These Screw-Down Rafter Hip Bars should be used when fitting to hip spars of Edwardian (4-sided) and Victorian (5-sided) conservatories. The exception to this is Victorian conservatories that have a front roof pitch equal to the side pitch, which can use the standard Screw-Down Rafter Main Bars. Note that on a roof using the Sunwood Rafter Hip Bars, the Plastic Spider Top Cap should be used in favour of the aluminium cast Sunwood Spider. This allows the profile of any hip and main bars to be cut from the Spider and the Spider sit properly on the ridge.

Retro-fitted to hip rafters of existing 5-40° pitched timber roofs, these Rafter Hip 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 instalations too, offering an attractive, low-maintenance, long-life capping solution.

Fitting the Sunwood Screw-Down Rafter Hip 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 the Hip Bars cut to length before being screwed down onto the timber rafters at 300mm intervals. This will form a nice tight seal of the High Side EPDM Gasket onto the roof material. The Cover Cap is easy to fit using the two cover cap locators that run parallel down the length of the Hip Bar - just hook the Cover Cap over one cover cap locators and pivot down onto other for a tight snap fit.

25mm Polycarbonate End Closure
End Closure for 25mm Polycarbonate Sheets (White, Brown or Anthracite Grey) Seal and protect the ends of your polycarbonate sheets and glass units 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 using it's flexible, co-extruded gasket. 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. Provides 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 No need to use silicone to seal the end closure Co-extruded gasket stops water penetration from above Protects vented anti-dust breather tape Prevents UV light breaking down the glass units seal Drip design prevents water from being blown back towards the roof Drainage holes reduce condensation and moisture Extend the life of your roof With three sides protected by glazing bars and ridge capings, 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 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.
