Glass Roof Alternative Here at Vector Foiltec we offer solutions to a glass roof alternative and we are sure we will be able to help accommodate your needs. We have a long lasting business relationship with several major companies and corporations and have helped to supply or build some of the most prestigious buildings and structures in the world today. We invented the use of our own unique Texlon® cladding system and during development we kept in mind the principle of enabling designers to have unparalleled opportunities in the design and development of the climatic envelope. The Texlon® technology consists of cushions that are pneumatic, are restrained in aluminium extrusions and supported by a lightweight structure. The cushions are then inflated with air at a low pressure which helps to provide insulation and resist wind loads making this product one of the great glass roof alternative solutions available to date. We use between two and five layers of modified ETFE during the manufacturing process and the material, although originally developed for use in the space industry, is used worldwide today due to its many applications. ETFE or Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene, to give it its full name, is extremely unique as it does not degrade under UV light or from atmospheric pollution. Texlon® provides a great glass roof alternative as it is very durable and very long lasting, it can also be used a part of the permanent building envelope and furthermore it has a very smooth surface with anti adhesive properties that allows the Texlon® to self clean when it rains. Texlon® combines both a fantastic light transmission with extremely high insulation properties as well as the ability to incorporate several different types of solar shading that will enable the designer to optimise the environmental performance of the building envelope, making this product a truly great glass roof alternative. We are able to create a glass roof alternative solution that will meet your needs and react to the sun, changing transmission and insulation properties throughout the day, making for a greener more economic solution.
