Technology, functionality and stability are a must of high-performance coverings. Lightness, weather and mechanical stress resistance, fire resistance and waterproofness are the balanced mix necessary to build them.

As for its manufacture, IT’S COVER chooses a wide range of materials according to their features:

  • polyester coated PVC fabric is the most commonly used fabric in architecture as it offers the best ratio among cost, performance and durability.
  • polyester coated PVC/PVDF fabric whose additional lacquer increases UV rays and weather resistance, boosts brilliance and ensures greater durability 
  • ETFE that is the most frequently used film material for load-bearing walls, roofs, or claddings mainly manufactured in pneumatic cushions
  • fiberglass coated PTFE fabric commonly used in textile architecture; it provides excellent performance in terms of durability and chemical inertness
  • fiberglass coated Silicone fabric which is distinguished by extremely high light transmission combined with high strength.
  • expanded PTFE fabric that is the most efficient material available thanks its properties: non-combustible, chemically inert, exceptionally resistant to dirt, abrasion and breakage.
