Uses
Aluminium F Sections in white or brown from the Glazing Shop are manufactured from high quality aluminium profiles. They have a powder coated finish for durability. The F sections provide a clean finish to the left and right edges of your roof.
The aluminium F section is best used to create an end bar in the outside of a glazing bar. This gives a strong fix against wind uplift and depending on the finish you need, the profile can be used either way up. The long leg of the section can point down to cloak off the open edge of your roof. It can also point upwards if it abuts a wall so you can flash over it.
Not to be used with a PVC capped rafter bar as the prongs are too deep and a PVC Universal Edge trim should be used instead. The aluminium F section will work perfectly with an aluminium capped rafter bar and can also be used with a self support main bar to create an end bar, if not using the dedicated end bar available with the range.
This section can be used on its own to save costs but only if the long leg is downwards so it can be screwed through regularly into the side of the rafter. We do however, recommend that they are used with a glazing bar for the strongest and neatest solution.
Options
Available in white and brown to suit glazing thicknesses or 10mm, 16mm, 25mm & 35mm. Supplied in 3m, 4m, 5m and 6m lengths, they are easily cut to size on site. We also offer Anthracite grey Aluminium F sections in a range of options.
Fitting
The aluminium F section slides over the edge of your polycarbonate sheet. Suitable for 10mm, 16mm, 25mm & 35mm thicknesses of polycarbonate. The aluminium F section is best used to create an end bar in the outside of a glazing bar. This gives a strong fix against wind uplift and depending on the finish you need, the profile can be used either way up. The long leg of the section can point down to cloak off the open edge of your roof. It can also point upwards if it abuts a wall so you can flash over it. The top cap of your glazing bar will hold this section firmly in place.
If used without a glazing bar the section can only be used with the long leg facing downwards so that it can be screwed through along its length. If used in this way you will need to run a bead of silicon along to assist with waterproofing.
