Start from the finished panel material, not from the word “skylight.” Continuous FRP translucent sheets and metal coil profiles share a market nickname but use incompatible tooling, utilities, and rating sheets. Industry daylighting pages describe FRP continuous lamination; metal roof roll-former pages describe coil forming — keep those evidence streams separate.
| Dimension | Continuous FRP skylight line | Metal skylight / roof roll line |
|---|---|---|
| Raw materials | Resin, glass mat / roving, process films | Galvanized / color steel / aluminum coil |
| Core process | Impregnate → mold → cure → haul → trim / cross-cut | Decoil → level → roll form → cut-to-length |
| Typical product | Translucent / semi-translucent FRP corrugated or flat sheet | Opaque (or cut-out) metal roof / wall profile |
| Public ratings in this pack | Documented haul / total kW / width / thickness (FRP sibling) | Not locked as a dedicated metal-skylight FAQ table |
| Interchangeable tooling? | No — do not run FRP chemistry on a metal roll mill or vice versa | |
Full narrative lives on the Continuous FRP Skylight Panel Line entry. This comparison page repeats FRP figures only in the FRP column.
Often FRP continuous sheets that install with metal roofing — that is still the FRP column, not a metal roll mill. If you need opaque metal cover plus separate translucent inserts, you may need both families as separate proposals.
Only as two labeled columns. Never as a single merged rating row.
