Creative expression in building design

The light weight and flexibility of composite membranes offer tremendous freedom in creating innovative and expressive designs. Tensioned roofs are ideal for large span roofs, allowing the transmission of natural light for a more comfortable atmosphere.

Solutions for open and closed buildings

Serge Ferrari's Flexlight membranes enable the installation of tensile roofs on open structures such as stadiums, amphitheaters or covered playgrounds. They also enable the creation of roofs or entire envelopes for closed buildings to enable the transmission of natural light into atriums, shopping malls, gymnasiums, arenas, airports and other public buildings. Double skin thermal insulation solutions are also available.

Durable materials

With its Précontraint technology, Serge Ferrari has developed a range of high performance composite materials with lasting mechanical properties and proven aesthetics. Flexlight membranes are a perfect example of Serge Ferrari's environmental approach: they are eco-designed and can be recycled via Texyloop.
