Installation Guide

Step one 

Fix your first edge bar, as shown in Figure 1. Slide the edge fillet up the grove on the bar as shown, then cut the bar to length, remembering to allow for a 50MM overhang into the guttering. Cut the aluminium base 2MM longer than the intended length of the polycarbonate sheeting, allowing the end cap to be fitted later.
Drill and Fix the bar into position screw with no six screws at 3-400MM centres, Ensuring the drip on the edge trim is in the required place and neat from the external view. Repeat on the opposite end, Dia 1.
N.B Where bars are butting against the wall, the edge trim is not required to fit the bar only.

Step two 

You can cut all sheets to space them out or work towards cutting a sheet in the middle once you have decided to start fixing centre bars in your required position. Drill and fix the bars with screws at 3-400MM centres

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER TO LEAVE A CLEAR EXPANSION GAP OF 4MM BETWEEN THE BAR AND THE POLYCARBONATE SHEETS.

Step three 
Ensure all the rubber gaskets in the bars are flat with no bumps.

Step four
Cut your polycarbonate sheets the length if not already done, ensuring that all swarf is removed. Use a vacuum or condensation-free airline to remove the swarf (never try to wash it out). Now fit anti-dust tapes to the sheet using the solid foil tape to the top and the vented video to the bottom of the sheet Peel of backing tape and stick in place as shown. These tapes reduce condensation and keep out insects and dust, so ensure they are fitted correctly. Now peel about 50MM of the protective film down both sides and place the sheet in place.

Step Five
Position PVCU caps so that the toothed legs are located inside the centre of the aluminium base. Press down firmly, then hammer down lightly with a  rubber mallet or equivalent until caps lock down. As you work across the roof, complete flashing as you go (see tips).
Remove the protective covering when the flashing is complete and all caps are in place.

Step Six
Fit the end caps into place. Now cut sheet closures to the length between bars and push them to place as shown.

Tips

For polycarbonate cut-to-size, order your polycarbonate sheets after you have fitted your bars, and we can cut, blow and tape your sheets for you to the correct size (width and length). NB, do not forget to allow for expansion when ordering. (P.O.A)
If using a lead flashing, ensure the tip (recommended) is fitted before the sheets and dress down as you do the roof panels. Fit your information in sections of 2m and seal the overlap 100mm with a lead mate.

Cleaning only uses mild soapy water. Try a small panel first to ensure there is no reaction. Never use solvent-based cleaners.
You should not need to use silicone; however, only use good quality modulus-neutral clear silicone if you do.
For a good quality roof that will last the test of time, avoid wide sheets and try to use the recommended widths 980MM or less for ceilings up to 4m long and 700mm wide for tops 4m plus
Fix wall plates top and bottom, and fix joists as you fix polycarbonate bars.
Use 9mm economy fascias all around and square white gutters for a maintenance-free finish.
