This new membrane called “ATLAS Architecture” owes its name to the Titan from the Greek mythology. ATLAS Architecture stands for aesthetic design, strength, protection and longevity. The ATLAS membranes are revolutionary and unique fabrics, based on a better PVC-coating and an innovative ATLAS weave structure applied to architecture membranes. These fabrics open a wide range of new and amazing possibilities for your projects.

What makes ATLAS Architecture membranes unique?

• The ATLAS weave: the distinctive mark of the ATLAS weave is the extra smooth surface of the fabric. To create this unique weave, we use more weft threads on the upper side of the membrane – and this is the reason for the fantastic sheen of the coated fabric

• The ATLAS quality: the PET yarns are covered with a thicker PVC-coating which protects the fabric even better. The result is an extremely strong membrane with a particularly long service life.

• The ATLAS elastic performances: the elastic behavior in warp and weft of the ATLAS membranes is much more homogenous than that of conventional fabrics. ATLAS membranes have less elongation difference between warp and weft, and stretch in both directions in a more uniform way, without constriction to a desirable flexibility and elasticity in textile architecture.

• The ATLAS tensile strength: thanks to the higher yarn density of the base cloth, these fabrics have a higher tensile strength, by up to 16% compared to a panama fabric.

• The new ATLAS lacquer: the new lacquer for the ATLAS membranes offers better protection from the UV-rays, which has a major positive impact on the durability of the fabric. The fabrics of the ATLAS product line are finished with a TFL lacquer (= TiO2 weldable PVDF lacquer) or with a TFX lacquer (= TiO2 + a new hyper-PVDF lacquer non-weldable) that guarantee excellent durability of the product.

• The ATLAS look and feel: the ATLAS membranes are whiter than conventional fabrics and have a beautiful shiny surface. The even surface of these high-quality fabrics ensures their elegant look and a homogeneous light transmission. The smooth surface hinders soiling, thus these fabrics are cleaner than conventional membranes.
