ArchiTextiles are textile materials used for architectural purposes that provide both technical performance and aesthetic qualities. They allow for design creativity and efficiency while also offering durability and sustainability due to material properties. Common structural fabric materials used in architecture include PTFE, SIPE, woven PTFE, ETFE, PVC, and HDPE. These textiles can be constructed through weaving, knitting, or non-woven methods.
