2 Daylighting with Plasteco Skylights Daylight from skylights is free and is our coolest source of illumination, offering more light per unit of heat than any other source and providing about three times the amount of daylight as windows. Daylighting provided by skylights does not require the consumption of fuels and does not pollute the atmosphere. Skylights provide more lumens per BTU than artificial lighting. For the same lighting level, solar heat gain through dome skylights is one-eighth of incandescent lighting and one-half of florescent lighting. A major improvement for daylighting of large areas such as warehouses, large retail and manufacturing facilities is Plasteco s Joist Rider Curb and ASTM Tested Model 397 Thermalized Skylight. The installation of the Joist Rider Curb provides immediate FALL PROTECTION and eliminates several steps and crafts required to install a conventional integral curb and curb mounting skylights. Plasteco s Model 397 Joist Rider and ASTM Tested Thermalized Skylight is designed so that two sides of the skylight are supported directly on the bar joists. This design eliminates the need for a saddle and the creation of a skylight well, which is how nominal 4' x 8' skylights must be installed. A saddle also requires an additional buildup around the saddle to bring the level of the roof flange up to the level of the insulation. The Joist Rider Model 397 also features a built-in Fall Protection Security Grill. The Joist Rider Model 397 has been tested and meets the following: ASTM E283, ASTM E330 and ASTM E331. A more watertight installation results due to roofing materials being automatically flashed by the specially designed skylight. Daylighting with Unit Skylights When daylighting using unit skylights, the best results are obtained with glazing that diffuses the transmitted light while lowering the solar energy tranmitted through the glazing. Clear or tinted transparent glazing with smooth surfaces, regardless of the glazing material, does not diffuse the transmitted daylight. White transluscent acrylic domes diffuse transmitted daylight while reducing the transmitted solar energy. This has been proven for over 40 years.

The outer glass can be either clear or bronze while the inner glass is laminated safety glass. Plasteco should be consulted early in the planning stages to determine whether we can meet your design requirements with insulated glass. Aluminum Frame Finishes Anodic finishes are available in clear (natural) or integral color coatings of light, medium or dark bronze. Typical trade names for integral color coatings are Duranodic and Kalcolor. Color matching is sometimes difficult with these finishes. Paint finishes are available in a wide range of colors. Select either bakedon powder coat paint or fluoropolymer finish. Mill Finish is standard and will be furnished by Plasteco unless another finish is specified. Technical assistance Plasteco offers technical assistance on all its products. Consultation is especially advisable when planning custom or structural skylights. Plasteco reserves the right to make design improvements without notice. Responsibility Plasteco is responsible for furnishing skylight to fit specified outside curb dimensions or roof opening dimensions. It is the responsibility of others, however, to assure the integrity, strength and dimensional accuracy of the supporting structure factors which are essential to a successful installation. General Information CONDENSATION: Since acrylic domes cannot be hermetically sealed, condensation may form between domes. In most instances, the condensation is temporary. NOISE: In some installations a popping noise may be heard. For example, when a passing cloud covers a tinted dome which was in direct sunlight the dome may suddenly contract. DESIGN: Plasteco, Inc. reserves the right to make design changes without notice. Any design changes will be presented on approval drawings. SAFETY: Plasteco, Inc. skylights are not designed to support body weight. Further information on Fall Guard Skylight Screens fall protection is available in this brochure.

Winter nighttime U-values are calculated assuming an outdoor temperature of 0 F, an indoor temperature of 70, and a wind velocity of 15 mph. 2 Shading coefficient compares the total solar heat gain through any other glazing with that through a single pane of 1/8" glass which has a shading coefficient of 1. 3 Visible light transmission indicates the percentage of the visible spectrum that passes through the glazing. 4 UV (ultraviolet) transmission is given because the sun s shortwave UV energy fades fabrics. 3

