A Leisure Amenity in Southern France Covered with Texlon® ETFE

The Centre Aquatique Archipel La Cité de L’eau is a fantastic leisure amenity for the Adge region in Southern France. The aquatic center covers a total area of 10,000 m² (6,200 m² indoor and outdoor 3,800 m²).

Feeling as if you are Outside

A beautiful Texlon® ETFE cladding system covers the indoor swimming area. With excellent insulation properties, the large wave pools, slides, and jacuzzies within the transparent enclosure are kept at a desired temperature all year round.

Texlon® ETFE possesses better insulating properties than comparable triple-glazed glass units. The high levels of light transmission and UV light transmission passing through the Texlon® ETFE system means that the occupants feel as if they are outside all year round – but at the same time, they are protected from the elements in the colder seasons.

Beautiful Architecture with Texlon® ETFE

From an architectural viewpoint, the combination of Texlon® ETFE supported by an elegantly curved timber frame structure is truly beautiful. The lightweight Texlon® ETFE system offers tremendous advantages over traditional roofing systems in terms of energy savings, sound dispersion, lower structural costs, and better light transmission. It perfectly covers this leisure amenity.
