Fiberglass architectural membrane ILLUMINATE 48

Illuminate High Light Transmission Membranes are used in façades and roofing applications where high light transmission and visibility through the membrane are desired. Illuminate is made by laminating PTFE (TEFLON®) films to PTFE-coated fiberglass. Like other SHEERFILL Architectural Membranes, Illuminate is water tight and helps keep the elements out, and has a Class A fire rating (non-combustible). The use of a mesh fiberglass reinforcement ensures high strength, long life, and the ability to add color with little impact on light transmission or transparency. Illuminate 48 offers significantly higher light transmission than traditional SHEERFILL membranes, and even higher than Illuminate 28. With a fiberglass reinforcement and light transmission of over 50%, Illuminate 48 creates options for design and implementation of tensile structures not possible in the past. Optimized Lighting & Shading Illuminate High Light Transmission Membranes enable the construction of roofs or facades that provide high light transmission while protecting the interior of the building and its occupants. For designs where one size does not fit all, the use of multiple types of SHEERFILL materials can provide different levels of light transmission and shading in different areas of the same structure – Illuminate where visibility and light are desired, and traditional SHEERFILL where more solar reflectance is desired, all while still letting in diffuse natural daylight. Illuminate and SHEERFILL materials are available with different light transmissions, and can be colored to provide a customized visual appearance.
