Instead of glass for a typical skylight, ETFE film is a durable and lightweight option to help create transparent lighting into the space below. Whether ETFE is used in a multi-layered pneumatic system or a single-layer system renforced with cables, it's being considered the material of choice for traditional skylight applications to long span structures to building facades. This medical center is a great example of how ETFE can be used in a skylight application.
