Performance & Warranty
Product Performance  
Shading Co-efficient Ratio (SC) Light Transmission (LT)
Warmest
Coolest
Shading Co-efficient (SC): A ratio of the warming effect of the sun’s rays through a sheet divided by the sun’s warming effect through 3mm float glass (300-2500nm). The lower the figure the cooler it is under the sheet.
 
Light Transmission (LT): % of visible light transmission (400 - 700nm) that passes through the sheet. The lower the figure the less light passes through the sheet.
Performance Warranty
Warranty Laserlite® Apollo is backed by a lifetime warranty against loss of light transmission for domestic applications and a 10-year warranty against breakage caused by hailstones up to 25mm in diameter. For full warranty conditions, click here.

  Wind Load

Laserlite® Polycarbonate Roofing is suitable for use in high wind load areas. Roma, Greca and Trimdek profiles meet the requirements of AS 1170.2.2002 SAA Loading code Part 2 – Wind Loads.

The tests have been conducted according to AS4040.2 -1992 conditions (methods of testing sheet roof and wall cladding, method 2: resistance to wind pressures for non-cyclone regions, which references AS1562.1-1992). The table below summarises the test results obtained. The estimates of ultimate loads, which are based on the assumption that ultimate loads are reached when the maximum principal stress reach the ultimate stress of the polycarbonate sheet (60 Mpa), are included in the table. Plots of the maximum principal stress v’s load for each of the profiles tested follow the table.
