Tensile Fabrics Enhance Architecture Around the World PTFE Architectural Membranes

Permanent architectural fabric is lightweight, durable, non-combustible, and has water tight seams.

Lightweight

• Low weight compared to conventional roofing materials
• Capable of bearing loads over long spans
• Open space below -- no columns
• Lightweight construction of load bearing walls

Durable

• Expected life of 25+ years
• Raw materials (fiberglass and Teflon) unaffected by weather and ultraviolet light
• Permanently installed -- no need for any adjustments during its lifetime

Non-Combustible

Both raw materials (fiberglass and Teflon®) rated as non-combustible

Rated non-combustible throughout the world in local testing -- ASTM, JIS, British Standard

In US, rated as Class A or B roof (ASTM)

Complies to DIN 4102 B1 or EN 13501

Water Tight Seams

• All seams heat welded
• Use of fluoropolymer film as adhesive layer giving a fluoropolymer-to-fluoropolymer bond
• Like the fabric, seams are unaffected by weather and ultraviolet light
