SHEERFILL® in the World Cup 2014

SHEERFILL® Architectural Membrane will grace the roof of one of the venues to be used in the World Cup 2014 to be hosted by Brazil. The Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil will use some 40,000m² of material top form the roof of this structure. This is the first stadium to be awarded with more to follow.

"We look forward to being a big part of this spectacular global event" said Marcel Dery, Market Manager - Architectural.

This past summer, Brazil was home to the biggest sporting event in the world - the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™! 

Saint-Gobain is proud to have had four stadiums covered with SHEERFILL Architectural Membrane - Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro), Mané Garrincha Stadium (Brasilia), Mineirão (Belo Horizonte), Arena Fonte Nova (Salvador).

More than 200,000 square meters of membrane was required to complete these four venues. SHEERFILL has been used in World Cup structures for more than 20 years.
