How it works

Pressure-inflated cushions

ETFE foil cushions sit in aluminium perimeter frames. Number of layers, foil thickness and air pressure are engineered per project to deliver the required thermal, structural and optical performance.

Staying stable

Dedicated air-supply units keep cushions inflated. Non-return valves hold pressure through power interruptions. Integrated secondary drainage removes water safely.

Performance

Durable under UV, wind, snow and temperature swings. Weather-tight sealing to adjacent construction. Fire classification B-s1, d0 (EN 13501-1).

Options

Stainless-steel reinforcement cables for large spans · bird wires · rain suppressors · man-safe anchor systems.
