Bondor®’s Naturelite® skylight system is designed for exclusive use with Solaris® Ridgepanel & Bondor® SolarSpan® insulated patio roofing to increase natural light into outdoor living areas. The Naturelite® skylight roof and ceiling panels are developed to the SolarSpan®’s roof and ceiling profile specification. Made from high impact and UV stabilized material, the skylight Strip is proven for use with outdoor patio applications in Australia. Naturelite® skylights deliver a smart and modern lighting solution.

 

Components

Naturelite® roof panel capture and diffuse more sunlight due to its pitched roof design between SolarSpan® roof ribs and deliver a weather resistant, low maintenance and self-cleaning translucent roof panel that doesn’t collect water or debris. Naturelite® diffuser ceiling panel slide into position flush with SolarSpan®’s smooth ceiling underside, interlocking without the need for fixings, brackets, metal channels or cover flashings. In addition, led strip lighting can be adhered to the ceiling diffuser for added lighting and atmosphere to outdoor areas.

 

Design Notes

-SolarSpan steel roof panels are serviceable up to 140kg/m2 of live load however, Naturelite® skylight panels are non-trafficable and stepping on or near skylight panels must be avoided. 


-Naturelite® skylight panels should be used in open outdoor shade applications in non-cyclonic regions only. Skylights are not for house or commercial roofing purposes. 


-Installation of Naturelite® skylights should be between two Ridge® or Solarspan® panels on either side. 


-SolarSpan® maximum spans may need to be reduced to compensate for the addition of a Naturelite® skylight. Please refer Bondor®’s SolarSpan® Patio Engineering guide for further information. 


 

SolorSpan® Naturelite® Skylight Installation Instructions

Caution: Metal roofing edges can be sharp; cut resistant gloves, appropriate clothes and shoes, safety glasses and other appropriate PPE should be worn at all time during the installation.

 

Installation Steps PLEASE NOTE INSTALLATION MUST BE FOLLOWED AS NEEDS AT LEAST 2 TO 3 PEOPLE

  • Install and fix into position the SolarSpan® insulated roof panels in direction of the roof overlap, except for the panel before the Naturelite® skylight. (Fig. 1) 

  • Prepare the next SolarSpan® insulated roof panel by cutting all but 10mm off the roof overlap edge using metal nibblers. (Fig. 2) 

  • Put the next adjoining roof panel in place with a gap of 200mm from the last SolarSpan® roof panel. (Fig. 3) 

  • Insert and slide the Naturelite® ceiling diffuser panel into position between the two SolarSpan® panels selected, adjusting the last roof panel as needed then 
tack down into position. (Fig. 4) 

  • Check the Naturelite® and SolarSpan® ceiling underside is flush and level. (Fig. 5) The ceiling sheet now forms a spacer for fitting the Naturelite® skylight roof 
panel. 

  • Insert the leading edge of the Naturelite® skylight roof panel clip over the roof overlap and then slide into position. (Fig. 6) Note, any rough edges may 
obstruct sliding of panels. Ensure the non-clip side sits flush on top of the adjoining SolarSpan® roof rib. 

  • Predrill oversized holes on the non-clip side of the Naturelite® skylight roof panels every 1.0m through the top of the underlap rib or side. Install 10g or 12g 
fasteners at 1.0m intervals across the underlap side of the roof. (Fig. 7) 

  • Predrill oversized holes (8-9mm) on the non-clip side of the Naturelite® skylight roof panels to suit 14g roof fasteners, in preparation for fastening the roof 
panel to the supporting beam. (Fig. 8 & Fig. 9) No fasteners are required on the clip side. 

  • Brush metal swarf and debris clean off the roof at the end of project. 

  • Insert optional profile cut skylight stop end above fascia flashing below the SolarSpan® Naturelite® skylight roof profile for added protection of any open 
voids (ask your SolarSpan® representative for more information, limited colour options available).
