Filon Products Background and History

Filon Products is a leading UK manufacturer of high quality translucent glass reinforced polyester (GRP) sheeting, used by the roofing and cladding industry for rooflights to provide essential natural daylight into large buildings. The company is continually developing into new areas and now supplies products to a wide range of markets including, opaque roofing sheets, plate for signs, hygienic cladding and building refurbishment products. This extensive range offers diverse solutions to designers, architects and specifiers to meet customer demands in alternative markets.

An industry innovator Filon Products has manufactured GRP sheeting for over forty years, during which time it has built up a reputation for high standards of quality, and is fully compliant with ISO9001. The unique continuous production process ensures consistent weight, uniform thickness and good profile definition. An extensive product range offers rooflights and roofing sheets, to match all UK manufactured metal and fibre cement standard roofing and cladding profiles, in three fire grades which comply fully with UK Building Regulations.

The company is constantly striving to ensure all its products meet internationally recognised standards. To meet Health and Safety Executive non-fragile regulations, super strong rooflights are produced which will last for the expected life of the roof.

GRP flat sheets are manufactured for many varied applications, exploiting the broad range of material advantages inherent in GRP. Special surface protection coatings enhance GRP’s natural resistance to harsh weather, chemical and marine environments, creating lasting solutions where other materials would quickly corrode.

The company is a member of the Metal Cladding and Roofing Manufacturers Association (MCRMA), the National Association of Rooflight Manufacturers (NARM), and the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC).
