Ferrari of France has developed a new generation of glass/silicone membranes for interior applications - Batyline SK 300.
Composite textiles for building applications
Stamisol FT 371 membrane, the latest release from Ferrari, the French producer of composite textiles for large-scale building applications, combines stability, transparency, and durability.
Ferrari Stamisol FT 371 membrane
Stamisol FT 37 textile membrane can easily be fitted on the outside of buildings, providing protection from the sun in the summer and forming an insulating barrier in the winter.
It enhances areas that require very strong light and fire protection such as French classification type M0 or Euroclass A2 s1 d0 (non-flammable materials).
No matter the architecture, this material adapts.
It is simple and flexible, yet sturdy enough to be a permanent fixture.
It can be suspended as a partition, hung horizontally as a stretch ceiling.
It can also be printed, helping to identify areas, enhancing a conceptual organization or layout, or to embellish large, open spaces.
As a vertically suspended textile or a stretch ceiling, this material helps to absorb sound in large rooms.
This non-flammable material is ideal for use in industrial environments, such as providing fire safety for warehouses in conformity with T 30-1.
It blends perfectly with glass to diffuse light, and is ideal for ceilings in industrial buildings because it allows natural light in.
Being 50% translucent, this material provides a wonderful luminosity.
If light is behind it, the material acts as transparent veil; in front of it, it acts as an opaque, reflective panel, which also makes it useful as a projection screen.
From a single source of projection, the texture and translucency of the material ensure good image definition on both sides.
Silicone, a long-lasting inert substance, guarantees this textile a lifespan of about 30 years.
The benefits of silicone include exceptional resistance to UV rays and humidity.
This textile adapts perfectly to extreme temperatures from -58degF to 356degF and helps to improve heat insulation.
When installed as a ceiling, these silicone benefits allow it to insulate and protect technical or electrical equipment installed above it.
The Madrid Barajas Airport in Sprain, where abundant daylight penetrates using this innovation, is the leading site reference for Batyline SK 300.
