Fritting (or printing) is the most commonly used way to do this; a regular pattern of shapes is printed onto the underside of the top layer of ETFE foil. By using a silver ink, the pattern reflects light, and therefore heat, before it permeates through the …

Printing: Also known as fritting, the surface of the foil is covered with a variety of patterns to reduce solar gain while retaining translucency. By varying the percentage of coverage and density of the ink, the energy transmission can be altered. Alternatively, the foil can be over printed with a number of treatments to affect transmission.

2009年5月15日 · are not required, ETFE also has the ability to be printed or “fritted” with a range of patterns. This fritting can be used to reduce solar gain while retaining transparency; or alternatively, it can incorporate a white body tint to render the foil translucent. ETFE cushions can be lit internally with LED lighting to make them glow or

These include adding fritting to the top layer of the ETFE foil, using white or matt diffused ETFE foil or using tinted ETFE foil specifically designed to reduce solar gain. Fritting: Using a specialist printing method, the surface of the ETFE foil can covered with a silver pattern to reflect light transmission and reduce solar gain while ...

Fritting: Using a specialist printing method, the surface of the ETFE foil can be covered with a silver pattern to reflect light transmission and reduce solar gain while ...

When high levels of light and UV transmission are not required, ETFE also has the ability to be printed, or fritted, with a range of patterns. This fritting can be used to reduce solar gain while retaining transparency or alternatively can incorporate a white body tint to …

The amount of solar shading and transparency can be changed by adjusting the translucency, density and number of layers, as well as with the use of frit patterns. Much like a glazed system, increased thermal performance is also possible with a multi-layered ETFE material approach.

2024年3月6日 · ETFE fritting works to reduce the quantity of light and heat that is transmitted by ETFE. This process often includes printing a pattern of shapes onto the underside of the roof’s top layer. The silver film used to create these frit patterns reflects light and heat, limiting the degree to which they permeate a roof structure and impact the ...

2016年1月1日 · The ETFE cushions consist of 2 layered foils: 200µm top layer with fritted leaf pattern and 150µm transparent bottom layer. Large gaps between the ETFE canopies and the roofs of the adjacent buildings were intentionally provided for more daylight admission and enhancing natural buoyancy ventilation.
