This ensures our accountability to the customer before and after the sale. With this standard, Rubb has become one of the largest, leading manufacturers of frame-supported membrane structures worldwide.
Rubb structures feature a galvanized steel framework manufactured according to specific design drawings.
All Rubb buildings are clad with high-quality, tough PVC-impregnated polyester fabric tensioned over the structure to provide protection.
Rubb's hot-dip galvanized (ASTM A-123 standard) steel framework offers optimal corrosion protection against harsh climates.
Rubb maintains an effective and efficient quality management system to deliver high-quality structures.
Rubb is committed to providing the highest quality building solutions, as evidenced by our numerous certifications and memberships.
In the interest of public safety and adhering to best practices, Rubb strongly follows all relevant codes and recommends adherence to codes.
Bob Barnes United Airlines, Logan International Airport“With over 80 inches of snow, this winter broke records, and we saw sustained winds in excess of hurricane force. Through it all, we continued to perform our mission in the hangar. The building has performed admirably.”
Paul J. Moynihan City of Laconia, NH“I'm writing to express our sincere appreciation for the quality installation Rubb accomplished for Laconia in erecting our new winter sand storage building...”
David Paquette, Director at Safety-Kleen Systems Inc Safety-Kleen Systems Inc“Rubb has been our go to supplier for fabric structures for over 25 years and the service and quality has never disappointed.”
A Rubb building is a long-term facility with a useful life of 30+ years. The hot-dip galvanized steel frame (ASTM A-123) is built to last the life of the building. The PVC-coated polyester membrane is warrantied for 15 years and typically performs well beyond that. When the membrane eventually reaches the end of its life, it can be replaced on the existing frame, giving you a like-new building for a fraction of the cost of new construction. Rubb has structures still in service since 1984.
Almost every aspect of a Rubb building can be tailored to your site and operation. Each structure is engineered for its location, so you choose the size, span, height, and profile, with clear spans up to 350+ feet and no interior columns. Options include hangar, roll-up, and sliding doors, Thermohall® insulated cladding for heated or cooled spaces, ventilation, HVAC, lighting, translucent cladding for natural daylight, and much more. Our buildings can also be extended or relocated as your needs change.
Rubb buildings cost less and go up faster than conventional steel buildings, with lighter foundation requirements and installation in weeks rather than months. Clear spans up to 350+ feet create wide-open interiors, and translucent PVC cladding bring in natural daylight to reduce lighting costs. The PVC membrane won’t rust or corrode, making it well suited to salt, sand, fertilizer, and other corrosive environments. Rubb buildings can be expanded or relocated as your needs change, while the hot-dip galvanized steel frame gives you the same structural strength and code compliance you’d expect from any permanent building.
Yes. Every Rubb building is engineered for its specific site and designed to the code adopted by your jurisdiction, including IBC 2021 and ASCE 7, plus any state or local amendments. Designs account for local snow, wind, and seismic loads, and each project includes engineering drawings and calculations stamped by a licensed professional engineer for permitting. Rubb also holds Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance and an LA Fabricators License, reflecting some of the most demanding standards in the country.
