Factorylite
Installation Methodology
Handeling and Storage
Store undercover, and in dry conditions. Handle with care, especially on the edges and corners,
which can be damaged if subject to sharp impact. Do not apply excessive pressure, for example by
standing or sitting on the product, as permanent damage may be caused.
NB: Factorylite should not be installed in applications where the facing material is exposed to direct
or indirect Ultraviolet radiation..
Step 1:
- Install straining wires at 300mm
centres. Avoid over tensioning of
straining wires to facilitate
insulation thickness recovery
between purlins. - Using the G-clamp affix Factorylite
roll at the apex. - Unroll the blanket over top of
straining wires taking out any slack..
Step 2:
- Using the G-clamp affix Factorylite
roll at the bottom purlin.
Step 3:
- To join the blankets fold-up the
overlapping facing edges and
staple. Fold the facing over and
staple again
Step 4:
- Fix the roof sheeting to the purlins
through the Factorylite
- Once Factorylite is fixed in position,
replace G-Clamps by fixing hoop
iron to top and bottom purlins to
hold Factorylite in position.
Note: For insulation of 75mm, 100mm
and 135mm thick insulation, spacer
blocks should be installed on top of
purlin to allow for insulation recovery to
nominal thickness. Please consult roof
system manufacturer for spacer detail.
Step 5:
- The spacers allow Factorylite to
“pillow out” between the purlins.
