The multiple layers comprising the Solus Architectural Fabrics create unique properties:
. Lightweight: Only a fraction of the weight of traditional building materials.
. High strength: Glass is one of the strongest textile fibres, having greater specific strength than steel wire of the same diameter.
. Flexible: Unlike most rigid building materials, the flexibility of Solus products allows them to be tensioned into dynamic curvalinear shapes.
. Translucent: Allows for soft diffused lighting that evenly distributes light over interior or exterior surfaces.
. Low maintenance: Minimal cleaning is required over the life of the fabric. Due to its non-stick surface, rain washes dirt off the fabric surface while maintaining completel water tightness.
.Totally inert surface: The toughest environments will have no effect on the fabric surface: fungus, acid rains...
.Weldable: Individual fabric panels are welded together to create large monolithic roof surfaces. The strength of the welded seams are strong then fabric itself.
. Long life: There is only minimal degradation to the PTFE coated glass composite over its life. Today, Solus Fabrics can be expected to perform for more that 25 years.
. Fire performance: Solus Fabrics have achieved a Class A fire rating while still maintaining high translucency.

This membrane consists of a high-quality glass fibre fabric with a fluorpolymer coating. Fluorpolymer based
materials are ideally suited to high-quality permanent roofs and facades, in particular if a maximum life expectancy,
fire class and a first class aesthetic appearance with a self-cleaning surface is required. Many of
the most prominent membrane projects worldwide have been built from this fabric.

The landmark British Racing Drivers' Clubhouse in the heart of Silverstone Formula 1 circuit was completed in May 2000 for the Grand Prix .
Consistency in mechanical properties and color bleaching was of utmost importance for this arch-supported membrane roof. Solus 1120 was used to fulfill all of these requirements.

Solus® fabric was selected to create a striking, clear span, tensioned membrane roof for the District Mosque in Sarawak, Malaysia.
Kota Samarahan a city located in the province of Sarawak in the northern part of Borneo Island, known for its harsh environment.
During the day, the 7,000 sqm of Solus® Fabric allow soft diffused lighting to be transmitted into the building interior.
The District Mosque in Kota Samarahan, Sarawak is the first mosque in the world with a roof entirely made of PTFE coated glass fabric.

" The largest membrane project in the world"
Every year, more than Two million pilgrims perform the Hajj, the pilgrimage to the Holy Mosque in Makkah. The Mina Valley is one of the Hajj stations and hosts the pilgrims for three days and nights.
During the 1997 Hajj season a disastrous fire destroyed tens of thousands of cotton tents. The Saudi Authorities decided to re-build this vast city of tents by installing 40,000 durable fireproof tents. The only fabric that met these requirements was PTFE coated fiberglass.
Taconic's Solus 1420 fabric was selected after a worldwide competition for the first phase of this project. Within a period of four months, Taconic produced and supplied a total quantity of 330,000 sqm.

"Unique characteristics and major innovations in the field of tensioned fabric structures ensure Britain's biggest theatre and concert venue stands well apart from all other entertainment centers." (Landrell)
Located next to London's Millennium Dome, the Skyscape is a 120m by 53m single storey portal framed building, designed to conform with the building requirement for permanent structures. It houses two 2500 seat daytime cinemas that convert into a single live concert venue at night. Its enormous clear span membrane roof provides uninterrupted spaces measuring 200ft square formed in dramatic arched valleys
A unique feature of Skyscape is the new Solus 1200 SB (silver/black), developed in conjunction with Landrell Fabric Engineering. Its exterior coating is silver PTFE while its inner coating is black PTFE. This provides the necessary black-out environment for a theatre venue while the silver exterior provides a striking appearance which emphasizes the drama of the building's function. It also enables spectacular night time lighting effects to be more effectively incorporated.
With a potential lifetime of 25 years plus due to the use of Solus PTFE coated glass fabric, Skyscape's innovative tensioned fabric structure will host many of the world's musical superstars during London's Millennium celebrations.

Zenith, a Music Palace able to contain 10.000 people. The central core of this theater- building is made of an ellipsoidal concrete body. On this strong perimeter are placed the covering beams made of steelworks. Around the cylindrical shape body a structure constituted of 22 small girders which bear a kind of parvis. This roofing, partly anchored to the concrete walls and partly leaned on the floor, has been conceived to act as the supporting skeleton of the outer cladding: an orange membrane. Fabric used is silicone coated fiberglass due to its strength but above all to its translucency. As a matter of fact the fabric behaviour with light was a fundamental requisite for designers: at night the Zenith lights up from inside and becomes a beacon visible from a great distance.
