Dimond natural lighting solutions for roofs and walls provide unparalleled strength and durability for commercial applications. Make significant power savings over the products lifetime by utilising the power of the sun. Manufactured in many of Dimond's profiles and with a range of tints, there's sure to be a product that will fit your needs.

Durolite natural lighting sheets for roofs and walls provide good strength and durability for commercial building applications. Durolite is a premium grade glass fibre reinforced polyester sheet manufactured using advanced gel coat technology with an integral 100 micron thick gel coat on the top surface. It is guaranteed to transmit natural light for a period of 25 years while retaining material strength and load span capacity.

Profile Range

The following profiles are available in all Dimond Natural Lighting products. In addition, profiles matching most other metal roofing products may be available.

Barrier Strip

The recommended strip to use as a barrier between the purlin/mesh and Natural Lighting sheets is Purlin Protection Strip (PPS). These flat sheet strips of GPP are provided with double sided tape on one side for attachment onto the purlin over the netting or safety mesh before the Natural Lighting sheets are fixed down. They are supplied in either 70mm or 90mm wide strips to best suit the purlin flange width.

Fasteners

Primary Natural Lighting sheet fasteners should be the correct length gauge and grade of screw fastener for the profile and will therefore be specified as the same fastener as for the adjoining metal sheeting. Clearfix 12g x 65mm long hex head self-drilling screws, drill both an oversized clearance hole in the Natural Lighting sheet and self drill into timber or steel purlins. Suitable for Corrugate, Styleline/VeedekTM, Dimondclad into timber or steel purlins and DP955, BB900, LT7 and V-Rib profiles into steel purlins only.
