Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. supplied the fluororesin ETFE film for the roof of the National Stadium and also for the National Aquatics Center in Beijing. The National Stadium used approximately 50,000 square metres of Fluon® ETFE film. The National Aquatics Center (NAC), used approximately 300,000 square metres of the ETFE film. This makes it the largest and most complex ETFE project in the world.
Over recent years in Europe Fluon® ETFE film has been used increasingly as a construction material. Another example is the Allianz Arena football stadium in Munich, Germany. The film has some unique features, such as transparency with high light transmittance, is lightweight so ensures the cost of its supporting structure is reduced, is durable guaranteeing a long service life and is flexible which allows architects to come up with innovative designs. Another element of the design flexibility is that it is possible to print on the surface of the film which also makes it possible to control heat and light in stadiums. Coloured film can further enhance the design. For the National Stadium of Beijing printed film was selected and for the National Aquatics Center a combination of coloured and printed film was the preferred option. |
