generally not stretchy. In fact a non stretchy fabric is preferred, as it offers the best predictability for the design and installation of the structure. Stretchy fabrics such as ‘Lycra’ and other ‘Lycra’ based fabrics can be used for certain applications but due to their low fire retardency, can generally not be used for interior or exhibition use in the India.
