ETFE And PTFE Canopy Membrane For Commercial Shopping Mall Guangzhou

Conghua Phoenix Xintiandi Commercial Building was constructed by Zhejiang Wanhao Company. The project is located in Fengyuan Village, Jiangpu Street, Conghua District. The commercial street has two underground parking lots and five above ground urban commercial complexes, adjacent to the G105 central gallery, with obvious transportation advantages. The total construction area of the project is 74925.62 square meters, including 44196.59 square meters of above ground 5 floors and 30729.03 square meters of underground 2 floors.

ETFE film material has good transparency, self-cleaning and weather resistance, which can provide sufficient natural lighting for commercial streets, reduce energy consumption, and its surface is smooth and not easily contaminated with dust, with low maintenance costs. PTFE membrane material has excellent properties such as fire resistance, waterproofing, and corrosion resistance, which can effectively ensure the safety and service life of buildings. The combination of two types of membrane materials not only presents a unique architectural effect visually, but also balances functionality and practicality.

ETFE and PTFE membrane structures have extremely high requirements for construction technology. ETFE membrane material has good transparency and flexibility, but wrinkles are prone to occur during its construction process, which affects the stress performance of the membrane material. During construction, members of the Wanhao project paid special attention to the protection of ETFE membrane materials to avoid direct folding and wrinkling. The construction of PTFE membrane materials also faces challenges, and detailed engineering design and construction plan preparation are required before construction. During the prefabrication and processing of membrane materials, extremely high precision is required for dimension measurement, material cutting, and welding treatment.

The completion of Conghua Phoenix Xintiandi Commercial street will fill the gap of the lack of scene one-stop shopping center in the region for a long time. Its unique ETFE+PTFE membrane structure canopy will become a new landmark in Conghua District, attracting more tourists and consumers. The completion of the project will also help upgrade regional consumption and provide a benchmark for the future quality of life for young customers in the region. At the same time, the project is expected to bring agglomeration effects and develop in conjunction with multiple large surrounding real estate projects, forming a new urban living circle.
