Industry concerns relating to natural roof-lighting being classified as ‘brittle’, and therefore possibly posing a danger to foot traffic on the roof, has led to Alsynite NZ purpose-developing a heavy-duty and high-impact roof lighting system to lessen these concerns.
Aptly named Topglass® GC Ultra-Safe, the product uses a heavy-duty, woven roving reinforcing system positioned within the resin matrix, which gives it exceptional strength.
The innovative fastening system jointly developed by Alsynite NZ Ltd and our fastening supplier provides maximum security to any foot traffic across the roof once installed, whether in the day, the night, or in times of restricted visibility.
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 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
