Membrane Building Envelopes

Enclos Tensile Structures specializes in creating advanced membrane building envelopes designed for modern architectural needs. Our systems range from individual tensile components—such as membrane roofs and façade panels—up to complete, fully integrated membrane envelope solutions for entire buildings.

While PTFE and PVC membranes are widely used for certain applications, the most commonly requested material for building envelope systems is ETFE. ETFE can be applied as a single-layer tensioned membrane or as a multi-layer pneumatically pressurized cushion system, depending on daylighting, insulation, and structural requirements.

At a fraction of the weight of conventional glass, ETFE, PTFE, and PVC membranes require minimal structural support—enabling lightweight, elegant, and architecturally expressive envelopes that were previously impossible with traditional glazing systems.

Our membrane building envelopes offer exceptional energy efficiency, low maintenance requirements, long service life, and the ability to diffuse natural daylight into interior spaces. They also support sustainable design goals by reducing structural steel usage and enabling recyclable material choices.
