Reinforced PVC fabric comes in different thickness (weight). For air-forms up to 7.0m in diameter we use approximately 470 gms fabric increasing in weight as the diameter size increases. Some systems leave the air-form over the shell for waterproofing in which case the UV properties of the air form need to be the best possible.

Cabanas no Rio by Aires Mateus Lisbon studio Aires Mateus used only reclaimed timber to construct this pair of waterfront cabins in Grândola, Portugal (+ slideshow). Named Cabanas no Rio, which translates as cabins on the river, the two rustic structures offer a rural retreat for a pair of inhabitants. One hut contains a living area, with a simple counter that can be used for preparing food, while the other accommodates a bedroom with a small toilet and sheltered outdoor shower. Architects Aires Mateus used recycled wooden panels to build the walls, floors, roof and fittings of the two structures, leaving the material exposed both inside and out. The edge of the roof sits flush with the walls, plus the wood is expected to change colour as it exposed to the weather. "The wharf is medieval and assembled with wood," said the architects, explaining their material choice.
