The Frontside View 381 membrane was the mesh medium for ink jet printing by Printable:

  • a single 1,300m² panel

  • height 11.70m

  • width 110m

The post-print varnish, specially designed to resist UV, ensures long-term colour resistance, enabling the product to be guaranteed for 10 years.

This textile wall, installed in front of the glass façade of a building, acts as a second skin. It protects against the wind and sun, thus ensuring comfort and well-being for the building's users. 
It also affords privacy for the occupants, while preserving their outside view.
Finally, the Serge Ferrari composite membrane protects the building from the heat of the sun, enabling energy savings and lower operating costs.
 
Personalised printing transforms the Frontside View 381 membrane into a communication tool, promoting the Cheops brand and enhancing the building's appearance, making it more visible from the motorway.
