Stadium Roofing
FSM
times stronger than glass at a fraction of the weight; this makes it an ideal material for projects with very large-span roofs like the London Stadium, which has one of the largest tensile roofs in the world. What’s more, advanced polycarbonate technology allows for 90% light transmission whilst blocking 98% of harmful UV rays, if the right products are specified. This enables spectators to enjoy the experience of sitting outside without the risk of over exposure at long events.
Polycarbonate also provides spectators with increased visibility, creating a lighter and less claustrophobic environment, such as in the south stand at the Etihad stadium. This can reduce reliance on artificial lighting for the stands and positively impact the site’s energy bill.
Choosing the right supplier is also crucial to ensuring you can maximise the longevity of a roof and select a product that provides what you need. For example, defects in the manufacturing process could compromise the rigidity and strength capabilities that make polycarbonate so well suited to stadium applications. For restoration and refurbishment projects, it
is also advisable to look for manufacturers who
offer and array of corrugated profiles or can match existing profiles; this will simplify installation and facilitate improved water tightness.
Consequently, there are numerous benefits that can be attained by installing a transparent roof in a stadium but in order to capitalise on these, careful
consideration of the product
specification must be made, followed by adequate and regular maintenance in order to provide longevity for your roofing system and provide spectators with the best experience.
