Concrete Canvas is a British brand that offers a “building in a bag” concept, using concrete cloth that only needs air and water to build. It is durable, affordable, and useful in disaster areas, refugee camps, and war zones. The product takes only 12 hours to build and offers more protection than tents. The developers are two engineering students from London who have patented the idea, and it has won awards. It could be used by aid agencies, military construction, and homeowners as a storm shelter.
Concrete Canvas is a British brand for a revolutionary concept known generically as concrete cloth. The concrete canvas is referred to as a “building in a bag,” which only needs air and water to complete the build. Some people scoffed at the idea, but these structures have proven durable and incredibly useful. Consider the convenience of such a product in a disaster area, refugee camp or war zone.
A concrete tent-like structure obviously offers much more protection than even the highest quality tent. Prefab metal buildings have been used in situations where concrete canvas is likely to be used, but the former are not only expensive in terms of material and delivery, but also require more time and hassle to construct. Concrete canvas structures only take about 12 hours to build and be ready to use.
The Concrete Canvas bag is filled with water and then inflated with air. No measurement is necessary as the volume of the bag is limited. Just fill, inflate and use. These concrete canvas structures look similar to igloo-shaped tents but offer the protection of concrete when completed. Even better, Concrete Canvas offers a sterile option, which will undoubtedly prove to be a huge boon for field hospitals.
Another plus is the affordability of Concrete Canvas. For around a third of the cost of many other structures, this product offers much more in the way of practicality and durability. Compared to tents in price, Concrete Canvas structures cost about twice as much as the typical tent used in similar situations, but there’s no comparison in terms of strength or protection. Curtains can be ripped, cut and burned and often leak, while Concrete Canvas does not share these vulnerabilities.
Two engineering students from London, who have since patented the idea, are the developers. The concept has won awards and is likely to win more. The two traveled to places like refugee camps to demonstrate Concrete Canvas, which is incidentally, what motivated them to market it. It was originally developed for a contest.
The United Nations, non-governmental and other aid agencies are affected and affected by Concrete Canvas. Clearly, it could also be very useful in military construction. In addition to field use, there are potential practical home applications as well. Homeowners have also shown interest in this product for use as a possible storm shelter.
