SHEERFILL Architectural Membrane is used as a permanent tensioned membrane structure in the sports, transportation, retail and specialty markets. The composite materials used in the membrane are made of fiberglass and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). SHEERFILL Architectural Membrane fabrics are available in a range of strengths and light transmission levels. SHEERFILL Architectural Membrane materials are most commonly used as roofing membranes to cover virtually any size structure from a full-sized stadium to a much smaller skylight. The ORIGINAL PERMANENT Architectural Membrane, SHEERFILL I has proven itself as the strongest, longest-lasting architectural membrane material on the planet. Installed in 1973 at the University of La Verne in California, the original roofing membrane is still in service and shows no signs of need for replacement. Proven Long-Term Durability In contrast to traditional roofing membrane materials that would require frequent replacement, tests prove that SHEERFILL Architectural Membranes provide up to 25 years or more of reliable service. There is no relaxation of the re-tensioned membrane from its original shape, even after years of withstanding high live loads, such as heavy snows and high winds. This keeps maintenance costs low, not requiring retensioning of the membrane. High Energy Efficiency SHEERFILL membrane transmits up to 20% of daylight without the heat gain of traditional glazings. Shaded areas remain bright, yet cool, even on the hottest days. HVAC costs are lower compared to other glazing alternatives, because SHEERFILL minimizes the need for heat dissipation.
