Buitink Technology has made and delivered 3 lens-shaped ETFE cushions as skylights for the new construction of the campus of ARTFX in Roubais by order of Highpoint Structures.

The largest cushion has a diameter and thus a free span of no less than 10 metres. To achieve this large free span, a cable construction was fitted at the top and bottom.

Features ETFE film

ETFE foil is transparent, allows about 95% light through, is self-cleaning (chemically inert) and has an expected life span of > 30 years.
