SELF BUILD CONSERVATORIES

We offer a full range of self build conservatories, including: Traditional, Edwardian and Victorian. For customers with something more specific in mind, we also offer a bespoke service. All of our self build kits are specifically designed for the self builder and are supplied 'flat-pack', but a fitting service is available on request.

GLAZING BARS

We offer glazing bars for producing either a self-supporting roof, or as cappings for the fabricator producing a timber conservatory.

Designed to meet the requirements of both the commercial and domestic markets, the glazing bar system, can be used with all popular materials, including 6mm glass, multi-wall polycarbonate sheet and double glazed units. The wide range of sections offers the designer the flexibility to select the right glazing bar for the application. The choice of light duty, standard and heavy duty glazing bars ensures that the section used is both strong enough for the application and competitively priced. Sloping and square caps are available to suit all glazing bars with both standard and thermally broken options. This offers the designers the choice of style to suit specific applications. The glazing bar can be fixed directly through the base to the main supports of the structure, or alternatively brackets can be used to leave the glazing bar channels free for drainage. All glazing bar and caps are stocked in a variety of lengths and finishes and can be supplied as individual sections or in packs, complete with fittings.

GASKETS

The gaskets are designed to ensure the sheet is sealed even when glazed at an angle. The standard gasket will satisfy the majority of situations but the hip gasket should be used when the angle is more acute. The gaskets are produced from TPR rubber, which is compatible with all polycarbonate, acrylic and PVC sheet.

THERMAL EFFICIENCY

Thermal efficiency can be improved by clipping the PVC-U profile to the underside of the glazing bar. Available in white or brown, the PVC-U sections complements the window profiles popular in many domestic conservatories. Alternatively a thermal barrier can be created by clipping the PVC-U profile into the caps to form an insulator between the aluminium sections.

ACCESSORIES

A full range of accessories is available to complement the glazing bar system. This includes aluminium closure sections for multi-wall plastic sheet, eaves fillers, adjustable wallplates, and acetal headed stainless steel screws. End plates are socked to suite all glazing bars and sheet thicknesses.

RAFTER GLAZING BARS

The inexpensive rafter glazing bar can be used un-supported over short spans or as a glazing medium on timber framed structures. Designed to fit standard 50mm wide timber the cap can be used with either an aluminium base or the rubber rafter gasket. Both combinations are suitable for use with 6mm glass, multi-wall polycarbonate sheet and double glazed units. Acute angles can be accommodated by using the hip cap and gasket to ensure an effective seal on the sheet. All sections are stocked in a range of standard lengths and can be supplied individually or in packs complete with fittings.

SPECIFICATION

The aluminium sections are extruded from 6063 T6 Alloy (BS1474) and are supplied in mill finish or polyester powder coated.
