Pneumatic cushions made of ETFE foil – Roofing the terrace of a restaurant in Krakow

Details of the ETFE foil roofing implementation:

Location: Krakow

Material: ETFE cushion

General contractor: Abastran Sp Z. O. O.

Scope: Design implementation, construction work, delivery and installation of the roof

The modern roofing of the restaurant terrace in Krakow was designed with aesthetics and functionality in mind. The single-story steel construction ensures the stability and longevity of the entire system. The main support frames are approximately every 5.5 meters apart, ensuring even load distribution. Thanks to additional bracing beams, the construction is even more resistant to various weather influences.

The roof is based on the existing concrete slab and is not permanently attached to the ground, allowing for easy adaptation to the changing needs of the restaurant. The external walls are covered with glass panels attached directly to the steel structure, providing plenty of natural light inside and an aesthetic appearance.

The most characteristic element of the roof are pneumatic cushions made of ETFE film. The assembly is carried out using aluminum profiles, which ensures a solid and secure attachment. ETFE films are extremely light and transparent and offer excellent light transmission and weather resistance. The roof pitch is 4 degrees, which is enough to ensure good rainwater drainage.
