Translucent Panel

Nucor CFR Translucent Panels are factory assembled with the metal portion of the panel a polyester polar white color. The lighted part can be insulated or non-insulated. They are available for an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) rated roof system only with 5’-0” purlinjoist spacing, however panels are available to fit on 5’-6” or 6’-0” purlinjoist spacing. The UL rating is achieved by simply hand crimping the full length of the translucent panel. No extra framing or materials are required.
CFR translucent panels cannot be placed from end to end, eave to eave or at the eave of a building. Recommended distance from the low eave of a building to first translucent panel is 15’-0” (+-). They cannot be placed directly beside another translucent panel. When translucent panels are installed side by side there needs to be a minimum of four CFR panel runs between each unit and four full panels in from each endwall. Space the translucent panels so the full metal panels above, between and below are supported by a minimum of three roof secondary members, preferably four. Do not use the translucent panels as a construction platform. Whenever possible, it is recommended that wall translucent panels be used in lieu of roof translucent panels.