4 The Model 397 Thermalized Skylight Tested to ASTM E283 (Air Infiltration), E (Negative Load), E (Positive Load) and E (Water Penetration) Designed to Fit 5', 5'6", 6' & 6'6" Joist Spacing The Joist Rider Curb and ASTM Tested Model 397 Thermalized Skylight is a straight forward approach to the construction and installation of daylighting of large areas such as warehouses, large retail and manufacturing facilities. The installation of a nominal 4' a 8' integral curb or curb mounted skylights requires numerous trades for completion of the skylight installation. A saddle must be designed, fabricated and installed on the bar joists. From the saddle a well usually constructed of wood, must be constructed to the level of the finished roof (for integral curb skylight) or a skylight curb constructed to the specified height for installation of the curb mounting skylight. The roofer depends on a 3" (4") flange for installing the skylight to a wood nailer. There is no Fall Protection provided unless the open hole is covered or a railing constructed around each skylight opening. The Plasteco Joist Rider Curb is installed on the bar joists (no saddle required). As soon as the Joist Rider Curb is installed, Fall Protection is provided by the security grill in the Joist Rider Curb. The roof decking, insulation and roofing material is installed after the Joist Rider Curb is properly installed by the roofer. Afterward, the Model 397 Thermalized skylight is installed, automatically flashing the roofing material and creating a seal impervious to water. Specifications for Joist Rider Curb: Joist Rider curbs shall be Model JR-6096 (or 7296; 7896) as manufactured by Plasteco, Inc., houston, TX ( ; toll free fax ). The curbs shall be 14" high and formed of 16 gauge steel. The interior of the curb shall be painted white. The curb shall have a treated 2 x 4" wood nailer and 1-1/2" thick insulation.

8 Continuous Vaulted Skylights Now Available New Thermal Break Design Plasteco s Continuous Vaulted Skylight Model 300 (single glazed) and Model 301 (double glazed) are available in widths ranging from 2'-6" ft. to 7 ft. with unlimited length. They are composed of pre-assembled half dome or vertical ends and intermediate sections which are shipped K-D. The intermediate sections consist of flat acrylic, monolithic polycarbonate, or structured sheet polycarbonate sheets cold formed over pre-formed aluminum arches. The curb frame comes with a self-adjusting counter-flashing to reduce the amount of air infiltration (or exfiltration) that occurs between the top of the curb and the skylight curb frame. These skylights are light in weight and provide an economical solution to daylighting of relatively large rectangular areas. Since the skylight opening is rectangular the construction of the structural framing, curbs, roofing, flashing and the interior finish is simplified resulting in a lower completed cost. Although the skylights are normally furnished K-D (except for the ends), Plasteco has shipped pre-assembled 20 ft. sections. The pre-assembled 20 ft. sections have special designed ends than can be mulled together with a special EPDM gasket. Projects consisting of 20,000 ft. have been installed using the 20 ft. pre-assembled sections. Since skylights are not designed to support body weight, some method of fall protection should be provided.

14 OSHA Regulation The Occupational Safety and Health Act makes each employer responsible for furnishing employees a place of employment which (is) free from recognized Hazards. 29 CFR Guarding Floor and Wall Openings and Holes (a)(4) Every skylight floor opening and hole shall be guarded by a standard skylight screen or a fixed standard railing on all exposed sides. (e)(8) Skylight screens shall be of such construction and mounting that they are capable of withstanding a load of 200 pounds applied perpendicular at any one area of the screen. They shall also be of such construction and mounting that under ordinary loads or impact, they will not deflect downward sufficiently to break the glass below them. The construction shall be of grillwork with openings not more than 4 inches long or slatwork with openings not more than 2 inches wide with length unrestricted. 29 CFR Duty to Have Fall Protection (a) General. (1) This section sets forth requirements for employers to provide fall protection systems. All fall protection required by this section shall conform to the criteria set forth in of this subpart. (a)(2) The employer shall determine if the walking/working surfaces on which its employees are to work have the strength and structural integrity to support employees safely. Employees shall be allowed to work on those surfaces only when the surfaces have the requisite strength and structural integrity. (b)(4) Holes (i) Each employee on walking/working surfaces shall be protected from falling through holes (including skylights) more than 6 feet (1.8m) above lower levels, by personal fall arrest systems, covers, or guardrail systems erected around such holes. (ii) Each employee on a walking/working surface shall be protected from tripping in or stepping into or through holes (including skylights) by covers. (iii) Each employee on a walking/working surface shall be protected from objects falling through holes (including skylights) by covers. Model A-SM1 FALLGUARD Skylight Screens The Model A FALLGUARD Skylight Screen was introduced in 1992 and was the original skylight screen available to be retrofitted onto existing acrylic dome skylights. Acrylic dome skylights came on the market around 1959, and it is not uncommon for them to have been in service for thirty or more years. Naturally, with continuous 24/7 exposure to heat, cold, rain, snow and poor air quality, they lose most of their original impact strength over time. Although they still function in providing maintenance-free daylight, they represent a serious recognized safety hazard. Many thousands of Model A-SM1 FALLGUARD Skylight Screens have been installed on manufacturing, warehouses, retail area, schools throughout the United States, Mexico and Puerto Rico. Fortunately, there is no way of knowing how many serious injuries and fatalities Model A-SM1 Impact Test available upon request. Patent No. 5,237,788 have been prevented by the installation of FALLGUARD Skylight Screens. Installation of FALLGUARD Skylight Screens is a pro-active, one-time fix to the hazards of falls through unguarded acrylic dome skylights. When you consider the cost of just the investigation of a serious injury or fatality, the cost of FALLGUARD Skylight Screens is miniscule. Model A-SM1 FALLGUARD Skylight Screen The Model A-SM1 FALLGUARD Skylight Screen rails are mechanically fastened using galvanized steel hex head self-drilling screws. The FALLGUARD rail is designed so that, after the FALLGUARD Skylight Screen is installed, a 1/2" high by 2" long scupper is formed at each notch. These scuppers and the 1/2" continuous opening created when the FALLGUARD Skylight Screen is longer than the FALLGUARD rail help in preventing accumulation of debris along the FALLGUARD rail and Skylight Screen. 14

