When it comes to temporary building structures and enclosures, many companies consider fabric structures as their go-to solution. However, Kelly Klosure’s modular panel structures are engineered to be a superior alternative to these fabric options—offering unmatched durability, flexibility, and value.
Here’s why Kelly Klosure’s modular structures stand out as the ideal choice for any project requiring a temporary building or enclosure up to 60’ wide.
Superior Durability
Unlike fabric structures that have a limited lifespan and often require replacement every 15 years, Kelly Klosure’s modular buildings are built with 100% steel structured panels, ensuring an unlimited lifespan. These structures are designed for industrial use, providing peace of mind for businesses or organizations that want a long-lasting, dependable solution.
100% Non-Combustible Construction
Safety is paramount when it comes to temporary enclosures. Kelly Klosure’s steel panel construction is completely non-combustible, offering superior fire resistance compared to the flame-retardant-only options of typical fabric structures.
Relocatable and Adaptable
One of the key advantages of Kelly Klosure’s modular buildings is that they can be moved intact with a crane or disassembled and relocated to a new site. While fabric structures require disassembly for relocation, Kelly Klosure’s modular systems save valuable time and resources.
Insulation Options for All Climates
Whether your project needs to withstand the chill of winter or the heat of summer, Kelly Klosure has you covered. Their modular structures offer optional factory-installed R-13 or R-20 rigid insulation, with the ability to add more R-values upon request. This level of insulation exceeds what typical fabric structures with fiberglass batt insulation can offer, ensuring a more comfortable and efficient temporary space.
Easy Foundation Requirements
Both Kelly Klosure structures and fabric structures share a simple foundation requirement for temporary applications, eliminating the need for complex site preparations.
Removable Roof Sections for Maximum Flexibility
Kelly Klosure’s modular structures come with removable roof sections, making them more adaptable to changing needs—an option you won’t find with most fabric enclosures.
Built for Extreme Conditions
When it comes to handling extreme design loads like hurricanes, seismic events, and heavy snow, Kelly Klosure’s buildings meet IBC code requirements. Fabric structures, on the other hand, often have undetermined load capabilities, potentially leaving your project exposed to risk.
Speed and Ease of Construction
Kelly Klosure structures can be erected at a rate of up to 1,000 square feet per day, similar to the speed of typical fabric structures. However, with Kelly Klosure, any construction-savvy crew can erect the structure with assistance from field service representatives. Fabric structures typically require specialized erectors, which can add to overall project costs and complexity.
