Hoist Up Fabric Doors

Parthenon Door

A fabric paneled retractable structure for long span building openings which uses the fabric as a means to suspend the wind load bearing structures encapsulated within the fabric. A Parthenon style door is suitable to replace bottom rolling steel door structures by virtue of its design efficiency and flexibility.
