Vector Foiltec is a business using transparent plastic (ETFE) cushions filled with air as an architectural cladding technology.

The cushions are restrained around their perimeter by aluminium extrusions, which are in turn fastened to a supporting primary structure.

The cushions are inflated with air at low pressure to provide insulation and to resist wear caused by wind.

Each layer can be modified with a variety of treatments to alter its aesthetic quality, its apparent transparency, and the level of solar gain.

[2] The material's innate toughness, resistance to tearing, and ability to work harden over a 300-400% elongation range allow Texlon to endure significant deformation of its support structure.
