Each fabric is available in various strength ranges, and selection is primarily an engineering-based decision. The thicker fabrics have tensile strength of 150kN per metre, while the lighter grade fabrics have tensile strength of 75-100kN per meter.
The heavier grade fabrics have light transmission rates of 9-12 %, while the lighter grade fabrics allow 14-16%.
Thermal performance
Insulted sandwich systems have been developed by Architen to achieve very high levels of thermal performance. These equal the highest standards achieved by well insulated conventional construction, equating to U-value of 0.2.
Solar Performance
The typical characteristics of single skin tensile fabric roofs to sunlight are approximately 75% reflection, 10% absorption and 15% transmission.
Fire Performance
All Teflon coated glass cloths are inherently non-flammable and achieve Class 1 in surface spread of flame testing and class 0 performance in BS476 pt6 Fire Propagation tests.
Acoustics
PTFE coated glass roofs are extremely low in maintenance due to the cleaning action of rain on the Teflon outer layer. Typically, cleaning is recommended every 2-5 years, depending on the location of the structure and its exposure to environmental pollution. The fabric is sufficiently strong to support a mans weight on its surface, so cleaning simply requires the incorporation of man-safe systems to access the roof surface. Cleaning us usually by means of jet-washers, soft brushes and water with a mild detergent. PTFE roofs do not need to be cleaned internally.
