Events and activities will be organized to raise awareness about the benefits of urban green spaces, such as improved air quality, reduced noise pollution, and mitigation of the urban heat island effect. Experts will share their knowledge on the design, installation, and maintenance of green walls, inspiring individuals and organizations to incorporate these sustainable features in their own urban developments.

International Green Wall Day serves as a reminder that we can create a more sustainable future by incorporating nature into our daily lives. Whether you’re a passionate gardener, urban planner, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of green spaces, this day is an opportunity to celebrate the positive transformation that green walls can bring to our cities.

Let’s embrace the power of green walls and inspire others to bring nature back into the concrete landscapes we call home.

Together, we can make a difference and create a greener future for generations to come.

 

Cable Wine Racks

Cable Wine Racks

Cable wine racks are a contemporary and aesthetically low-key way to store your valuable collection of wine.   Tensile Cables uses thin 3mm stainless steel cables to support the wine racks and the low visual impact of the system gives the bottles a feeling of hanging in space.

 

The system can be used in four different basic applications.

  1. Frame systems mounted on floors or solid material, using steel, concrete, timber, or other materials for support frames
  2. Frame systems attached to walls of brick or other strong material
  3. Frame systems inside cupboards or enclosures of timber of other materials

Flexibility   All our cable wine racks are custom made, and the four systems have been designed to be totally flexible and customizable regarding size, such that any width, height and shape can be accommodated, even under staircases.

Bottles facing outwards, or sideways – bottles in either direction can be easily accommodated in any of the systems.  Utilising labels facing sideways is an effective way of showcasing wine, and even bottles at an angle can be easily incorporated.

Cable connectors for use with wine racks – our cable systems utilise a swaging system for connecting cables to steel, concrete, brick or timber. All these cable connectors are stainless steel with very low visual impact and give the impression of a minimalistic floating support for the wine bottles.

Swaging of cable end fittings – we use hydraulic swaging machines to attach the end fittings onto the cables.   This method of attachment ensures that the strength of the completed cable systems is not less than the tensile strengths of the cables.

Structural information and advice – Tensile Cables has 30 years of wide-ranging experience in the design, manufacture, and installation of stainless-steel cable systems from 1.5 to 16 mm diameter cables.    Our service includes providing structural advice regarding the support systems for cable wine racks to assist you in designing your wine cellar to suit your particular situation.
