TENSEO® FRONTSIDE® GFM 21
Textile facade
Serge Ferrari’s Tenseo Frontside GFM 21 is a mesh membrane designed for façades and suspended ceilings that meet high fire safety standards thanks to its low combustible mass (less than 3 MJ/kg) and its Euroclass A2-s1,d0 classification. The flexibility and lightness of the material allow for the creation of single- and double-skin façades, shading structures, internal partitions and suspended ceilings, offering solutions for both internal and external applications. The 21% porosity provides transparency and control of solar radiation, acting as a sunshade.
Advantages
Fire performance – certified to Euroclass A2-s1,d0, it is suitable for public spaces or areas open to the public with high concentrations of people, such as stations, airports, shopping centres, schools, hospitals, etc.
Visual and acoustic transparency – the micro-perforated structure allows light and sound to pass through, maintaining visibility to the outside and ensuring a high level of brightness.
Solar shading and ventilation – the open mesh allows air to pass through and provides natural solar shading, contributing to thermal and visual comfort.
Lightweight and sustainable – Thanks to its low weight, GFM 21 requires only a minimal support structure, reducing material usage and the carbon footprint (EPD available on request); this feature makes it ideal for both refurbishment projects and new builds.
Strength and durability – it offers high mechanical strength and exceptional resistance to weathering and UV rays. The PTFE finish, thanks to its non-stick surface, prevents dirt from adhering.
Design – The membrane adapts to complex shapes and is available in white or silver finishes.
Frontside meshes are an excellent option for an attractive façade cover, offering a number of benefits: thermal protection, visual comfort, transparency, durability. Their lightweight, combined with excellent robustness, enables use on all types of façade in both new-build and renovation projects.
