• Tensotherm

    Jan. 19, 2016

    Constructed of fabric, Tensotherm is a translucent roofing material that provides natural light and improved temperature control.

    The material is created of translucent fabric with aerogel placed between a PTFE fiberglass membrane exterior skin and a vapor barrier interior liner, which can provide strong acoustical performance while remaining sustainable.

    Designed for small and mid-sized to long-span applications, the material’s light weight can help cut shipping and installation costs as well.
