Introducing the rooftop canopy application

Currently, business models of tourism services and resort hotels are gradually becoming popular, so the design, installation and use of rooftop canopies for these models is increasingly popular. In addition to ensuring protection from rain and sun, the hotel's stretch canvas roof also increases aesthetics, creating an impression and uniqueness for the entire space.

There are many structural and material solutions that have been commonly and widely used for rooftop awnings, divided into many categories based on factors such as operational properties, roof styles, and classification. Types by material... Stretch canvas roofs are gradually becoming more popular, rooftop roof systems using stretch canvas structures are the best choice for exterior decoration.

3 common types of materials in rooftop roof design and construction

  • PVDF is a 3-layer canvas with good resistance to weather conditions, durability and flexibility. The fabric yarn is made by weaving yarn into the fabric base and curing and repairing the resin on both sides of the base. The central fabric base material is divided into polyester fiber and glass fiber. Regarding mechanics, each fabric base and coating material has functional properties such as: the fabric base has tensile strength, tear strength, heat resistance, and fire resistance; The coating material is weather-resistant, rust-proof, waterproof, and light-transmitting.
  • PTFE is chemically inert and offers excellent self-cleaning properties, fire resistance and a lifespan typically in excess of 25 years. The main feature to note when using PTFE Roof is that it requires very careful handling during the construction phase. Installing PTFE-coated fiberglass fabric requires more care and more intricate details than PVDF fabrics.
  • ETFE Features a stretch membrane that creates curves for the canopy. In addition, this is a transparent tarpaulin that protects from rain and sun but allows light to pass through. The amount of light that penetrates depends on the pattern on the canvas that the customer chooses. The light transmittance is 95%, allowing the plants below to grow naturally. And is not affected by ultraviolet rays, atmospheric pollution and other forms of environmental weathering. This is the top choice for simple and economical light roofs.
