Rooflite Fibreglass

Rooflite fibreglass is a quality translucent fibre reinforced polyester sheet, manufactured in domestic grade as well as industrial grades 2400gsm, 3050gsm and3660gsm. The sheet is produced using quality Estarez resin (UV stabilised) and is backed by 5 year warranty for domestic grades and 10 year warranty for industrial grades.

Rooflite Galcool

Rooflite galcool is specialised heat reducing fibre reinforced polyester sheeting designed for industrial, commercial and domestic areas where maximum light with minimum heat is required. The sheet is produced using premium quality raw materials and the latest technology resin and surface films. The sheet allows light transmission of 38% and heat reduction of up to 70%. This is achieved by the fusion of a 25 micron Ultra White polyester film prior to the profile forming and oven cure process, giving the finished product superior heat reflection and a clean aesthetically pleasing product with even light distribution. The product is backed by a 20 year performance warranty when combined with 389 premium grade surface film.

Rooflite 389

Rooflite 389 is a premium grade, long life fibre reinforced polyester sheeting. It is available in industrial grades 2400gsm and over in all profiles. The sheet is produced to the highest standards using quality Estarez resin (UV stabilized) and laminated with premium Melinex film. The product is backed with a 25 year replacement warranty against delamination and fibre show.

Rooflite Fire Resistant

Rooflite FR is a high quality premium translucent fibre reinforced sheeting produced specifically to meet the requirements where improved smoke properties are required. The sheet is manufactured using a wax free polyester resin designed for low smoke generation during fire. The sheeting also has improved weathering over standard roof sheet. The following indices have been achieved when test in accordance with: AS/NZS 1530.3-1999

Ignitability Index 15
Heat evolved Index 7
Spread of flame index 7
Smoke developed Index 8

This product therefore complies without restriction to the building code of Australia class 2 - 9 buildings: General requirements - Specification C1.10

Wind load tables

Absolute maximum allowable span for weight class of Galaxy Rooflite translucent fibreglass sheeting to accommodate internal purlin spacing at a maximum of 1kpa. The sheet weights recommended are designed to withstand the effects of columnar expansion, caused by thermal movement on the entire roof structure and to provide a sheet of the weight and strength necessary to complement the metal roof specified and the supporting structure. Galaxy Rooflite products are manufactured to AS/NZS 4256.3-2006
