to 25mm polycarbonate sheet. |

or commercial glazing applications where longer
spans or heavier loading specifications are required.
It has a maximum self supporting span of up to
4.15 metres at 600mm centres and is suitable for
16mm to 25mm polycarbonate sheet or glass units(contact
our sales office for spanning details on glass

used for large roof glazing applications and is
capable of spanning up to 5.4 m at 600mm centres.

STANDARD
VARIABLE PITCH WALLPLATE - is very simple
to install between 2.5 degrees to 30 degrees pitch.
When screw fixed to the wall, bars bolt onto the
wall plate and glazing is pushed up into the glazing
aperature and sealed effectively. |

|
|
VARIABLE
PITCH EAVES BEAM provides a strong and simple
solution to fix bars at the eaves on top of the
windows or stand-ups. A flipper gasket seals between
the glazing bars. The eaves beam can be fixed
from above or below, bars are then screw fixed
onto the variable pitch component. Guttering is
then fixed to the aluminium face. |
