33 New technologies the Texlon Roofs consist of pneumatic cushions comprising of between 2 and 5 layers of a modified copolymer Ethylene Tetra Flouro Ethylene. The ETFE Foil is extruded into thin films and supported in an aluminium perimeter extrusion which is supported on the building frame. The Cushions are inflated by a small inflation unit to approx. 220 Pa which gives the foil a structural stability and gives the roof high insulation properties

34 New technologies the exceptional light transmission UV transparency active solar shading outstanding insulation (standard 3 layer cushion U value 1.96 w/sqm K) catalyst for natural ventilation ecologically friendly / energy efficient acoustically transparent long-span / any shape capabilities fire self-venting extreme durability unaffected by atmospheric pollution life expectancy - greater than 30 years

35 New technologies the + texlon nano Texlon nano increases the U value of texlon cushions from 1.96 W/m2K to between 0.3 and 1.0 W/m2K

36 New technologies the + texlon nano Texlon nano increases the U value of texlon cushions from 1.96 W/m2K to between 0.3 and 1.0 W/m2K

37 New technologies the + texlon nano Texlon nano can be incorporated in varying thickness to optimise performance
