Vehicle room extensions from the air

Discover new dimensions

X GLOO is specialised in developing innovative pneumatic textile structures that can be used as vehicle-bound room extensions. These high-quality structures are made from the patented X GLOO 3DTEX textile fabric and offer a flexible solution for additional space at a completely new level of comfort in the caravanning sector.

Comfort and a unique sense of space

The inflatable X GLOO 3DTEX roof tents and room extensions for recreational vehicles provide
a unique feeling of space and have numerous advantages compared to conventional solutions.

high sleeping comfort

The opaque, sound absorbing and temperature insulating  XGLOO 3DTEX is the basis for a high sleeping comfort. The wall-like look and feel of the 3DTEX creates a unique sense of space.

UV & weather resistant

Due to the solvent free PU-Coating X GLOO 3DTEX is very resistant against UV, water, wind and much more. The walls out of woven 3D structures formed by X-Tether, also helps facing against strong forces like wind.

Easy to use

The roof can be easily opened and closed using the on-board control system or the pump's control panel. No hands-on is necessary!

high safety standard

Electronic monitoring of the air pressure ensures that the pneumatic structure is stable and safe at all times. In addition, the structures consist of several chambers so that if one chamber is damaged, the structure is held in place by the other chambers.

temperatur-insulating

The X GLOO 3DTEX is filled with air volume which has a temperature-insulating effect. The insulation value of an 8 to 15 cm thick layer of air in the chambers corresponds to about an 8 cm thick brick wall. Heat transfer coefficient: 2.28W/m²/K

sound absorbing

The X GLOO 3DTEX is filled with air and air volume has a sound-absorbing effect.

X GLOO Pneumatic

Roof and mattress - inflated in no time at all

X GLOO supplies the right pump and control & monitoring systems for the pneumatic textile structures.

With the particularly quiet X-PUMP, a pop-up roof for a camping vehicle can be inflated or deflated in less than 2 minutes. And don't worry - if the air pressure drops, it is automatically re-pumped.

The pneumatic unit is installed in the rear garage or in furniture in the interior to save space and is connected directly to the vehicle electronics. The pump works with 12 V on-board voltage and has a power consumption of up to 300 watts.  
 

Comfort setting for mattresses included

The mattress in the roof bed can be inflated softer or harder as required via an app or at the touch of a button.

TRAVEL SMALL - LIVE BIG

With the ability to activate the room extension while stationary, there is no need for a large vehicle. Easy handling and everyday usability, together with  eco-friendly consumption levels through weight- and volume savings are of primary importance.

@ Hymer GmbH & Co. KG

The pneumatic lifting roof is controlled electronically via a control panel, the vehicle electronics or an app, as required. 
The mattresses can be inflated automatically and the firmness level can be selected. 
more information

The system consists of the lifting roof and an intelligent pneumatic system that continuously monitors the pressure and pumps it up if necessary.

Depending on the vehicle type, the set-up time is approx. 90 - 120 seconds.

Depending on the size of the fabric bellows and the size and number of mattresses used, it takes between 1.5 and 3 minutes to lower the roof.

No, this is not possible. A filling pressure of 150-200mbar prevails during operation. The pump can deliver up to 300mbar. The burst pressure of the roofs is 1400mbar.

Our Projects

Lyseo Gallery TD 689 G

Feel-good atmosphere on the second floor

The innovative Bürstner Gallery Roof construction including X GLOO 3DTEX lifting bellows creates a generous space under the roof. The walls of the bellows, which inflate in 90 seconds at the touch of a button, are just over one metre high. The huge skylight and side windows flood the room with light and air. At the same time, the volume of air in the bellows provides good insulation. 
 

Tested by Bürstner
The Lyseo Gallery TD was subjected to a variety of different stresses in the climate chamber: In ten cycles, each lasting 24 hours, the inflatable alcove was tested in heat, cold, wind, water and snow load. The Gallery's inflatable alcove was exposed to wind speeds of up to 12 km/h (120 km/h) and temperatures ranging from -30 °C to +80 °C. Snowfall was also simulated. Snowfall was also simulated: 0.5 m of old snow and 1 m of fresh snow, which corresponds to a load of 300 kg.
The alcove withstood all weather conditions without any problems.

Hymer Venture S

Small vehicle - generous space

The Hymer Venture S offers a generous amount of space thanks to the new inflatable lifting bellows. When fully unfolded, the sleeping area on the upper floor measures 1.50 metres in height.
The air mattress-like side walls are made from the extremely stable X GLOO 3DTEX textile structure - and don't worry - should a leak occur, there are two air chambers for safety. The inflated walls also serve as heat and sound insulation.

Control via app

The compressor, which is no louder than a table hoover, is activated via a button and the sleeping area is ready within a minute. The mattress in the roof bed can also be inflated softer or harder via a mobile phone app. The sleeping area is a generous 2.10 metres long and 1.48 metres wide.

At the head end of the roof bed, there is a large foil window that can be opened for ventilation and to look out. There is also a fly screen and a thermal mat for use in winter.

Adria TWIN Sports 640 SGX

The Adria TWIN Sports 640 SGX is the newly developed series vehicle from Adria that combines outdoor adventure with modern comfort and flexibility.

An outstanding option of the TWIN Sports 640 SGX is the pneumatic pop-up roof, which is equipped with X GLOO 3DTEX technology. It consists of three robust air chambers that guarantee maximum safety and at the same time create a spacious and comfortable sleeping area. 

Simple operation 
The pop- up roof can be conveniently controlled via the on-board control system or a mobile app.
Thanks to the selected woven structures and the slightly waisted design, the pop-up roof evacuates particularly well and takes up comparatively little space when closed

Flexible, modern and safe
The Adria TWIN Sports 640 SGX combines the best of both worlds: compact dimensions for flexible travelling and a well thought-out space concept for maximum comfort. Thanks to the optional pop-top roof, this campervan can be transformed into a cosy sleeping area in a matter of seconds.

Our CVO gives you a brief insight into the world of X GLOO 3DTEX technology and explains the advantages of the material using the brand new
‘Adria Twin Sports’. Have fun listening!
