About ETFE structures?

ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) is an ultra-light fluoropolymer foil with exceptional transparency — it transmits over 95% of light at one hundredth of the weight of glass. Pneumatic ETFE cushion systems provide excellent thermal insulation alongside a striking visual effect. We design, fabricate and install ETFE structures for stadiums, shopping centres, botanical gardens and public buildings.

Material

ETFE foil 50–300 μm

Light transmittance

> 95%

Weight

0.35 kg/m²

Service life

30+ years

Key advantages

Ultra-light and transparent

ETFE foil weighs just 0.35 kg/m² at 200 μm thickness — 100 times lighter than glass. It transmits over 95% of light, providing natural daylight indoors.

Cushion-system insulation

ETFE pneumatic cushions (2–5 layers) provide thermal insulation comparable to double glazing at a fraction of the weight. Pressure is regulated automatically.

Self-cleaning and durable

The ETFE surface is non-stick — dirt and snow slide off on their own. The foil is UV-resistant and doesn't yellow. Service life exceeds 30 years.

Applications

Where we deliver ETFE structures

Stadiums and sports arenas
Shopping centres and atriums
Botanical gardens and zoos
Train stations and airports
Building facades and cladding
Swimming pools and aquaparks
