FASTENING ‘SYSTEMS. TENN Rooflight Fasteners Rooflights bring natural daylight into the interiors of industrial, ‘Gommercial, recreational and agricultural buildings. The most Icommion rooflights used with profiled root sheeting are ‘fanslucent sheets made to the same profile shape as, the metal or fibre cement sheets. f Materials for rootlights fall into two categories - thermosetting plastics (GRP or glass-reinforcea polyester) and thermoplastics (acrylic, polycarbonate and PVC). Plastics have large coefficients of thermal expansion, 7 meaning they expand with arise in temperature and contract with a decrease in temperature and that the Tate of expansion/contraction is much greater than that odourring in steel. The dimension changes take » place in all directions. Expansion/contraction movement aoross the width of the sheets is absorbed by the “accordion” effect given by the sheet ‘corrugations, but movement along the length Fequires special attention The fale of longitudinal expansion of GRP, per °C Of temperature change, is twice that of stecl, or about the same as aluminium. The thermoplastics ea se @xpand to a far greater extent ~ three times more than aluminium and six times more than steel sos All plastic raofight sheets require oversized holes as i ‘round the sheet-to-structure fasteners to allow ithe sheets to move freely. These holes can be made either by pre-driling, or using specially designed self- drilling screws with large wings on their shanks.
