General Recommendations for Working with SUNLITE® Sheets
Cleaning
1. Keeping SUNLITE clean will yield the best long-term results. Self-cleaning by rain is usually sufficient.
Local small areas may be washed using diluted mild household detergents. Make sure the detergent
contains no abrasives or solvents. Pre-wash with warm water, then wash the stained area with a soft
sponge or brush, preferably with hot water, until the stain disappears. Rinse with water and dry with a
soft cloth.
2. Heavy oil or tar stains can be removed with an isopropyl alcohol watery solution. Rub the area gently
with a soft rag. Follow with the treatment depicted above, rinsing with a lot of water.
3. Avoid dry cleaning, as the sand and dust particles clinging to the exterior of the glazing may scratch the surface.
4. Large areas may be professionally washed by high-pressure water jet, possibly adding a mild compatible detergent, and/or a steam
jet.
5. Avoid the repeated sliding of sheets over each other, even when still
protected by the masking film. This action generates electrostatic charge in
the sheet, attracting dirt and dust and hindering cleaning.
Safety Measures During Installation and Maintenance
1. When installing SUNLITE or doing maintenance work, always consider the sheet to be unfit
to support a person’s weight. Always use stepping ladders or crawling boards, supported by
the roof structural elements, when working on a glazed roof of any kind.
2. Never step on SUNLITE sheet between the purlins or in the middle of a framed glazing! In
emergency, step only on the lines of purlins or of structural framing.
3. Never leave the glazing sheets unattended on the roof or at the glazing area, until all
the required fastening clamps or screws are secured properly. Throughout the installation
process, always ensure that the sheets ready for installation are temporarily secured against
sudden wind gusts.
