Nucor “CFR”™ Translucent Panel
Nucor translucent panels are available for Underwriters Laboratory (UL®) rated roof systems. This unit is designed to fit on purlin spacing of 5’-0” or 5’-6”. UL rating is available for 5’-0” purlin spacing only. UL rating is achieved by simply hand crimping the full length of the translucent panel. No extra framing or materials are required. The CFR™ translucent panels cannot be placed from end to end, eave to eave, or at the eave of a building. They cannot be placed directly beside another translucent panel. It is recommended that at least four (4) CFR™ panels occur between translucent panel locations. This unit cannot be used as a construction platform. The CFR™ panels above and below the translucent panel must bear on a minimum of three (3) purlins, preferably four (4). Buildings with less than 60’-0” panel runs (from eave to ridge or high side of a single slope) are typically limited to one (1) translucent panel per run. Whenever possible, it is recommended that wall translucent panels be used in lieu of roof translucent panels.

Roof panels above and below the translucent panels shall attach to a minimum of three (3) purlins, preferably four (4). Buildings with less than 60’-0” panel runs (from eave to ridge or high side of a single slope) are typically limited to one (1) translucent panel per run.

The panel at the end of any wall with wall lites will be a full height metal panel for better corner trim attachment.
