What do you need from me to quote FRP roofing sheets?
Please tell us your roof sheet profile (send the profile name or a photo), the length of each sheet, the thickness, the colour, the quantity, what the roof is for, and the delivery location.
What is FRP roofing sheet?
FRP roofing sheet is a translucent fibreglass reinforced plastic sheet made from glass fibre and resin. It is used as a skylight panel or a full roof covering to let daylight into buildings. FRP, fiberglass and translucent fibreglass roofing sheet all mean the same product.
Who makes UniLite FRP roofing sheets?
UniLite translucent fibreglass roofing sheets are manufactured by Y.T. Fibreglass Industries Sdn Bhd in Port Klang, Selangor, and supplied by Mui Fatt Marketing Sdn Bhd.
Can UniLite match my existing metal roof sheet?
Yes. UniLite is made in many profiles, including 700, 700SP, 430, 750U, 750MR, 740 Windeck, 760, 760A, 1067 (Big 6) and 1015. Send us your roof sheet profile so we can match it.
Which thickness should I choose?
0.8 mm suits light agricultural use. 1.0 to 1.8 mm suits rainwater roofing, panels, sheds and cladding. 2.0 mm and above gives better strength for roofing.
Is FRP roofing sheet good for skylights in Malaysia?
Yes. It is light, does not rust and lets daylight through. UniLite sheets have a UV protective heat-seal film for strong Malaysian sun, and a SIRIM tested sample kept its surface intact after 1,000 hours of accelerated UV exposure.
How much light does UniLite let through?
A UniLite 1.5 mm Icy Blue sample sheet transmitted 62.6% of visible light when tested by SIRIM QAS International to ASTM D1003.
Is UniLite SIRIM tested?
Yes. UniLite samples were tested by SIRIM QAS International for tensile, flexural, impact and light transmittance properties, and for UV exposure. Full reports are available on request.
How heavy is an FRP roofing sheet?
A 1.5 mm UniLite sheet weighs 2,400 g/m2 and a 2.3 mm sheet weighs 3,660 g/m2. FRP is about one fifth the density of steel.
Is FRP better than polycarbonate roofing?
FRP expands much less with heat. A 12 m sheet heated from 0 to 40 degrees C expands about 9.1 mm in FRP compared with about 32.4 mm in polycarbonate, which helps fixings and laps stay tight. The right choice depends on the project.
Does FRP roofing rust?
No. FRP does not corrode, which suits coastal, chemical and humid sites where metal roofs rust. The isophthalic resin resists many dilute acids, alkalis and salts; confirm suitability for your actual chemicals.
Do you supply FRP roofing accessories?
Yes. Fiberglass gutters, ridge caps, capping and flashings are available to complete the roof, made to suit your roof sheet profile and gable length.
