PREMIUM TENSILE MEMBRANES
One of the key considerations for the roof structure is the choice of membrane material - PVC-coated polyester or PTFE-coated fibreglass. MakMax Australia offers a range of the best PVC and PTFE membranes in the world from suppliers who have passed our rigorous quality testing and share our commitment to quality, longevity and performance. We recommend membranes with the most suitable properties for attractive and long-lasting tensile membrane structures.
While both PVC and PTFE are durable and hard-wearing materials, PTFE membranes have a significantly longer life-span, maintaining their performance under much harsher conditions.