15 Model F FALLGUARD Skylight Screens The Model F FALLGUARD Skylight Screens PREVENTS falls through corrugated fiberglass (CF) skylights. They are simple to install and will prove to be cost effective in view of the exposure in time and dollars expended as a result of a fall through a CF skylight. Being at the same level and having the same profile as the corrugated metal roof panels, they are at times difficult to detect by persons on the roof. Patent No. 5,419,090 Installation Instructions: Do not place body weight on skylight during installation. Use extreme caution when installing the FALLGUARD Skylight Screens. Wear gloves when handling skylight screens. 1. The FALLGUARD Skylight Screen channel is to be mounted on the highest corrugation nearest to the center of the skylight. 2. On the high end, the fiberglass skylight should be under the corrugated metal. Clean and install the 3' x 3' adhesive/sealant pads on the corrugated metal approximately 1" from the edge. Be sure to remove the release liner from the adhesive/sealant pads. 3. Position the FALLGUARD channel so that the three mounting holes in the channel are positioned over the 3" x 3" adhesive pads. 4. Fasten the high end of the FALLGUARD channel to the corrugated metal using the self-drilling screws. 5. Proceed to lower end of the FALLGUARD channel. Clean area under the three holes in the channel and install the 3" x 3" adhesive/sealant pads. Fasten the lower end of the FALLGUARD channel to the corrugated metal. 6. Center the FALLGUARD Skylight Screen over skylight and insert the FALLGUARD Skylight Screen under the tabs. Bend tabs over the FALLGUARD Skylight Screen. Specifications: Skylight Screens shall be Model F FALLGUARD Skylight Screens manufactured by Plasteco, Inc., Houston, Texas ( ) (Fax ). Each skylight screen shall consist of a 3" x 4" welded wire mesh having a minimum transverse diameter of.195". A plastic bumper extrusion shall be installed around the perimeter of the skylight screen. The skylight screen is to be field installed on a 20 gauge galvanized steel channel. The steel channel shall have tabs to receive the skylight screens and pre-punched holes for the mounting screens. Two 3" x 3" sealant adhesive pads and six hex washer head self-drilling screws shall be furnished with each channel. Model TSSR FALLGUARD Skylight Screens Model TSSR FALLGUARD Skylight Screens PREVENT falls through trapezoidal standing seam skylights. These skylights are similar to the regular corrugated fiberglass skylights in that they are at the same level as the roof and have the same profile. They can be easily overlooked when a person is working or walking on the roof. The FALLGUARD Skylight Screens are easy to install and allow for a proactive rather than reactive solution to a safety hazard. They like other FALLGUARD Skylight Screen models will prove to be more than cost effective considering the alternative of a fall through a skylight. Patent Pending 15
