Uses of the 60mm wide Sunwood Rafter Bar
This modern, low profile 60mm wide aluminium capped rafter bar is suitable for use with all thicknesses of glass or polycarbonate. The 60mm wide Sunwood bars are perfectly suited for use in single pane glass roofs and those with double glazed units. They are also perfect for all other plastic roof sheets (with the exception of corrugated.) This includes solid polycarbonate and all thicknesses of multi-wall polycarbonate. The bar is stylish visually with a sleek low profile appearance. It has a neat, rounded screw concealment cap. This bar is the perfect choice for high end, high quality roofs. This screw down rafter glazing bar is equally suitable whether you want to create a new roof or refurbish or waterproof an existing one. The screw down design gives you a robust solution which is ideal for use in coastal, high or other exposed locations.
Options
Available in Anthracite grey (RAL 7016) which is powder coated for a durable and high end finish. This colour is highly popular and very contemporary. If you wish to powdercoat the bar to a RAL colour of your choice it is also available in mill finish (unpainted.)
This 60mm screw down glazing bar is also available in a brown or white powder coated finish.
These aluminium capped rafter bars are also available in a 50mm width if that better suits the width of your rafters.
To create an end bar simply use an Aluminium F section in the outside of the standard bar. This will balance the bar and neatly cloak off the end of the roof. This F section can also be placed in the edge of the bar with the prong facing upwards if the roof is against a wall, and you want to flash over it.
Bar end caps include a glass stop and must be purchased separately.
Fitting
These screw down rafter bars are very easy to install and come complete with the gaskets and screws you will require.
To fit simply sit the base gasket straight onto your wooden rafter. Your chosen glazing sits to either side on top of this. Your F sections would also be fitted at this point ready to create your end bars.
Next the aluminium top cap is firmly screwed down between the glazing sheets through to your rafter using the central groove as a guide. We recommend the screws be at around 300 - 400mm intervals. The top cap itself has two slide in gaskets that sit atop the glazing on either side to give a firm and watertight seal. There is a pre-cast tab on the back of the bar end cap which fits neatly into the central channel on the bar top cap. This has a pre-drilled hole to accommodate the countersunk screw which is included with the end cap.
Finally, clip the screw concealment profile into place for a smooth, sleek finish.
