Alsynite NZ has created a new product that addresses industry concerns relating to
natural-light roofing being classified as 'brittle' and being a danger to foot traffic on the roof.

Aptly named, Topglass GC Ultra Safe uses a heavy-duty, woven roving reinforcing system positioned within the resin matrix, giving it exceptional strength. 

Features and Benefits

  • Topglass® GC Ultra-Safe is manufactured using heavy-duty woven roving enclosed within the resin matrix, which provides a structural capability not normally available with traditional translucent roofing materials.
  • It meets the impact strength tests of AS/NZS 4040 and satisfies the requirements of AS 4256.3, eliminating the need for safety mesh to be installed under the sheeting. This is of particular benefit to building designers who face corrosive atmospheres damaging the safety mesh zinc coating.
  • Because the roving matrix runs both longitudinally and laterally within the sheet, Topglass® GC Ultra-Safe demonstrates exceptional high impact strength.
  • A 100-micron Silmar SIL12BE-1659 100-micron gel-coated surface provides long term light transmission and is supported by a 20-year weather surface structured warranty.
  • Corrosion-resistant when installed in a wide range of aggressive environments.
  • Excellent spanning capabilities.

Applications

  • Educational facilities and public assembly areas where there is a danger of people climbing onto a roof.
  • Fertiliser plants
  • Chemical and powder-coating plants
  • Wool scouring facilities
  • Waste water treatment plants
  • Salt extraction facilities
  • Severe marine environments
  • Natural roof lighting where safety mesh is not installed
  • Wood pulp and paper plants
