POLYGLASS TRANSLUCENT FIBERGLASS SHEETS
     
 
In modern architecture, distributing day light even in to the last corner of the shed is a big problem. At normal condition when sheds, godowns, are covered with G.I. sheets or A/C sheets, the inside becomes so dark that a large sum of money has to be spent on artificial lights. So the best solution for all these problems are the Polyglass Translucent Fiberglass sheets which gives more than 80% of day light inside the factory and godowns.
  
     
 
As per international code of practice fiberglass translucent sheets are specially recommended for use in godowns and factory sheds for natural day lighting. Polyglass Translucent Fiberglass sheets are the best solution.
  
     
 
Polyglass sheets are decorative & good looking and can be used for different purposes e.g. north glazing, window panes and partitions.
  
     
 
Polyglass sheers are so convenient to handle, it can be cut, nailed and screwed just like any ordinary hard boards. No special framing or flushing is needed and they can be fixed by skilled workers. The light weight of Polyglass sheets makes it much more convenient for transporting and handling. Polyglass plain sheets can also be used in the office for different purposes. It can be used as a base for wheel chairs for easy movement on the carpet.
  
     
 
Generally, Polyglass sheets are self-cleaning but it can be cleaned with soap and water when required, using a soft brush. But at the industrial place, where greasy and tarry deposits could be formed, Polyglass sheets should be cleaned at regular intervals to maintain the normal day light.
  
     
ADVANTAGE OF POLYGLASS TRANSLUCENT SHEETS
     
  Light Transmission  
     
  Polyglass sheet is translucent so more than 80 % of diffused light pass through without glare.  
     
  High Strength  
     
  Polyglass sheets are normally unbreakable. Dropping a brick or hammering on it makes it safe and causes no damage.  
     
  Weather  
     
  Under Nepalese weather conditions, Polyglass Sheets will not crack, wrap or rust even after several years of continuous use. It can tolerate temperature up to 120ºc  
     
  Prone to Acid and Alkalies  
     
  Most of the acids, alkalies and industrial fumes will not affect Polyglass. And there will not be any growth of fungus on Polyglass Sheets.  
     
  Fire  
     
  Polyglass sheets are normally untouchable by fire and can work as a barrier to flame break through.  
     
  Cost Effective  
     
  Since no artificial lighting are required during the day time, a large amount of money is saved. In some cases, a year of electricity cost pays off the installation charge.  
   
     
SHAPE AND SIZE DIMENSION
 

Polyglass sheets are available in two corrugations in standard with and in lengths as under.
