These are then supported by a lightweight structure creating inflated cushions.
Etfe single membrane roof.
The material has good uv stability as well as chemical and heat resistance.
Etfe foil roofs can be supplied as a single layer membrane supported by a cable net system or commonly as a series of pneumatic cushions made up of between two and five layers of a modified copolymer called ethylene tetra flouro ethylene etfe.
The g value of an etfe roof can be reduced to as little as 0 48 for a 2 layer system with a.
Individuality in design and function.
Etfe cushion systems incorporate a pneumatic system to maintain air between two or three layers of film.
It comes in both 45 mils and 60 mils thicknesses though typically you ll find it in 60 mils thicknesses at most home improvement stores.
Etfe foil roofs can be supplied as a single layer membrane supported by a cable net system or commonly as a series of pneumatic cushions made up of between two and five layers of a modified copolymer called ethylene tetra flouro ethylene etfe.
Whether it is a single layer or in cushion forms etfe foil systems are supported in an aluminium extrusion at the perimeter which in turn is supported by the main.
A guide to design.

Reduction of the self weight of the cladding material allowed using slimmer steel sections at the roof.
Etfe foil roofs can be supplied as a single layer membrane supported by a cable net system or commonly as a series of pneumatic cushions made up of two to five layers of etfe.
Generously sized rooms without supports minimal use of materials and environmentally responsible construction methods are all possible through the use of etfe membranes in addition due to continuous improvement of the material itself buildings and structures utilizing our films are setting new aesthetic and technical standards.
It is a highly transparent extruded film applied either as a single layer membrane or as a multilayer pneumatically inflated cushion.
In use since the 1960 s it s a single ply synthetic rubber.
Etfe whether used as a single layer membrane tensioned between structural framework or as pneumatically prestressed air cushions the versatility allows it to adapt to deformations or unique shapes and designs of any given roofing system structure.
Derived of oil and natural gas epdm is the only true rubber roof membrane running between 3 25 and 14 75 per square meter.
Use etfe in a double triple or more layered system to form an etfe membrane if you need a structure with greater thermal insulation and structural stability.
