How does the Ampelite FS FireCheck© work?
The FS FireCheck comprises an intumescent impregnated glass tissue which is manufactured within the Ampelite sheeting. The chemicals are halogen free meaning they are non toxic. The simplicity of the approach to using the tissue and locating it at the surface of the sheet results in no loss of strength or stiffness within the composite section.
On exposure to flame or radiant heat the FS FireCheck will form a carbon char. This char will not support a flame or burning and will insulate against any heat source. Therefore flame spread and smoke development become non-existent
Traditional methods of fire retardant roofing products include the addition of chemicals, especially Bromine. This chemical is toxic when burnt and degrades the integrity of the fibreglass when exposed to the sun or UV light. FS FireCheck is completely free from Bromine fire retardant chemical, and surpasses any previous fibreglass sheeting fire retardant category. FS FireCheck is now in it’s own class of fire proofing protection.
Ampelite, Australia’s most experienced and largest manufacturer of fibreglass roofing now includes FS FireCheck as an optional benefit to all our fibreglass products.

The following benefits are in addition to any rights conveyed by Government regulations and the Trade Practices Act.
Ampelite Australia Pty Ltd warrant ‘Wonderglas GC’ glass reinforced polyester sheeting over:
(A) a period of 25 years (pro-rata cover) for the following:
1. The product will not allow water penetration through the actual sheet.
2. The product will not de-laminate or allow protrusion of reinforcing fibres trough the sheet surface.
(B) a period of 10 years (pro-rata cover) for the following:
1. Remain structurally sound and shatter resistant under normal conditions. This includes fracturing of sheet by hailstones up to 20 mm in diameter accompanied by winds up to 100 km/hr
2. Excessive yellowing of sheets leading to loss of light transmission exceeding 10% of the original light value.
Warranty conditions:
(a) The product must be installed strictly in accordance with AS1562.3:2006 Design and installation of sheet roofing and wall cladding Part 3: Plastic, and with the Manufacturer’s recommendations and specifications which are available from the Ampelite offices
(b) The product must not be affected by failure to remove debris, or failure to keep the surface clean or to provide free drainage of water from the product’s surfaces.
(c) The sheet shall not be directly exposed to the range of chemicals known to cause deterioration of polyester materials.
(d) Sheet failure or damage due to vandalism, fire or natural disasters, improper storage or installation is not covered.
Replacement or refinishing
From the date of installations during the applicable warranty period, Ampelite Australia Pty. Ltd. will, upon verification and acceptance of a claim supply a replacement panel at a cost to the user calculated as follows: 1/300th warranted for 25 years for each month of service obtained prior to the submission of the claim, or refinish the defective panel to restore minimum surface integrity.
