  1. ETFE is a polymer with high melting temperature, excellent radiation, and amazing resistance properties, which has made it the future in many industrial applications, especially the construction industry. This material began to be used as a covering for greenhouses, but its amazing properties led it to be adopted across the globe for various commercial and residential projects too! Today, it is seen to be present as a covering for stadiums, shopping centers, airports, theatre halls, sport halls, commercial buildings, and schools. In fact, ETFE has gained international approval of being a premium tensile material for high impact roofing construction design. ETFE has revolutionized the world of architecture by boosting the degree of innovation. Architects are now realizing the crystal clear free-flowing capabilities of this material that they have not been able to have with other traditional materials like glass. Moreover, the material is lightweight, easy to work with, and cost-effective too. Let us delve deeper into the various benefitsonecanhavewithETFEroofs.And,whenyoudecidetobuythisamazingmaterial,

  2. remember that you can easily get the best quality sheets at Tuflite Polymers, the leading ETFE suppliers inIndia. Lightweight ETFE is approximately only 1% the weight of glass, thus decreasing the structural load significantly, which in turn reduces the size and cost of the supportsystem. Transparency Glass has been said to block out as much as 38% of natural sunlight, which is why glass structures require artificial lighting during the day. But, ETFE is up to 95% transparent, thus allowing maximum sunlight to pass through, in turn reducing the need of artificial interior lighting during the day. Also, the UV light that passes through promotes photosynthesis in cases where the interior spaces include natural plantlife. Insulation Whether used as single, double, or triple layer, every ETFE option has outstanding insulation properties. This means that during winters, ETFE roofs retain heat from the day; while during summers, they keep off heat from entering into the indoor spacebelow. Resistance Whether it is exposed to thermal, chemical, or physical destructive elements, ETFE is highly resistant and can also perfectly withstand shock and impacts. This quality helps ETFE to retain its strength for more than 35 years; thus reducing the hassles of repair andreplacement. Maintenance ETFE is self-cleaning, meaning that it lets the dirt and other materials just slide off, thus requiring lesser maintenance efforts andcosts. Eco-friendliness ETFE is 100% recyclable. Instead of disposing it, it can be recycled back into beneficial ETFE products like castings, tubing, and wires; thus reducing the carbonfootprint.

  3. Designflexibility With the property of being highly flexible and customizable, architects have the freedom to create versatile designs using ETFE sheets, which is otherwise impossible in case of glass and other glazedsystems. Looking at these advantages, there remains no doubt in the fact that ETFE roofs are sure to be the future in buildings and construction for modern dayarchitecture.
