APPLICATIONS
Roofs and Skylights
ETFE film is resistant to UV radiation, corrosion, and fire. It also has self-cleaning properties that help to reduce maintenance costs. Additionally, it is an energy-efficient material that allows for better insulation and reduces energy consumption.
Overall, ETFE film is a versatile roofing material that provides architects and designers with more design options and helps to create modern and sustainable buildings.
Facades
ETFE film is a lightweight, highly transparent, and durable plastic polymer that offers several advantages over traditional facade materials such as glass and metal. ETFE film can be formed into different shapes, sizes, and colors, allowing architects and designers to create unique and modern facades that enhance the aesthetic appeal of buildings.
Atriums and Greenhouses
ETFE film is highly transparent, allowing up to 95% of natural light to pass through it, making it a popular choice for greenhouse construction. Additionally, ETFE film provides excellent thermal insulation, reducing energy consumption and costs associated with heating and cooling.
Meanwhile ETFE films’ resistance to UV radiation and weathering, making it ideal for use in outdoor applications. The film is also self-cleaning, with a non-stick surface that prevents dirt and debris from adhering to it, and rainwater easily washes it away.
Canopies and Shading Systems
ETFE film provides several advantages over traditional building materials such as glass and concrete, including lightweight, flexibility, transparency, durability, and energy efficiency. The film’s unique properties make it an ideal choice for creating large-scale structures that require minimal support while still providing excellent insulation and light transmission.
Additionally, ETFE film is resistant to UV radiation, chemicals, and fire, which makes it a safe and reliable option for architects and building owners.
Sports Stadiums and Arenas
One of the most prominent examples of ETFE film being used in sports stadiums is the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. The stadium’s translucent ETFE façade provides ample natural light while reducing energy costs through improved insulation. ETFE film is also used in many other high-profile stadiums and arenas worldwide, including the Beijing National Aquatics Center and the Singapore Sports Hub.
In addition to its practical benefits, ETFE film can be customized to create stunning visual effects, with different colors and patterns available for use.
