Buitink Technology has engineered, produced and assembled two canopy membranes of ETFE foil for the new building of the International School in Almere (ISA).

One canopy measures approximately 2.2 x 11 metres and the other 2.2 x 34 metres. Both canopies - including the 34-metre-long one ! - consist of a single continuous membrane of ETFE film.

ETFE foil - the right choice!

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