FILON DR Rooflights

FILON DR (double reinforced) profiled GRP rooflights are made with polyester resins, glass fibre mat, and an extra reinforcing woven glass layer compared to traditional GRP rooflights.

They are assessed according to ACR(M)001 Test for Non-Fragility of Large Element Roofing Assemblies and have a Class B rating when used as a single skin application or part of a multi-layer assembly like FAIRs and site-assembled insulating rooflights.

The DR range comprises of CEDR24 (2.44kg/m²) with better strength characteristics than standard CE30 (3.06kg/m²), and CEDR30 (3.06kg/m²) which slightly surpasses standard CE36 (3.66kg/m²).

Benefits of Filon’s Enhanced Reinforcement Range

For applications where increased strength, load bearing, span and resistance to mechanical damage is required, FILON’s DR (double reinforced) profiled GRP rooflights with enhanced reinforcement are an ideal solution.

FILON Supasafe and DR rooflights are made using advanced glass reinforcement technologies and a precise manufacturing process, resulting in a lighter and thinner sheet with comparable impact resistance and load-bearing capabilities to heavier standard production sheets. This thinner sheet allows for more accurate profile definition, enabling better sealing between side and end laps in rooflights and roof sheets.
