Grillodur^® Special Constructions

Grillodur^® is characterised by its light weight, excellent thermal performance and mechanical strength. The system provides glare- and shadow-free lighting that ensures optimum illumination at all times. 

• Versatile design options that enable several choices of rooflight shapes and geometry
• Light-weight construction is an economic alternative to glass rooflights and therefore particularly suitable for refurbishment projects
• Corresponding flap system and opening devices that can be used to provide daily comfort ventilation as well as effective smoke and heat exhaust
• The approved fall-through safe material combined with an additional fall-through protection system for flap openings, provide maximum safety during assembly, installation and maintenance work on the roof 
• A selection of accessories such as adjustable upstand solutions, additional protection systems and intelligent building management systems facilitate individual configuration requirements 

Our engineering department will assist you with developing the perfectly suitable Grillodur^® rooflight solution for your project.

Grillodur^® is a composite panel comprised of at least two semi-transparent fibreglass sheets with a spun glass insulation core. The fibreglass sheets adhere to a self-bearing aluminium frame system on the exterior and interior side.

Unit size and shape, as well as glazing slopes, are designed and developed in conjunction with our engineering department to suit your project needs.

Panel construction

1) Aluminium profile   2) Fibre glass sheet
3) Spun glass insulation

Different combinations of glazing colour, fibreglass sheet thickness and density of the spun glass insulation core can deliver a wide range of daylighting and thermal performance.

Panel parameters:

• Glazing types: 2-, 3- and 4-skinned structures
• Four standard colours: natural, blue, white and grey translucent
• Fibreglass sheet thicknesses: 1.1 to 2.0 mm

Performance (depending on panel composition):

• U-value of the glazing: as low as 0.8 W/m²K 
• Total energy transmission: up to 21%
• Light transmission: 76% to 13%
• Airborne sound insulation: up to 36 dB

Grillodur glazing type

• Lightweight, energy efficient Grillodur® system is ideal for refurbishment projects, having a low dead-weight of 10 kg/m².
• Prefabricated elements contribute to fast and efficient installation.
• Fall-through safe in accordance with GS BAU 18.
• Snow load: panels can bear up to 2.5 KN/m² (depending on panel construction).
• Chemical resistance: high resistance to kerosene, coolants, lubricants, acids, alkaline solutions and others.
• Highest classification of ball impact safety according to DIN 18032-3 => ideal for sports facilities 
• German National Technical Approval (AbZ Z-10.1-415).
• Meltable and can therefore be calculated as a heat exhaust surface in accordance with DIN 18230.
• Smoke and heat exhaust ventilation, tested according to DIN EN 12101-2, can be integrated with the panels.

Equipped with a corresponding flap system and various available opening devices, the Grillodur^® rooflights can be used to provide effective smoke and heat exhaust as well as daily comfort ventilation.

• A range of rooflight flap types and sizes, providing the right fit and performance for every project.
• Certified SHEV systems tested according to DIN EN 12101-2, offering the highest level of fire protection.
• Smartcontrol is an optional intelligent building managment system for the comfortable and safe control of all SHEV and comfort ventilation systems.
