FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards after the draft finalized by Flooring,
Wall Finishing and Rooting Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
For providing structural surfaces exposed to weather, such as roofs of industrial, institutional, commercial,
recreational and residential buildings as well as for providing daylight; plastic translucent sheets made from
thermosetting polyester resin (glass fibre reinforced) are laid either fully or partially (where the roofs are laid
using asbestos cement/steel/aluminium) in chequerboard or cover to ridge layouts in conjunction with asbestos
cement sheets/steel/aluminium sheets.
This code covers recommendations for laying plastic translucent sheets made from thermosetting polyester
resin (glass fibre reinforced) conforming to IS 12866 either fully or partially in chequered or caves to ridge
layouts in conjunctions with reinforced corrugated asbestos cement sheets conforming to IS 459, corrugated
galvanized steel sheets conforming to IS 277 or corrugated aluminium sheets conforming to IS 1254.
The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given at Annex B.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2:1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places retained in
the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

6.1.6 Laps
The plastic translucent
sheets made from
thermosetting polyester resin (glass fibre reinforced)
while laid fully, shall be with a side lap of one
corrugation (see Fig. 1 and 2). Side laps of plastic
translucent sheets made from thermosetting polyester
resin (glass fibre reinforced) when laid in conjunction
with asbestos cement/steel/aluminium
sheets in
chequerboard or eaves to ridge layouts, shall be
governed by the respective code of practice for laying
asbestos cement/steeUaluminium sheets. When plastic
translucent sheets made from thermosetting polyester
resin (glass ftbre reinforced) are laid either fully or in
conjunction with asbestos cement/steel/al uminium
sheets on roof pitches above 10, the side laps shall be
stitch (seam) bolted at certtres not exceeding 400 mm
while on roof pitches below 10, the centres shall be
reduced to 300 mm, For normal roof pitches (that is,

Plastic translucent
sheets made from
7.1.1
thermosetting polyester resin (glass fibre reinforced)
shall be cut as necessary with a hacksaw with 6/8 teeth
per centimeter. Best results are obtained if saw is held
at a shallow oblique angle. When cutting with power
tools, a 40/60 grit diamond blade operating at medium
speed (280 surface m/min) shall be used. Sheets shall
be notched using standard metal working snips. Holes
in the sheets shall be drilled with standard metal bits.
Holes shall not be punched. On sinusoidal profiles,
holes shall always be drilled through the crown of the
corrugation and not on the valley.
7.1.2 While plastic translucent sheets made from
thermosetting polyester resin (glass tibre reinforced)
are laid either fully or in conjunction with asbestos
cement/steel/aluminium sheets in chequerboard or
eaves to ridge layouts, for end laps, holes in the plastic
translucent sheets made from thermosetting polyester
resin (glass fibre reinforced) shall be drilled at a
distance not less than 100 mm from the edge to suit
the purlins, that is, on the centre line of the purlins if
these are of timber and square head coach screws are
