Foils have been used for roofing structures for more than 20 years. This innovative technology was originally used mainly to cover swimming pools and zoo buildings. Nowadays this innovative system, which combines transparency and light weight with extremely good insulation characteristics and longevity and is spearheading architectural development, is used by architects such as Nicholas Grimshaw, Michael Hopkins, Norman Foster and Stoermer and the like. At the same time, foils are being used as standard roofing solutions for office atriums, roof lights for factories, etc. ETFE film is an extremely stable plastic that resists any kind of environmental loading whether it is ultraviolet, air pollution, bird debris, etc. Its physical and chemical features do not change over time―the material is "ever lasting."
