Clearslide GC® – Patented fibreglass sheet and strip-clip system
Faster, easier installation with ClearSlide GC unique profile fibreglass sheet clip system.
ClearSlide GC® allows the combination of metal roll form decking and fibreglass skylighting over long lengths. The ClearSlide GC® roof is watertight and aesthetically pleasing.
Expansion and contraction of the metal decking and fibreglass are independent of each other as the ClearSlide GC® clip system “floats” the fibreglass above the steel deck. The metal decking is not pierced at the side ribs. Ampelite ClearSlide GC® decking is a special purpose variation of Wonderglas GC® sheeting with all its superior features. The ClearSlide GC® fibreglass profile will match all existing 700 Decking profiles. Due to the unique shape of the ClearSlide GC® profile, end lapping onto metal decking is not achievable. Designers need to specify ClearSlide GC® for complete roof runs from ridge to gutter.
Faster, Easier Installation with Clearslide GC®
Designed for Thermal Movement
The unique sliding saddle system allows the fibreglass sheet to expand and contract independently of the metal roof, reducing stress and preventing potential damage over time.
Faster, Simpler Installation
No pre-drilling or oversizing of holes is required. A pilot hole in the ridge ensures accurate screw placement and prevents slippage, saving time and improving safety during installation.
Structural Strength & Span Efficiency
Full support from the clip and reinforced profile ribs allow for greater spanning capacity, meaning fewer purlins are needed—resulting in material and labour cost savings.
Ideal for Long Sheet Lengths
ClearSlide is completely independent from the metal deck, allowing for extra-long sheet lengths. This eliminates unsightly end lap joints and reduces the risk of water ingress.
Enhanced Safety Without Mesh
The support clip protects the sheet from point loads above safety mesh, and with the option to manufacture in Webglas, the system can meet safety requirements without additional mesh.
Premium Fibreglass Performance
Made from high-grade Wonderglas GC, ClearSlide offers a superior gel-coated surface that extends product life by over 300% compared to standard fibreglass, while matching all 700mm deck profiles.
