Fitting the Sunwood Screw-Down 50mm Rafter Main Bar
Base Gaskets should be fitted to timber rafter. If timbers do not have a 3mm groove, then the central Pip that runs down the underside of the Base Gasket can be removed. Base Gasket should be cut to a length that allows it to over hand the gutter and fixed to the rafter with staples or similar. End Caps should be fitted and Main Bars cut to length. Main Bars can then be screwed down at 300mm intervals onto the timber rafters to form a nice tight seal of High Side EPDM Gasket onto the roof material. It is vital that the Main Bar Top Cap sits on the Sunwood Ridge's Flipper Seal and that the Main Bar Cover Cap is fitted and is covered by the Ridge. The Cover Cap is easy to fit using the two cover cap locators that run parallel down the length of the Main Bar - just hook the Cover Cap over one cover cap locators and pivot down onto other for a tigh snap fit.

Fitting the Wall Flashing Trim
The following provides a brief summary of typical installation. We recommend that customers who are new to this product, refer to the manufacturers technical brochure, for further fitting advice.
With bars and roof sheets in position, determine the required length of Wall Flashing and cut to size.
Sit the Wall Flashing in position, and mark top capping locations on the foam gasket. At the marks, cut out gasket, to provide an even compression seal over cappings and roof sheets.
Apply silicone sealant along the rear of the up-stand, which will push flush against the wall.
Position Wall Flashing against wall, and push down onto bars and roof sheets.
Fix to wall using suitable stainless steel screws.

10mm Polycarbonate End Closure
£8.20*
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.

When left exposed, the breather tape that is applied to the open fluted ends of the sheets become wet and deteriate. 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 and drainage holes to ventilate and release any water that gets into the end closure.
Glass units are also protected by end closures. Even though the glass roof units are sealed they can still be damaged by the elements - UV light can break down the seal and cause the unit to fail.
