Description
Introduction
FILON rooflights are manufactured from glass reinforced polyester resin (GRP), with unique light diffusing additives which scatter light passing through, to provide effective daylighting without hot spots, excessive glare or shadow. They are available in over 900 different profiles, to match all current and most discontinued asbestos cement and metal roofing profiles.
Applications
FILON GRP rooflights may be used in single skin and double skin site assembled applications and where necessary, including insulating intermediate layers to provide improved insulation levels for compliance with current legislation. FILON GRP rooflights are available in the various weights types of: CE18; CE24; CE30 and; CE36 respectively with nominal weights of 1.83kg/m², 2.44kg/m², 3.06kg/m² and 3.66kg/m².
Durability
FILON rooflights have excellent impact resistance and sheets for external applications are supplied complete with Filon Protect, a highly durable UV resistant polyester film, factory bonded to the weather face. This extends the durable working life of the sheet and the UV resistance limits sheet yellowing. Under normal conditions, sheet life should be in excess of 30 years.
Non-fragility
The FILON standard range of profiled rooflights and sheets is available at sheet types to provide Class C and Class B non-fragile ratings in accordance with ACR(M)001:2014.
