Providing a comfortable and attractive environment for sports halls, sanitary and social facilities, Svitap’s Double Synthetic Membrane can be used with an open side in summer; in winter, heating and ventilation are needed only when the hall is occupied, with good energy balance for a low cost of heating and lighting. The special finish and high UV filter of the economical membrane prevent greenhouse effects in summer, making events in hot weather more comfortable.
