Add to ORKGThis paper reviews the advantages of lightweight tensioned coated fabrics and foils applied to the existing building sector in order to improve the insulating/shading performance of the external building envelope. The paper describes the main systems developed in the last few years in this field such as pneumatic façades, double curved membrane façades and flat tensioned façades (prefabricated textile panels or tensioned onsite). In addition, the paper analyses the range of foils, coated fabrics and open mesh coated fabrics commonly in use, such as ETFE, Polyester/PVC, Fibreglass/Silicone, Fibreglass/PTFE and ETFE foils
