Polytetrafluoroethylene membranes are incredibly tough and have high mechanical strength. They can withstand high winds, intense sunlight, and even snow. PTFE doesn’t degrade under UV light, and its chemical resistance ensures the fabric remains in top condition for years.
Polytetrafluoroethylene is built to last and has a long life expectancy. PTFE membrane structures made from this material can last well beyond 30 years with minimal maintenance. Its self-cleaning properties and chemically inert state means it won’t break down over time.
Our design team can use polyvinyl chloride-coated polyester to create various fabric structures. They can shape the material into different forms, from simple flat panels to complex and beautiful curves. Their flexibility allows architects to design visually striking, functional structures that enhance aesthetics and usability. Whether you need a barrel vault structure or a large, custom canopy, PVC fabric can meet the challenge.
One of PTFE's best features is its ability to allow natural light to filter through the fabric membrane. This reduces the need for artificial lighting, with up to 14% natural light transmission. Your space will be more energy efficient while keeping the area beneath bright and welcoming.
PTFE’s non-stick surface makes cleaning incredibly easy. The fabric's non-stick properties mean dirt and debris slide off. Its hydrophobic nature repels water, which helps maintain its clean appearance over the long term.
If your project must meet specific fire retardance goals, polytetrafluoroethylene membranes offer excellent fire resistance. They are ideal for safety-critical structures as they can withstand high temperatures and have a melting point of around 327°C.
The material is non-combustible and will not produce flaming droplets, reducing the risk of fire propagation. These properties ensure your polytetrafluoroethylene membrane structure is durable and safe, meeting or exceeding most global fire safety standards.
Tensile membranes made from PTFE fibreglass membranes can cover huge areas. The fabric's mechanical strength means large spans can be achieved while minimising the number of supporting columns. Consequently, polytetrafluoroethylene structures offer shade and protection while enhancing the venue's aesthetic.
PTFE's durability and weather resistance make it ideal for outdoor dining areas, car parks, and walkways. Its self-cleaning properties reduce maintenance while delivering an aesthetically pleasing environment. The result is an attractive space that keeps customers dry and cool.
PTFE membrane can be used to create Covered Outdoor Learning Areas (COLAs) in educational facilities. The result is a light, bright, and waterproof space. Students can enjoy outdoor learning in a sun-protected environment.
We deliver projects on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.
PTFE is a premium material used in tensile membrane structures. This means it has a higher upfront cost than other materials. However, this initial investment delivers quick returns when considering long-term savings.
PTFE's durability and low maintenance requirements mean fewer repairs and replacements over the years. While you may spend a little more initially, the lower maintenance costs and longer lifespan make PTFE a sound investment.
In today’s world, sustainability is more than a buzzword; it is often a goal set for project delivery. Our team is happy to assist in designing projects to meet these needs. PTFE's long lifespan means less frequent replacement and, consequently, less waste.
Structures made from PTFE are easy to clean, requiring fewer harsh cleaning chemicals. As a result, their environmental impact is lower.
Over the years, PTFE production has become more environmentally friendly, with manufacturers adopting greener practices. So, PTFE stands up to the elements and aligns with a commitment to more sustainable building practices.
