Product Information

Full details

The PolyX Aluminium F Section is designed for DIYers and professional contractors installing 16mm polycarbonate roofing sheets. It provides a robust, professional-grade finish for the side edges of installations, preventing moisture ingress and protecting the exposed flutes of the sheet. While it offers superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, it requires precise measurement and cutting to ensure a seamless fit against structural supports.

FAQs

Can I use this for 25mm sheets?

No, this profile is specifically engineered for 16mm polycarbonate sheets.

Does this trim come with fixing screws?

No, fixings are typically sold separately to allow you to choose screws compatible with your specific sub-structure material.

Is the white finish UV stable?

Yes, the powder coating is designed for outdoor use and maintains its color integrity under sunlight.

Can I paint the F section a different color?

While possible, it is recommended to keep the factory powder-coated finish for optimal weather resistance.

Do I need to seal the joints?

It is recommended to use a neutral-cure silicone sealant at the joints for maximum weatherproofing, ensuring it is compatible with polycarbonate.

Troubleshooting

Profile is too tight to slide onto the sheet

Check that the polycarbonate sheet edge is free from burrs or excess plastic from the cutting process.

Trim feels loose on the edge

Ensure you are using standard 16mm gauge polycarbonate; if the sheet is slightly thinner due to manufacturer tolerances, use a small amount of neutral-cure silicone sealant to secure the trim.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade corrosion-resistant aluminium
  • Provides a clean, professional aesthetic finish
  • Easy to cut to exact dimensions
  • Excellent weatherproofing for exposed sheet edges

Cons

  • Requires manual cutting for specific lengths
  • Not compatible with sheets thinner or thicker than 16mm
  • Aluminium is rigid, requiring careful handling during installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Measure the length of the glazing edge precisely. Using a hacksaw, cut the F section to size. Ensure the polycarbonate edge is free of debris before sliding the trim onto the sheet.

Compatibility: This product is strictly compatible with 16mm polycarbonate sheets. It is not suitable for 10mm or 25mm variants.

Care: To maintain the appearance, wipe down the profile with a soft cloth and mild soapy water periodically. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents that could damage the white powder-coated finish.
