Fitting Anti-Dust Breather Tape

Fitting Anti-Dust Breather tape to your polycarbonate sheets is quite straight forward when you follow these simple steps.

Fitting Anti-Dust Breather Tape

1. Prepare the polycarbonate sheet
Clean the end of the sheet where you will fit the tape. This is a good time to remove dirt or moisture from the flutes, which are the channels that run the length of the sheet. Ensure that the surface is clean and dry before...
2. Positioning tape over end
Cut 50mm longer than the width of the sheet, to allow 25mm to wrap round both corners. Stick the pre-cut tape to the end of your sheet. Position vertically so that some tape rises above and an equal amount hangs below the end of the sheet. Then...
3. Fold tape over to secure
Fold the overhanging strips of tape to the top and bottom face of the sheeting. Don't worry if the tape is a little longer than your sheet, you can just fold it round the end to...
4. Fit End Closure
Fit a protective end closure over the sheet to prevent it from being harmed by the elements.

Part of Sunwood's high quality, maintenance-free Snap-Tight range of rafter bars. The extruded aluminium Base Bars feature a central recess with locking points into which the toothed legs of the PVC-u Cap are located and long-lasting EPDM rubber gaskets to cushion and form a weather-tight seal on the underside of the polycarbonate. The PVC-u Cap has coextruded seals that forms a sound, pressure seal on the top of the polycarbonate once the PVC-u Cap has been pressed firmly into position. Retro-fitted to existing timber roofs with 10, 16 or 25mm polycarbonate, the 25GB Rafter Main Bar and other Sunwood components can encase and seal problem leak areas while also breathing a new lease of life into the roof. Sunwood is equally effective on new installations too, offering an attractive, low-maintenance, long-life capping solution. Features & Benefits Coextruded Flapper Seal - compress onto glazing for weather-proof seal EPDM Gaskets in Base - acts as a seat and seal for glazing Aluminium Base Bar - strong and lightweight extrusion Flexible System - fits many roof designs and sizes Fully-Serviceable - Sunwood components can be easily removed if required Maintenance-Free - no annual painting required Designed to Integrate - neatly fits other Sunwood products Easy-Fit System - designed to ease installation 5 Year Guarantee - long product guarantee Technical Information Materials Base Bar (Aluminium extrusion.

10mm Polycarbonate End Closure
End Closure for 10mm Polycarbonate Sheets (White, Brown or Anthracite Grey) Seal and protect the ends of your polycarbonate sheets Also known as "U" Drips, Poly End Covers and End Profile Trims, these End Closures are designed to protect ends and form a tight seal to the top of polycarbonate sheeting. End closures are typically fitted to the gutter-end of pitched roofs, such as those of a conservatory, or to both ends of a free-standing roof. Provide decorative protection to the vulnerable ends of polycarbonate sheeting. Features & Benefits Seals open end of polycarbonate sheet Helps prevent dust and insects entering the sheet Protects vented anti-dust breather tape Drip design prevents water from being blown back towards the roof Drainage holes reduce condensation and moisture IMPORTANT SIZE INFORMATION These end closures are designed to fit 10mm thick sheets, and are supplied in 2.1m lengths for white and brown, and 2.5m length for anthracite grey. Extend the life of your roof With three sides protected by glazing bars and ridge capping, the gutter end is often the only edge of polycarbonate sheets that are exposed. When left exposed, the breather tape that is applied to the open fluted ends of the sheets become wet and deteriorate. This leads to failure of the tape and the sheets flutes suffering condensation, algae build-up and insect penetration. Fitting End Closures helps stop this from happening. These End Closures are designed with a 3mm 'drip' on the front edge, to stop water running back towards the roofing material.
