Etfe Roof Cleaning

One of the main factors that affect the structural integrity of an etfe roof system is a roof deflation.

Etfe roof cleaning. An etfe roof system is an electrical and mechanical system that relies on many consumable components and a permanent uninterrupted electrical supply to keep the roof system inflated. Etfe film is highly flame retardant and has a melting point of 270 c. If cleaning is needed then only light ph neutral detergents are used making the environmental impact minimal. It is prone to punctures by sharp edges and therefore mostly used for roofs.

Whether it is a single layer or in cushion forms etfe foil systems are supported in an aluminium extrusion at the perimeter which in turn is supported by the main. In case of transparent roofs etfe material offers significant advantages over glass pvc or ptfe. As a film for roofing it could be stretched up to 3x and still be taut if some variation in size occurs due to thermal expansion for example. It would be difficult to find another material with the amount of light and uv permeability as well as the self cleaning effect which this material offers.

The cleaning and maintenance of etfe is also small the majority of the time water will wash off any dirt this is due to the smoothness and anti adhesive properties of the material. Etfe foil is a hundred times lighter than glass. This together with the material s self cleaning qualities ensures that etfe membranes can be used in a wide range of applications. Comprehensive maintenance and inspection of all etfe elements as roofs and facades survey of etfe installations rope access services including inspection localised repair cleaning etc.

Self cleaning etfe roofing systems require no external cleaning as the material self cleans itself with the natural action of rain water providing operational savings in terms of maintenance costs. Etfe foil roofs can be supplied as a single layer membrane supported by a cable net system or commonly as a series of pneumatic cushions made up of two to five layers of etfe. Etfe film is self cleaning due to its nonstick surface and recyclable.
