The covered roof at Changsha Commerical Park is a good example of the use of single layer ETFE. It covers an open resting area but dry space for people gather and have a rest. Without a requirement for insulation, with a need to keep costs down and with a desire to maintain natural light, single ply ETFE provided a good solution.

The ETFE was supported by a cable net to accommodate the larger spans. These were inserted through pockets on the underside of the fabric and the intertwining of the lateral and longitudinal cable mesh helps the fabric resist snow loads and wind uplift. Additionally, a study was carried out on the support cable locations which found that additional cables were needed in certain

 locations again to avoid problems with ponding.

ETFE is considered the material of choice for a number of architectural projects.
