Natural Lighting

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.

The technologically advanced Durolite HeatGuard range is specially designed to reduce the heat transmitted into the building through natural lighting sheets while still providing a high level of light. The higher the number the less heat it transmits. Durolite HG4 and Durolite HG8 have infrared reflecting additives in the gel coat which reduce the heat transmitted without losing light transmission.

Webglass is a gel coated surface protected sheet, that embodies a heavy gauge woven glass mat reinforcement. The sheet strength means that wire safety mesh is not required under the sheeting. Webglass is typically used for roofing and cladding on buildings where metal substrates would quickly corrode and deteriorate at an unacceptable rate. The gel coated top surface can be translucent to allow for natural lighting or coloured to block out the light.

Webglass Plus incorporates vinyl ester resins which offers better resistance to Hydrocarbons or high levels of acid or alkalines than standard Webglass. Webglass Plus carries a 20 year surface erosion warranty.

Durolite FireGuard 3 (FG3) has a bromine free formulation, have been developed to provide a natural lighting sheet, while meeting the fire requirements of the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC).
