Installation time! Fix your glazing bars and polycarbonate securely in place, and make sure that you follow the precise instructions for your type of glazing bar. Endcaps can be fitted once all the glazing bars are attached, and certain glazing bars may require additional fixings. Step 5 Movement Accommodation: Allow for the natural expansion and contraction of your polycarbonate sheets. With Fixing Buttons, you won't have to worry about compromising sheet integrity. Before you start fixing your polycarbonate sheets to your frame you will need to get ready. Certain pieces of equipment will make sure that your job is easier.

Get your timber frame pre-drilled, at suitable intervals so that you are ready to attach your sheets. More careful measuring to ensure that the drilled holes in your polycarbonate sheet will line up with your timber holes. If you are unsure about the best distance for your fixings, seek advice. Your roofing sheets need to be secure enough to withstand strong winds but putting too many holes and screws in the polycarbonate could potentially weaken the structure. Step 4After your sheet has been cut to size, we recommend marking a point at the central lower end for the fixing button. Once your sheet is pushed into position (secured by the glazing bars) the fixing can then be screwed in. Please note, every Corotherm sheet should have a 3mm expansion allowance around all fixings. Aesthetic Enhancement: Screw hole covers contribute to a polished and sleek appearance, concealing unsightly screw holes.

This method requires the use of glazing bars rather than fixing the polycarbonate directly to the frame. Both methods are good, but glazing bars are often used on larger polycarbonate structures or in windy areas. Step 1 As always, preparation is key to a successful finish. Make sure your work area is clear and you have all the tools and materials that you need before you start fixing polycarbonate sheets to timber. Spending time on the design of your structure before you start with construction will reduce the chance of making a costly mistake. Your timber frame needs to be constructed so that it can firmly hold your sheets. The main risk with this type of design is an uplift wind that can catch under the sheets and pull them off, but as long as the sheets are securely and correctly attached to the frame then your structure should be safe and sound. Things NeededScrews shoud be sealed in waterproof silicone sealant, wiping off any surplus after driving the screws.
