# What Are the Materials Most Commonly Used for the Roof of a Space Frame Structure?
A space frame structure is fabricated out of lightweight struts interlocked to form a geometric shape. The underlying components of a space frame roof are of the same material as the rest of the structure, while outer layers of roof may be constructed of different materials.
-
Stainless Steel
-
Stainless steel plates are used in space frame structures. The plates are in different geometric shapes and form the outer layer of the roof.
Polycarbonate
-
Polycarbonate plates are used in some space frame structure roofs. Polycarbonate is a virtually unbreakable translucent material that allows light to pass through into the structure.
Glass
-
Float glass measuring 4 mm thick is sometimes used in the roof of a space frame structure. This type of material is used in geodesic greenhouses.
