Dupont Tedlar: Metal Lamination

This skyscraper hotel in central Paris designed by Pierre Dufauet Associésand built in 1974 has had several different owners, from the Sheraton to the Méridien, before finally becoming the Pullman Hotel Montparnasse in 2011. What hasn’t changed is the striking 18,000 sqm façade featuring steel cladding, laminated with white Tedlar® film.

Almost half a century later, the hotel’s interior has undergone major refurbishment, whilst the exterior with its vertical, angular lines remains untouched and in pristine condition, without yellowing, chalking or corrosion, helping to make this hotel a recognizable Parisian landmark from afar.
