Provide your passengers with an exceptional travel experience from start to finish by utilizing technical textiles. These materials enable the creation of weather-resistant sheltered walkways and stylish canopies, which enhance both the functionality and appearance of your train station or airport.
Ensuring optimal weather protection for every traveler and visitor, whether faced with rain, wind, or sun. Our canopies, sheltered walkways, and sun-protective facades offer the ideal solution.
With the flexibility of organic forms and custom color printing you can transform your project into a visual masterpiece, making it either a unique statement piece or an elegant addition to its environment. Ensure your station or airport not only meets its functional role but also leaves a lasting visual impression.
Embracing technical textiles means embracing sustainability. Our materials are distinguished by their durability, fire resistance, acoustic performance, and potential for reuse in new applications. Additionally, the material's minimal volume reduces transport movements to a minimum.
Technical textiles are perfect for integral design applications, adding significant value to the environment. For example, at NS Station Castricum, our solution served as both a protective canopy and a light-permeable ceiling.
Textile innovations for train stations and airports

Passengers expect an optimal travel experience from arrival to departure. By utilizing technical textiles, we offer endless possibilities to meet these expectations. These materials provide unique advantages over conventional options, such as the ability to create organic shapes and benefit from faster installation times due to their prefabricated nature. Our solutions can be permanent, like our iconic sheltered walkway at Schiphol Airport, or temporary, like our canopy over The Hague's station square, which was used for two years. With quick implementation, practical functionality, and visually appealing results, our solutions transform your location into a visual highlight and enhance the travel experience for your passengers.
Even near the train tracks, our solutions are highly effective. They resist train debris and wear, ensuring that such materials do not end up in unintended areas. Technical textiles provide long-term durability, maintaining their quality for at least 20 years.

Our process
The first step in our process is to address your inquiry, regardless of its level of detail. We listen carefully and engage in thoughtful discussion. Our extensive knowledge and experience have made us highly familiar with the work of contractors, architects, and facility managers. Based on your requirements and input, we take control, resulting in an initial sketch, material selection, and budget estimate.
During the preliminary design, we define the load capacity, unique construction, and finalize the detailed calculations. This results in a clear and detailed understanding of the entire project's scope.
Our expertise drives us to refine every detail in the final design, encompassing everything from the design phase to the permit application process. We ensure adherence to regulations and standards. Our project managers ensure effective communication and stay involved until project completion.
Once everything is finalized, production begins at our Innovation Center in Steenwijk. We work with the highest quality materials, chosen carefully for each project. Both transportation and installation are managed by our own team. Our VCA-certified installers ensure that all components are installed safely and professionally on-site and do not leave until everything is perfectly completed. This allows related processes to proceed swiftly and efficiently.
