Jing Shan International Tennis Center PTFE Membrane Roof

PTFE membrane

Project Overview: The "Magnolia Petals" of Jing Shan

A PTFE membrane roof is the premier choice for world-class sports venues like the International Tennis Center. This project required a high-translucency, durable building envelope that could provide consistent lighting conditions for high-stakes matches while ensuring structural safety for thousands of spectators.

Architectural Vision & Large-Scale Capacity

With a seating capacity of 5,235, the arena is fully equipped to host premier international tennis tournaments. The centerpiece of the facility is its expansive PTFE membrane roof, covering a staggering 22,800 square meters. By utilizing a sophisticated combination of high-tensile steel structures and premium white PTFE fabric, we achieved a massive column-free interior. This ensures unobstructed sightlines for every seat in the house, providing a world-class viewing experience

Technical Excellence of PTFE Membrane

For this flagship Sports Stadium Project, the selection of imported PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) was strategic. PTFE is widely regarded as the “gold standard” for permanent Tensile Membrane Materials:

  • Optical Performance: The membrane provides exceptional light transmittance, allowing soft, diffused natural light to flood the arena. This eliminates harsh shadows on the court—a critical factor for professional tennis play—and ensures the interior remains bright during the day without artificial lighting.

  • Energy Efficiency: The roof’s high solar reflectance effectively blocks harmful UV and infrared rays. This thermal regulation results in over 30% energy savings compared to traditional enclosed buildings, significantly reducing the facility’s carbon footprint.

Superior Durability & Self-Cleaning

The Jing Shan Tennis Center is designed for a lifespan of over 30 years. The PTFE coating is chemically inert and features an extremely low friction coefficient.

  • Self-Cleaning: Rainwater easily washes away urban dust and pollutants, maintaining the roof’s iconic “pristine white” appearance for decades.

  • Weather Resilience: Engineered to withstand extreme wind loads and environmental stressors, the PTFE tensile roof remains stable and aesthetically consistent under the toughest conditions.

Sustainable Engineering & Landscaping

Beyond the roof, the project integrates ingenious landscaping that enhances the local ecosystem. The lightweight nature of the membrane structure reduced the amount of steel required for the primary frame, further contributing to the project’s sustainability goals. As a leading China manufacturer of membrane structures, SkyTensile ensured that every detail—from the precision fabrication of the PTFE panels to the final tensioning—met the highest international engineering standards
