New Brett Martin Filler trounces its rivals
Brett Martin Daylight Systems launch Supaseal, a new filler that shows outstanding performance, verified in a range of tests on all the important physical properties for profiled fillers.
This partitions the space within the rooflight and creates an additional heat barrier, providing outstanding insulation for minimal extra cost and, critically, it achieves this without reducing light transmission.
Alternatively, incorporating the New Cleartherm 2 insulating material within an Energysaver FAIR can deliver a U-value of 1.3W/m2K, with options as low as 0.9W/m2K.
Independent research by De Montfort University shows that installing Energysavers at areas up to 20% of the roof area ensures excellent lighting levels, reducing the need for use of artificial light - saving costs at the same time as optimising the internal environment for performance purposes whether it is factory floor workers or shoppers.
Energysaver rooflights incorporate a host of unique features designed to make installation simple, rapid and totally reliable, minimising any risk of remedial work being required.
These include the third-generation of unique, totally rigid Hardpak internal supports that allow fasteners to be fixed securely without flexing the sheet.
They allow fasteners to be correctly tightened while avoiding potential "dishing" that could result in water pooling, eliminating risk of leaks at fasteners.
Energysavers also now incorporate as standard the newly upgraded Underlap Strip - a single continuous length of fully profiled metal reinforcement to allow use of standard fasteners in the underlap side (eliminating the need for expanding rubber bolt fasteners).
Reinforcing end panels and advanced sealants make the Energysaver range particularly robust and easy to handle as well as quick to install, weathertight and long living.
In addition, all Energysavers are now supplied as standard in ECOpac packaging - simple and lightweight, minimising the use of packaging materials while providing robust protection during site handling and offering total protection from weather or dirt during storage.
The Universal Fair option is as robust and simple to fix as all other Energysavers, and includes a patented method of support for fasteners at any point along the length of the rooflight, eliminating the need for additional support at intermediate purlins - ideal for refurbishment projects where purlin positions can be difficult to ascertain.
Naturally, all Energysavers are non-fragile and can be tailored to meet specific requirements, achieving optimum levels in insulation, safety and fire ratings.
Delivered to site as a ready to install unit, they are equally suitable for refurbishment as they are for new-build. Request a free brochure from Brett Martin Daylight Systems ...
