Product Information

Full details

The PolyX Wall Plate (WP3-W) is an essential component for builders and DIY enthusiasts working on conservatory or lean-to roofing projects who require a secure, weather-tight connection between a roof and an existing wall. It provides a robust, seamless finish when used with Eaves Beams and Self Supported Rafter Bars, though users should ensure their wall surface is level to prevent potential gaps that could affect the integrity of the weatherproofing.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this wall plate suitable for glass roofs?

This product is specifically engineered for use with polycarbonate sheets ranging from 16mm to 35mm thick.

Can I use this on a non-level wall?

The wall surface should be as level and plumb as possible to ensure the integral flashing seals correctly and the top cap fits properly.

Does the wall plate come with wall fixings?

No, wall fixings are not included as the required type depends on the material of your specific wall (e.g., brick, stone, or block).

Can I cut the 3-meter plate to a shorter size?

Yes, the wall plate can be cut to size using a fine-toothed hacksaw or a power saw with a suitable blade for UPVC.

What maintenance does the UPVC require?

Simply clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use solvent-based cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Top cap does not clip down securely

Ensure no debris is caught in the track and verify that the wall plate is mounted perfectly level.

Water leaking behind the flashing

Apply a high-quality neutral cure silicone sealant along the top edge of the flashing where it meets the masonry wall.

Difficulty inserting polycarbonate sheets

Check that the thickness of your sheets falls within the 16mm-35mm range and remove any burrs from the cut edges of the polycarbonate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy installation with user-friendly clip-down mechanism
  • Comprehensive weather protection with integral flashing
  • Compatible with a wide range of polycarbonate thicknesses
  • Durable UPVC construction resistant to the elements
  • Provides a clean, professional finish

Cons

  • Strictly limited to 3-meter lengths which may require joining for larger spans
  • Requires stable, plumb wall surfaces for optimal sealing
  • Installation requires careful alignment with rafter bars

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure the wall surface is clean and free of debris. Use appropriate wall fixings suitable for your specific masonry type to secure the plate. When inserting polycarbonate sheets, ensure they are cut to the correct dimensions to allow for thermal expansion within the wall plate housing. To maintain the unit, clean the UPVC surfaces periodically using a mild soapy solution and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvent-based chemicals that could damage the finish. Check the clip-down cap annually to ensure it remains securely snapped into position.
