ETFE Presence across Middle East

ETFE in Abu Dhabi -UAE & Saudi Arabia

Abu Dhabi was the first city in the Middle to incorporate ETFE roofs and facades into its remarkable architecture around 2008. Since then, the use of ETFE has expanded to other cities, particularly in large green houses(gardens spaces) and shopping malls in Dubai, Riyadh, Jeddah, Doha, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Muscat. Currently, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Dubai  are poised for another surge in ETFE applications as it embarks on significant architectural innovations, and we are excited to support this development. Over the years, several mega projects ETFE have been completed in the Middle East such as avenues malls ETFE and many more substantial applications

Featured Products  ETFE Envelopes 

ETFE Cushion Roofs

Lightweight and highly transparent pneumatic pillows designed for long roofs and skylights.
-Customizable print patterns and multi-layer structures both daylighting and thermal efficiency.
- Significantly lighter than glass, allowing for reduced primary steel requirements. - Offers high visible-light transmission with frit patterns to minimize glare. - Low maintenance . - Suitable for hot, humid, and coastal climates in the GCC countries

Single-Layer ETFE Facades

These are transparent or membranes stretched over cables or lightweight frameworks. They are perfect for atriums, canopies, and striking feature façades designs with minimal weight- Quick installation; flexible for intricate shapes - Excellent UV and chemical resistance; extended lifespan - Suitable for projection, lighting, and branding applications - Works seamlessly with cable-net systems

Why ETFE Works: 

Lightweight

Drastically lower dead load than glass enables

long spans and slender support steel

Daylight control

High visible‑light transmission with optional printed frit patterns for glare, solar gain, and identity.

Durable & low maintenance

Resistant to UV, pollution, and chemicals; non‑stick surface reduces cleaning frequency

Design freedom

Works as cushions or tensioned single‑layer; great for complex geometry and kinetic ideas.

Sustainability

Recyclable, long‑lasting envelopes with material efficiency and daylighting benefits
