Introduction
The Nuralite Fixing Plate is a precision-engineered component used to create secure fixing points within flat roof assemblies. It is commonly used for attaching external features such as solar panel brackets or rainscreens where direct fixing through the membrane and insulation would otherwise compromise performance.
The plate integrates neatly into Nuralite’s warm roof systems, allowing fixings to be made without creating thermal bridges or risking water ingress. It has been used successfully in a wide range of New Zealand projects requiring high-performance detailing.
Installation is straightforward for trained contractors and includes sealing around the fixing plate perimeter using approved techniques.
While not to be used as an anchor point for personal safety, it provides a robust base for attachment rooftop hardware and helps maintain membrane continuity. Specifiers seeking a reliable and tested solution for above-roof fixings will find the Nuralite Fixing Plate both practical and compliant.
Considerations
Not suitable for site fabrication or modification: Fixing Plates are factory-assembled under controlled conditions for waterproof integrity — site-built equivalents are not permitted and may compromise performance and warranty.
Seal integrity depends on membrane compatibility: The flange must be factory-bonded with the exact roofing membrane type. Incompatible or incorrectly installed membranes can compromise waterproofing.
Installation must be by trained or approved contractors: Roof warranty compliance requires installation by contractors approved by the membrane manufacturer. Improper installation may void warranties.
