PTFE Fabrics

Shade to Order can design, manufacture and install membranes using PTFE coated fibreglass fabrics. PTFE (Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene) is a Teflon coating over woven fibreglass fibres. These are high quality materials made from polytetrafluoroethylene glass fibre coated fabric and used for permanent constructions. The material has very high tensile resistance. It is UV resistant, non-combustible and boasts a high reflective capability.

Because of the smooth Teflon surface, the membrane is washed clean every time it rains and therefore normally does not require additional cleaning. Just one of Shade to Order's specialist Teflon sealing machines The translucency can reach 20%, depending on the thickness of the material. PTFE fibreglass membranes have a very impressive life span. PTFE fabrics are the ultimate choice for prolonged endurance, low maintenance, fire rating and tensile strength. With a life expectancy in excess of 30 years, a PTFE membrane, if manufactured properly, will stand the test of time. Shade to Order uses innovative manufacturing techniques, with state of the art custom designed and built sealing machines to produce the highest of design quality and accuracy Teflon tension membrane structures.

Teflon coated fibreglass fabrics (PTFE) are an exciting, impressive, and flexible building product that can be matched by no other form of building. Contact us today for more information on exciting PTFE fabrics.
