1. What are fiberglass skylight roofing sheets?

Fiberglass skylight roofing sheets are a transparent or translucent composite material made from fiberglass mixed with polyester resin. They are similar in weight and transparency to PVC roofing. However, due to the added resin, fiberglass skylight roofing sheets offer greater corrosion resistance than PVC roofing.

2. Key Performance Indicators/Advantages

Compared to PVC, fiberglass skylight roofing sheets offer the following advantages:

▪ Higher light transmittance

▪ Lighter weight

▪ Higher corrosion resistance

▪ Better impact resistance

In terms of load-bearing capacity, fiberglass skylight roofing sheets do not have the same advantages as wood or metal roofing. The tensile strength of fiberglass skylight roofing sheets ranges from 1.5 MPa to 55 MPa, depending on the ratio of glass fiber to resin. PVC roofing has a tensile strength of approximately 50 MPa at room temperature.

▪ Residential/Sheltered Outdoor Spaces: Porch roofs, terrace/balcony covers, carports/sheds.

▪ Agriculture: Farm fencing, livestock sheds, tool sheds, nurseries, and more.

▪ Public Facilities: Commercial corridors/awnings/entrance canopies/public bus shelters/parking sheds.

▪ Decorative Applications: Walls, wainscots, or siding.

5. Regarding the color of fiberglass skylight roofing sheets: Fiberglass skylight roofingsheets will gradually turn yellow over time due to oxidation caused by sunlight. To address this, purchase blue or yellow roofing sheets.
