Why ETFE? The Texlon® System

Texlon roof system, Use of ETFE, ETFE roof construction, architecture, cushion thickness, cushion size, cushion span, The Texlon® system consists mainly of two components: ETFE foil and aluminum profiles. The ETFE foil can be used as a single-layer or multi-layer system. If it is used as a multi-layer (two to five layers) system, it is welded to so-called cushions and filled with air. A keder is welded around the perimeter of the cushions. Both the single-layer ETFE system and the ETFE cushions are mounted in the aluminum profiles, with the help of the keder. The aluminum profiles themselves are attached to the building structure. The structure can, for example, be made of steel, wood or even cable.
