ETFE facade made of panels of variable size and shape. Panels have two sizes: 8500×2750 for standard panels and 8500x 4170 for corner panels. Geometrically panels have three-dimensional sides with different inclination. The juxtaposition of different panels leads to a varied building geometry. The panels are made through a metal substructure, an aluminum profile for […]
Thanks to the textile panel cladding, it was possible to shade and protect the south-facing facades of an office building. The PVC polyester textile mesh provides excellent protection from sunlight and privacy, while still allowing a view of the outside.
Based on a project by architecture firm DC10, Maco Technology was commissioned to engineer and construct a 3d rhomboidal cell facade coated with ETFE. The facade aesthetically and energetically upgrades a building in Mind District, i.e., the former Expo area in Milan. The project consists of 78 panels divided into 6 different types including 4 […]
In order to renovate the aesthetics of the office building and reduce radiation and glare on the west and south facades, three textile facades measuring 4m x 7.5m were created, each consisting of three panels measuring 4m x 2.5m. The panels were assembled in the workshop and transported to the construction site, where they were […]
In the heart of Parco dello Stelvio, Laces- San Martino in Monte cable car has now a new facade made in ETFE single layer. The facade is designed to resist at wind speed up to 11 km/h. Its stenght is assured by the 300 micron ETFE and the stainless steel cables included in pockets. ETFE […]
Shading panels mounted on sliding rails to provide protection from the sun and improve privacy on the terraces behind. Thanks to their light weight, the fabric panels are ideal for installation on rails, giving the building an ever-changing appearance.
The volume of the building is covered with a PVC-coated polyester mesh that is tensioned in place. The edge profiles are positioned at the corners of the volume to be covered, minimising the costs of the substructure. The envelope can be digitally printed, allowing for complete customisation of the work.
Facciata tessile a pannelli con geometria tridimensionale. I profili speciali permettono di sfaccettare la superficie della facciata creando un gioco di volumi e di ombre.
ETFE cushions can be used to clad buildings with a dual purpose: to improve their aesthetics and thermal comfort. ETFE panels can be used in all cases where transparency or translucency is required. Compared to textile facades, ETFE cushions have a very distinctive three-dimensional appearance. In addition, the material can be backlit to achieve unique […]
Examples of textile panels for façades made with different profiles and materials. With Aero S profiles, panels of various shapes can be created to form flat façades. With Aero A profiles, panels can be juxtaposed in three dimensions in space, maintaining a gap of practically zero or just a few millimetres. Textile panels can be […]
