About NovaShield®
NovaShield® by IPG is a membrane structure fabric used for over 18 years in the portable building industry. Their materials come in a range of colours, industry leading warranties, and engineered coatings for exceptional performance.
Unlike canvas or off-shore products their patented weave produces impressive strength-to-weight ratios and makes for a light weight yet durable product.
