TIANTA® PTFE-Teflon®Architectural Membrane Olympics and World Exhibition China
In designing gymnasiums and other facilities for the 2008 Olympics, the 2010 World Exhibition and the 2010 Asian Games, many constructions will be using architectural membranes. The use of architectural membranes in construction has grown rapidly in China in recent years. In particular, architectural membranes have been used in constructing exhibition halls, super shopping malls, entertainment complexes, railway warehouses, wharf warehouses, airports, and super petrol stations, etc. All of these applications involve large spans.
Outdoor Lighting, Indoor light
TIANTA®Architectural Membrane enables the construction of buildings with a stunning architectural profile, but the true beauty lies in TIANTA®TAF superior ability to transmit light. TIANTA®brings the open, airy feeling of color-correct light indoors, filling even large sports complexes and industrial facilities with diffuse, natural daylight. TIANTA®TAF backlit luminosity at night creates a unique and dramatic architectural signature on the skyline.
Live Long-Term Durability
In contrast to traditional roofing materials that would require replacement, tests prove that TIANTA®TAF tensile structures provide up to 25 years or more of reliable service. There is no relaxation of the membrane from its original shape, even after years of withstanding high live loads, such as heavy snows and high winds.
Pollutants Resistant for Enduring Beauty Natural
The translucent characteristics and visual appeal of TIANTA® TAF are unaffected by age, climate, pollutants or discoloration. Its impervious Teflon®-PTFE coating makes TIANTA®TAF highly resistant to staining. TIANTA® TAF repels airborne particulates and chemicals that adhere to other materials. The natural action of rain keeps the surface clean and white.
Highly Energy Efficient result
TIANTA®TAF transmits up to 19% of daylight without the heat gain of traditional glazing. Shaded areas remain bright, yet cool, even on the hottest days. HVAC costs are lower compared to other glazing alternatives, because TIANTA®TAF minimizes the need for heat dissipation. Reduced lighting requirements during the day also result in a substantial reduction in energy costs.
Applicability Versatility and Building Utility
TIANTA®TAF is an extremely versatile building material. It meets fire code requirements for virtually all types of construction, and remains unchanged in temperatures ranging from -100°F to +450°F. TIANTA®TAF s long list of attributes offers architects new flexibility in design. A variety of panel shapes can be combined into almost endless geometric configurations, allowing architects to address complex aesthetic and functional challenges while creating buildings of stunning beauty and excitement. |
