The PolyX PVC Capped Timber Supported Rafter Bar is an ideal solution for contractors and DIY enthusiasts installing polycarbonate roofing sheets on timber or metal structures. Its primary benefit is a highly secure, weather-resistant seal provided by the two-part design, though users should note that it requires a solid support structure like a rafter for installation. This 4-metre white bar accommodates polycarbonate sheets from 10mm to 25mm in thickness, offering a clean, professional finish for conservatories, carports, and canopies.

The PolyX system is specifically designed for polycarbonate sheet installations; it is not recommended for glass.
Yes, the system is designed to provide a secure seal for the polycarbonate sheets within the bar assembly.
Yes, both the aluminium base and the PVC cap can be cut to shorter lengths using a standard hacksaw or chop saw.
This bar is compatible with polycarbonate sheets as thin as 10mm.
The PVC cap is finished for outdoor durability and is not intended to be painted.
Ensure that no debris is trapped in the locking track and verify that the sheets are not pushing against the base unevenly.
Check that the sheets are seated fully into the side gaskets of the base and ensure the cap is snapped down completely along the entire length.
To install, ensure your rafters are spaced correctly according to the width of your polycarbonate sheets. Screw the aluminium base into the rafter using appropriate fasteners for your substrate (timber or metal). Ensure the sheets are cut to size with adequate clearance for thermal expansion before snapping the PVC cap into place using a rubber mallet if necessary. For care, simply clean the surface with warm soapy water and a soft cloth periodically to maintain the white finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvent-based chemicals that could damage the PVC layer.
