Matte (HJ)

Matte (HJ)
The matte ETFE film diffuses light giving it a natural glow, perfect for a greenhouse as it creates the perfect environment for plants to grow. This film also has a privacy aspect as you cannot see through it with clarity.

Sample application images

 

White (WT)

White (WT)
Much like the matte film, white diffuses the light letting up to 40% through to light up the area, reducing the need for electric lighting. This provides a great shaded area as well with less than 1% UV filtering through.

Blue (TB)

Blue (TB)
As ETFE film continually being developing, blue was chosen as the colored ETFE film pioneer other colors to be developed as needed.

In the above images, the ETFE film sits 1cm from the coloured paper.

By combining the different types of film you can create UV protection and/or light control to the inside.
Example
: By combining 1 translucent and 2 printed ETFE films into a 3 layer design and moving the middle layer up and down, you can control the amount of light that is transmitted to the inside.
Company Branding (Logo printing available)

As an additional design aspect, companies can have their logos printed onto the ETFE building brand equity along with controlling the light and heat transmission.
