Tron Is Looking Dirty

[Doberge]

While not a comp for material the Louisiana Superdome has a white roof that needs needs frequent pressure washing because of mold growth. In that case, a company did some work to "guarantee" against fast mold growth because it was costing +$100,000 each time to pressure wash and it was happening about every two years but was probably needed at least once per year. That ended up in a lawsuit and I'm unsure where that went but it does seem like it gets cleaned every year now right before football season. Also comparable because it's literally the Superdome's roof and gets sun all day but still gets moldy.

That's all to say that contractors will say what they can get a job and then it doesn't always work out as promised.

It is ETFE.

Then I guess the claims aren't true about it self cleaning based on the evidence!

Florida is very unforgiving in terms of weather conditions causing mold. No excuses, it should be cleaned, but its going to be an ongoing issue due to the environment.

Don’t worry, the first hurricane that comes through will tear that canopy to shreds…

Just park a crane there for 2 - 3 months and let people hang from a basket to wash, worked for the castle lights right?

There’s one in Manhattan they can have for a song…but it’ll need a little work…

Because they just ignored the building code? This isn’t the first use of ETFE in Florida.

I grew up in south FL, so I'm quite regularly horrified by the fact Central FL's main hurricane preparedness plan is "uhh... maybe it'll go away"
on the other hand outside of that wizard orb thing down on 192 getting blasted back in the day, but it does seem to mostly work

I actually don't blame them for it not looking great.

....You don't blame the designers for something that everyone could have predicted?

Make it blue or something. Lol.
