Profiled foam fillers for sheeting & cladding applications
TECHNICAL BULLETIN - 151

Brett Martin Daylight Systems profiled foam fillers are the most efficient
and cost effective method of closing off inter-profile cavities at the ridge,
eaves and other intersections of corrugated cladding. They prevent
ingress of rain, snow, wind driven debris and vermin, and assist with air
tightness in some applications.
The ‘NFRC Profiled Sheet Roofing and Cladding - A Guide to Good

Practise, 3rd edition’ details the use of profiled foam fillers as an effective
method for closing off inter-profile cavities.
Approved Document Part L2 introduces new air tightness requirements.

The correct specification and use of fillers and sealants is now more
important than ever, to meet air tightness requirements as well as
achieving good vapour control and weather tightness
FILLER TYPES

Large flute (l/f): typically for use at the ridge filling

ridge cap and corrugated roof sheet
Small flute (s/f): typically for use at the eaves filling

corrugated roof sheet and structure
