A Hybrid product derived from Topglass® GC Ultrasafe with the additional feature of Solid Colours used to manufacture Topclad® GC. Topclad® GC Ultrasafe can be installed in most highly corrosive industrial sites and areas where there is a danger to foot traffic on the roof. Due to these concerns Alsynite One NZ developed the heavy duty, high impact roof system to alleviate concerns of walking on Fibreglass structured roofing.

Topclad® GC Ultra-Safe utilises the same heavy duty, woven roving reinforcing system as Topglass® GC Ultrasafe with the additional features of a solid colour pigment added to the Gel-Coat layer to Formulate a corrosive resistant cladding system for use as an innovative replacement for traditional materials.
