Product Information

Full details

The PolyX Rafter Bar Intermediate Bar is designed for DIYers and professional contractors installing self-support roofing systems. Its primary benefit is the secure, weather-resistant joining of polycarbonate sheets, offering structural integrity for spans up to 6 metres. Please note that while the bar is versatile, it requires precise measurement and alignment during the initial installation to ensure the snap cap locks correctly.

FAQs

What is the maximum span supported by this bar?

The PolyX Rafter Bar is designed to support spans up to 6 metres.

Can I use this with 25mm sheets?

Yes, this bar is compatible with polycarbonate sheets ranging from 16mm to 35mm.

Does the bar come with fasteners?

The bar includes the integrated gasket and one end cap; specific mounting screws for the rafters should be selected based on your sub-structure material.

Is this bar suitable for all positions?

This is an intermediate bar. You will need separate wall plates and eaves beams for the perimeter of your roof.

Can I cut the 2-metre bar to size?

Yes, the bar can be trimmed to fit your specific roof dimensions using a fine-tooth hacksaw.

Troubleshooting

Snap cap will not click into place

Check if the polycarbonate sheet is fully seated on the gasket. Debris between the sheet and the base can prevent proper alignment.

Water ingress at the end of the bar

Ensure the end cap is properly secured and that the sealant was applied if the installation requires extra weatherproofing at the eaves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality construction for long-term durability
  • Versatile thickness range supports various glazing projects
  • Easy to install snap-cap mechanism
  • Includes necessary end cap for a clean finish

Cons

  • Requires careful alignment for optimal gasket sealing
  • Limited to intermediate positions only
  • Must be matched with specific wall plate and eaves beam components

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure your rafters are spaced according to the width of your polycarbonate sheets. Secure the base of the bar to your supporting framework using appropriate fasteners before laying the sheets. Once sheets are in place, align the snap cap and push it down firmly until it clicks into the base along its entire length. For care, clean the white surface periodically with a mild detergent and water to remove debris or mildew. Avoid using abrasive sponges or solvents that could compromise the neoprene gasket or the protective finish of the bar.
