SELF SUPPORT ROOF FIXING GUIDE

Before you start approximately 4 inches above your  intended wall plate height cut a grove into the wall

1. First decide on the correct height for the aluminum  wall plate (5 to 10 degrees) then ensuring it is level fix it to the wall at approximately every 600mm  note pvc under cladding should be on wall plate before fixing

2. There is a grove along the length of the wall plate designed to take captive bolts slide these bolts into place allowing two per bar.

3. Drill a pair of holes into the end of each bar30mm  from the top of the bar then pass the bolts through the holes you have drilled secure into position with  fixing nut. (bar spacing = sheet size + 8mm)

4.Offer aluminum end closure up to wall on top of glazing bars and mark glazing bar centers. Then cut a notch into  the bottom of the profile  approximately 5mm wide up  to the up stand. This profile should then locate onto the  end of glazing bars. Check it

5.The lower end of the bar should be drilled into a  the lower wall plate( not supplied) you can either use timber 4x4 which can be clad later or if using  upvc windows a purpose designed wall plate.

6.Cut bars to length (remember to allow 60mm into   the guttering) then cut your sheets to length (remove swarf from sheets with a vacuum then seal sheets with anti dust tape) solid tape goes on the top edge of the poly vented on the bottom edge.

7.Fit polycarbonate sheets in place and locate  into aluminium closure silicone to seal sheets  
USE NEUTRAL CURE SILICONE

8.Fit upvc capping onto bar and push up in to aluminium closure profile silicone where pvc capping meets  aluminum flashing

9.Slide the variable angle flashing support trim along    the aluminum closure then dress lead into the precut  grove then down the wall and onto the lead flashing   support trim dress the lead and trim as required.

10. Fit sides to edge bars clip into place then use double  sided tapes to fix. Now place sheet upvc closures to   bottom edge of polycarbonate sheets fit bar end caps and install your gutter system as norm.
