A lightweight and sheer habutai silk might be 8 mommes ("8mm"); a
Fabric structure In some cases, no lighting is required as the fabric used is generally translucent, which makes it an energy efficient solution. Mobility: You can move them, either on wheels or relocate them completely. Savings: They cost about half of what a traditional structure costs. Fabric properties: When discussing fabric properties for use on a structure, there are several terms that are commonly used: Tensile strength is a basic indicator of relative strength. It is fundamental for architectural fabrics that function primarily in tension. Tear Strength is important in that if a fabric ruptures in place, it generally will do so
