Self-Supporting Glazing Bars, Edge Bars, Eaves Beam & Wall Plate (White)
Suitable for Use With 16mm, 25mm & 35mm Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets
Used for glazing canopies / carports / lean to roofs.

A basic Self-Supporting Roof System consists of.
A Wall plate for securing glazing bars to house wall, structural Eaves Beam for the low end, Self-Supporting Bars for use as an intermediate between roofing sheets, and Self-Supporting Edge Bars for the side edges.
These self-support glazing bars and accessories are an ideal choice for a modern and clean appearance when constructing a Canopy, Car Port, Lean-to or Conservatory roof.  The aluminium is strong but lightweight and glazing bars are finished in a pleasant uPVC capping and underclad which has a scotia moulding to give an appealing finish.  The minimum roof pitch is 5°, but we recommend a minimum pitch of 10°.

Unlike rafter supported glazing bars, these self-supporting glazing bars do not need supporting beneath their entire length.  Instead, the glazing bars are supported at the top and bottom of the rafter and will span up to 4m in length, without intermediary support.
