Throughout the years, the Serge Ferrari Group has contributed to many events and iconic tensile architecture structures around the world. Its flexible composite membranes help reduce weight and offer a range of versatile and creative solutions allowing architects to imagine buildings with unique forms, thanks to flexible materials delivering unparalleled technical properties. With innovation at the core of its strategy, the France-based industrial group has specially developed STFE to address the requirements for mechanical and aesthetic durability associated with the most technically challenging projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kscope.co.za\/synchron\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Curved-bridge-STFE-transparent-membrane-roof-structure.jpg” alt=”Lightweight and transparent roof structure in STFE fabric looks like glass” show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”3px|20px|3px|0px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”|300|||||||” header_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px|||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px||20px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ header_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0.03em” header_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0.03em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u00a0Building on a continuous trend towards more versatility, natural light and transparency, STFE is the first flexible membrane to achieve transparency levels rivalled only by glass or polycarbonate \u2014 materials that are more energy-intensive or require heavier framework \u2014 while retaining the same technical strengths as any other Serge Ferrari solution. With a single layer enough to cover the roof or facade of a building, this new material is truly an outstanding technical feat, as it successfully tackles the great challenge of reconciling exceptional mechanical quality, flexibility and transparency, with high visible transmittance (more than 50%).<\/span><\/p>\n Unparalleled in the market, STFE is a loose weave fabric (50 to 60% openness) made from polyarylate fibres finished with a transparent coating. The combination of the two results in a material that is at once flexible and easy to shape, lightweight, transparent, highly resistant to mechanical stress, and easy to use during both manufacturing and installation. These qualities have established STFE as one of the most innovative products for the architecture of tomorrow, with emphasis on greater creativity and sustainability.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”967,965″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” pagination_text_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”3px|20px|3px||false|false” auto=”on” auto_speed=”5000″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”|300|||||||” header_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px|||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px||20px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ header_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0.03em” header_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0.03em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”|300|||||||” header_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|20px|20px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||20px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ header_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0.03em” header_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0.03em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Driving the organisation\u2019s growth strategy, innovation is a cornerstone of Serge Ferrari Group and a major source of differentiation.
