POLYXPAND™ – CREST FIXING PLASTIC SKYLIGHT FASTENERS
POLYXPAND™ skylight fixing fasteners are designed to create a much-required thermal expansion hole on plastic roofing materials and then securely fastened onto the purlin underneath in one-go.
Owing to the wings on the drilling tip, a 10mm diameter thermal expansion hole is created during the process, which then snaps off immediately upon coming in contact with steel.
A large domed BAZ washer completes the package, covering the expansion hole while providing superior strength against high winds.
POLYXPAND™ Crest Fixing Fasteners can be used on all kinds of plastic glazing material and especially effective when used as corrugated roof screws, with its length designed to accommodate the crest height of our ROMA and GRECA profiles.
*Note that because water, along with other liquids flows to the lowest point, PolyXpand fasteners have to be fixed at the crest on roofing sheets.
