FILON enhanced reinforcement GRP rooflights

FILON Supasafe and Double Reinforced profiled GRP rooflights

Description

FILON Supasafe rooflights are triple reinforced and made with polyester resins and glass fibre mats, featuring two additional reinforcement layers, including a reinforcing woven glass mat. They have undergone an ACR(M)001 Test for Non-Fragility of Large Element Roofing Assemblies, and achieved a Class B non-fragility rating. They offer impact resistance and load-bearing capabilities comparable to 0.7mm steel sheet.

Benefits:

From atmosphere to environmental sustainability, there are many benefits to FILON industrial rooflights:

  • Resistance to weathering – Supasafe Triple Reinforced and DR Double Reinforced Profiled GRP Rooflights come with Filon Protect to the weather face, a highly durable and weather-resistant protective film that increases sheet lifespan and reduces yellowing. These rooflights have a life expectancy of over 30 years and Supasafe around 40 years
  • Fire performance – FILON rooflights undergo testing in accordance with BS 476 parts 3, 6, and 7 and are available in three fire performance grades: SAB class 3, SAA Class 1, and SAA Class 0. All achieve BROOF (t4) to BS EN 13501 Part 5.
  • Accurate profile matching to steel sheet – FILON Supasafe and DR rooflights are made using advanced glass reinforcement technologies and a precise manufacturing process, resulting in a lighter and thinner sheet with comparable impact resistance and load-bearing capabilities to heavier standard production sheets. This thinner sheet allows for more accurate profile definition, enabling better sealing between side and end laps in rooflights and roof sheets.
  • Wide range of profile options – FILON reinforced rooflights are available in a wide range of commonly used roofing profiles. Special colour tinted rooflights can be supplied to special order.
  • Light transmission – FILON DR and Supasafe rooflights provide levels of light transmission similar to that of standard translucent GRP rooflights.

FILON DR (double reinforced) profiled GRP rooflights are made with polyester resins, glass fibre mat, and an extra reinforcing woven glass layer compared to traditional GRP rooflights.

They are assessed according to ACR(M)001 Test for Non-Fragility of Large Element Roofing Assemblies and have a Class B rating when used as a single skin application or part of a multi-layer assembly like FAIRs and site-assembled insulating rooflights.

The DR range comprises of CEDR24 (2.44kg/m2) with better strength characteristics than standard CE30 (3.06kg/m2), and CEDR30 (3.06kg/m2) which slightly surpasses standard CE36 (3.66kg/m2).
