Star-Lite Series | Fire Retardant FRP Sheet
SPACE® Star-Lite Series is a premium fire-retardant fibreglass reinforced polyester (FRP) roofing and cladding sheet. Engineered with Epoxy Vinyl Ester resin, Star-Lite achieves BS 476 Part 7 Class 1 — the highest surface spread of flame classification — and is self-extinguishing when the flame source is removed. The preferred choice for public buildings, enclosed spaces, and high-occupancy facilities. Backed by an industry-leading 25-year performance warranty.
Fire Safety — Key Certification
BS 476 Part 7 Class 1 — The highest surface spread of flame classification under British Standard 476. Star-Lite is self-extinguishing when the flame source is removed, limiting fire spread and reducing smoke emission. This makes Star-Lite the preferred choice for enclosed spaces, public buildings, and high-occupancy industrial facilities where fire safety is paramount.
