Original Press Release:
Vega and Polaris 30 mm Thick Roofing Panel for Industrial Metal Roofing
Vega Panels are a high performance glazing material for use with metal industrial roofs and with metal roofing sandwich panels. Vega is a multi-wall polycarbonate cellular panel system that lets in the natural illumination with its great light transmission (52% in clear and 35% in Opal). Combine that natural light with a high insulation value of R- 3.57 (U value .28), for an ideal product to use in daylighting applications for industrial roofing. Lightweight (.741 lbs/sq ft) yet strong and tough Vega provides 100 times the impact strength of glass. The product is 30 mm thick and has an "extruded in" flange that will match up to most metal roof profiles for ease of installation.
Polaris is a similar panel to the Vega with the exception of a partial "extruded in" flange that can be matched up with a wider array of metal roofing profiles.
CO-EX Corporation manufactures a full line of polycarbonate sheet including Macrolux® multi-wall sheet, Rooflite® corrugated sheet, BDL® standing seam modular panels and Modulit vertical glazing systems.
