Serge Ferrari has been known across the world since it was founded for its ability to innovate and provide high-performance composite membranes.

The Serge Ferrari group will present its latest innovations at the BIG 5 trade fair that opens in Dubai on November 5. The company, inventor of the patented Précontraint® technology, is constantly creating new and ever more efficient solutions to meet the full range of performance requirements for buildings.

What is a Serge Ferrari® Précontraint composite membrane?

Composite membranes are made from a weave of micro-cables (such as high-tenacity polyester) covered with several layers of high-performance polymers. Serge Ferrari® Précontraint technology consists of applying the coating while keeping the warp and weft threads in tension throughout the manufacturing cycle. This process gives the membranes exceptional dimensional stability and resistance.

In addition, the group is vertically integrated from the production line (spinning, coating, extrusion, etc.) to product recycling so that the manufacturing quality can be maintained right up to the end of the product’s service life.

For architectural purposes, Serge Ferrari provides new and unique composite membranes that are derived from the company’s R & D expertise. These eco-designed membranes, which are 100% recyclable, comply with the new, low-consumption thermal requirements (bioclimatic facades and solar protection) and the latest acoustic standards whilst retaining their aesthetic integrity. They fully comply with construction procedures in accordance with the new environmental standards (HQE, LEED and BREEAM).

Serge Ferrari® composite membranes are lightweight, long-lasting and recyclable using the Texyloop® process. They provide technical, functional and environmental solutions that are ideally suited to the most stringent requirements for major sporting events, as is evidenced by the many references in this area: the Warsaw National Stadium used for Euro 2012; the main stadium, velodrome, aquatic centre and water polo arena for the London Olympics; the Pan-American Games; and the Foshan stadium in China.

Serge Ferrari will present several new innovations at Big 5:

  • Soltis® solar protection. Soltis® screens are genuine thermal shields with very high resistance. They absorb and reflect back the heat from solar radiation whilst maintaining optimal, glare-free outward visibility.

  • Stamisol® facades: “expressive materials” for architects and builders for transforming or renovating a facade to make it a unique and attractive feature thanks to Stamisol®’s transparency and colour tones, its curved volumes and custom graphic printing.

  • The Batyline® range. Lightweight and flexible, the Batyline® line range offers great freedom in choosing shapes and sizes for floor and wall solutions or as decorative elements.

Operating in more than 80 countries, the sales and marketing strategy of SERGE FERRARI is based on close links with everyone it works with. The company has premises in the United Arab Emirates with a subsidiary in Dubai.
