Single Layer ETFE

Architects and designers are using ETFE single layer systems to create dynamic all weatherproof spaces. Because ETFE is lightweight, there is great cost savings to be had by reducing the size of the supporting framework and foundations.

The demand for economically priced materials to cover walkways is increasing, making ETFE very popular. Typical installations for single foil systems include bridging existing building, such as schools, to create dry space and covering walkways in shopping centres and transportation hubs.

With this system, there is no requirement for an air handling unit. Because the actual material has a slippery surface, dirt and algae do not stick to it, making maintenance minimal.

As ETFE is flexible, curvature can be introduced in the design of your covered space to create dramatic focal points that are functional.
