The possibilities are endless for tensile architecture structures with Lumira™ aerogel. Incorporating Lumira insulation between traditional PTFE membranes allows for dramatically increased thermal efficiency without adding significant weight or creating a barrier to natural light. In fact, adding Lumira aerogel helps you to maximize your daylighting potential, by creating soft, diffused light.
Tension structures insulated with Lumira aerogel offer:
- Limitless form potential - fluid forms using minimal structure
- Wide range of thermal performance - from R2 (2.84 Wm2/K through R24 (0.23 Wm2/K)
- Cost effective for long spans - using the insulated fabric component as a structural element allows for the reduction of other structural elements - eliminating cost and furthering daylighting potential
