the UVB tanning rays through better than glass.

Patented design The unique and innovative
design allows the premade panels to be slotted
together to form a variety of design solutions
ETFE will not support combustion and are safer
in use, requiring fewer fire exits than where
other plastic construction materials are used.
ETFE exhibits very low co-efficient of
friction, which means that dirt finds it very
difficult to adhere to the panels they are thus
self cleaning.
