FRP Roofing & Cladding

FRP Roofing & Cladding  |  Design Consideration

Recommended

Recommended

  1. It is recommended to start fibreglass sheeting installation from the ridge capping which will help prevent leakage.
  2. Ridge to purlin installation has less skylight area compared to ridge to gutter installation. However, it can be compensated by installing continuous SPACE™ Wall Siding.
  3. The installation of ridge to purlin incorporating SPACE™ Wall Siding is to enable a deeper installation of the siding sheets at the same intervals as the roofing skylights.
  4. Generally recommended FRP Translucent sheet installation is not less than 10% of total roof area in order to achieve desired illuminance.

Not Recommended

Not Recommended

  1. Good fibreglass translucent sheet must be able to diffuse light evenly instead of scattering unevenly to an area where light is required.
  2. In case window type design is unavoidable, FRP sheet must be placed on top of metal sheet to prevent leakage.
  3. In case “not recommended” installation is unavoidable, two continuous beads of clear non-hardening silicone sealant must be applied to prevent leakage.
