Frequently Asked Questions
The lifespan depends on the selected membrane material and project environment. PVC/PVDF membranes typically provide 10–20 years of service life, while PTFE fiberglass membranes can exceed 30 years. ETFE cushion systems are commonly designed for 25–35 years of long-term performance. Our engineering team recommends the most suitable material based on project lifespan, budget, and environmental conditions.
Yes. Tensile membrane structures are engineered according to local wind, snow, and seismic requirements. Through form-finding analysis and structural calculations, membrane roofs can safely withstand challenging environmental conditions, including typhoon-prone coastal regions and heavy snow areas. Every project is individually designed to meet applicable building codes and loading standards.
The optimal material depends on your project goals.
- PTFE – Permanent landmark structures requiring maximum durability.
- ETFE – Transparent roofs, skylights, and atriums with high daylight transmission.
- PVC/PVDF – Cost-effective solutions for sports, commercial, and public projects.
