Tensotherm™ with Lumira™ aerogel offers similar architectural benefits as PTFE fiberglass tensile fabric membrane, but with the added benefit of a feather-light translucent insulation layer. This layer, known as Lumira™ aerogel, developed by Boston-based Cabot Corporation, makes it the lightest and best insulator in the world. Tensotherm system is a composite of outer and inner layers of PTFE fiberglass fabric with a Lumira™ aerogel core.

Tensotherm - High efficiency insulated PTFE fiberglass membrane roofing combines all the advantages of tension membrane roofing plus:

1. Fully insulated lightweight roof cladding to reduce substructure and foundation sizes versus all other systems of equal insulation value on the market.
2. Fully insulated long span roof cladding to reduce construction durations and provide open spans.
3. Fully insulated translucent roof cladding to maintain natural day lighting and reduce the need for artificial light.
4. Fully insulated acoustical roof cladding eliminating the need for a secondary acoustical system.
5. Superior insulation performance as Lumira™ aerogel: the lightest most efficient insulation on the market.
6. Permanent performance: the combination of PTFE fiberglass and Lumira™ aerogel will perform the same in year 30 as in year 1.

Tensotherm™ is a patent pending product of Birdair, Inc. a member of the Taiyo Kogyo group.
