The name behind the landmarks Architectural Membrane I II IIA V The leader and pioneer in architectural membranes. Over forty years ago the first Sheerfill structure was erected on the University of La Verne campus. OVER FORTY YEARS AGO! It stands today as a shining landmark of the unique luminosity and durability of Sheerfill. With over 70 million square feet (7 million m2) installed world-wide, Saint-Gobain has the proven technical expertise and experience to tackle the next landmark on the planet.

The advantages are obvious day or night. Sheerfill buildings present a stunning architectural profile but the pure beauty lies in Sheerfill’s superior ability to transmit light, bringing the open, airy feeling of color-correct light indoors, filling even large sports complexes and industrial/corporate facilities with diffused natural daylight. At night Sheerfill’s backlit luminosity creates a dramatic architectural signature on the landscape, a landmark visible over great distances. Outstanding energy efficiencies. Sheerfill transmits up to 17% of daylight WITHOUT the heat gain of...

Florida Hospital Waterman, Tavares, Florida USA Self-cleaning. Low-maintenance. PTFE (Teflon®) surfaces have very low surface tension. Dirt and dust are easily removed by rain or a cleaning spray of water. The membrane’s self-cleaning surface will require very little, if any, maintenance during its lifetime…and it will NEVER need painting! Furthermore, there is NO relaxation of the membrane from its original shape, even after years of withstanding high, live loads, such as heavy snows, winds, or continuous exposure to sunlight and warmer temperatures. The fabric remains dimensionally stable...

Your designs are limited only by your imagination. More and more architects are capitalizing on the structural versatility of Sheerfill. A variety of panel shapes can be combined into endless geometric configurations, allowing architects to address complex aesthetic and functional challenges while creating buildings and structures of stunning beauty. The name behind the planet. Sheerfill’s solar reflectance of 71% and its thermal emittance of 89% make it the truly quintessential green choice for companies seeking energy-saving products and the coolest roof on the planet. For valuable LEED...

Features highest tensile strength for spanning greatest distances. Offers the best balance of light transmission and tensile strength. Offers highest light transmission in a medium weight material. Sheerfill IIA Features highest possible light transmission in a heavyweight material. Sheerfill I, II, IIA, and V All will bleach from tan to white when exposed to sunlight.

Born Green. Always Green. While others are working to become “green” Sheerfill® was born green over 40 years ago and , is truly the quintessential “green” choice for companies seeking energy-saving products and the coolest roof on the planet. The first architectural membrane to be rated by CRRC, the Cool Roof Rating Council, Sheerfill has a solar reflectance of 71% and a thermal emittance of 89%. For those seeking LEED points, lower air conditioning costs, and maintenance-free attributes, look no further. Amgen Helix Pedestrian Bridge, Seattle, Washington USA is Now Behind the Planet....

...forever clean, forever green. Saint-Gobain’s revolutionary TiO2-based photocatalytic coating technology Canada Harbour Place, Vancouver, B.C. Canada

EverClean eliminates virtually all surface dirt. ® When UV light strikes the EverClean surface, hydroxy radicals (.OH) and superoxide radicals (O2- ) oxidize all organic substances. Rain or water washes them away. Sheerfill surfaces remain dazzling white forever! Maintenance cleaning and environmentally deleterious cleaning agents are eliminated. The Talisman Centre, Calgary, Alberta Canada EverClean purifies the atmosphere by removing NOX and SOX. Its TiO2 technology in the presence of UV light, through a chemical reduction process, decomposes two atmospheric pollutants— nitrogen oxide and...

Acoustical Membrane I IA The benefits are obvious, even when Fabrasorb isn’t. ® Fabrasorb is a family of acoustical membranes. Used primarily as a liner in Sheerfill Architectural Membrane systems, Fabrasorb can serve as a highly effective and inconspicuous sound attenuator in almost any building. Invisible noise reduction. Virtually invisible to the untrained eye, Fabrasorb, when used as a liner in Sheerfill Architectural systems, significantly reduces interior noise levels. Ideal for sports complexes and industrial facilities, Fabrasorb allows diffuse natural daylight in while minimizing...

Offers maximum noise reduction and tensile strength. Offers a lower cost/performance version of Fabrasorb I. Making a quiet statement. Improves climate conditions. When erected in imaginative ways, a Fabrasorb canopy becomes a functional and attractive focal point in large halls and atriums. A variety of panel shapes can be combined into almost endless geometric configurations. Fabrasorb improves the thermal characteristics of fabric roof systems by providing an extra layer of insulation, helping to keep inside temperatures cool and comfortable, even under the sweltering heat of direct...
