ETFE Canopies for Precision and Durability
At Beijing Daxing International Airport, ETFE made its mark through a series of eight entrance canopies that cover approximately 3,466 m². Composed of 456 ETFE panels, the canopies are supported by a carefully designed steel frame that ensures a clean and structurally efficient fit.
Delivered with Accuracy and Ease
Lightweight cushions allowed for precise engineering with lean supports.
The ETFE system was designed, fabricated, delivered, and installed by our dedicated team, all under tight timelines. The panels were installed precisely, with careful attention to the fit against both weather demands and architectural detailing. The result: a canopy system that meets performance requirements and contributes to the airport’s sleek, modern aesthetic.

Lightweight Efficiency and Long-Term Value
ETFE’s lightweight nature meant the supporting structure could be leaner, saving on materials and installation time. The canopies offer protection while remaining visually unobtrusive, and because ETFE resists weathering and pollution, it requires little upkeep. That means a canopy solution that’s built to last, without frequent maintenance.
