Technical textile membranes for tensile architecture applications provide both frugal use of materials and a stand out appearance and feeling in buildings. If ones can relate the products to tents, other will observe that today these products are used in numerous high end and long lasting applications such as stadium coverings and other iconic building skins. Choosing the right product is a matter of defining the various project requirements, incl. mechanical, physical and aesthetic functionalities. Once defined, the architectural membrane can be selected. Patterning, confectioning and erection of the building skin are the critical steps to be achieved to deliver the designed iconic character envisioned in the project.
Sioen is a Belgian family owned company that is world market leader in technical textiles.
Tensile architecture membranes benefit from the group's broad expertise in technical textile. This year the SIOEN group is proud to launch the FLUO2MAX, the new extreme architectural membrane range which benefit from: - a new UV protective coating which allow to warrant the membrane for 20 years for tensile architecture applications - a new "hybrid" lacquer that improves dramatically the "stay new" appearance of the membrane skin during its lifetime.
SIOEN also launches the FLUOSCRIM membrane, a new highly translucent fluocarbon membrane reinforced with glass fibre reinforcement. - HF weldable - Optimised UV transmission for plant growth underneath - High stability upon time - High performance - Self cleaning - Easy to clean properties
