Product Information

Full details

The PolyX Rafter Bar (Intermediate) is designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts working on self-support roofing projects. It provides a robust, secure framework for joining and supporting polycarbonate sheets, offering exceptional structural integrity for spans up to 6 metres. While it is highly durable and versatile, users should note that it requires careful alignment during the initial installation to ensure the two-part system provides a weather-tight seal across the entire length.

FAQs

What is the maximum sheet thickness this bar can support?

This bar is designed to support polycarbonate sheets ranging from 16mm to 35mm in thickness.

Does this bar include fixings?

The kit includes the rafter bar and one end cap; mounting screws for the base are not included as they depend on your specific support structure material.

Can I use this for a 6-metre span?

Yes, the system is designed to provide structural support for spans up to 6 metres, provided the support structure itself is rated for the load.

Is this suitable for glass roofs?

The PolyX Rafter Bar is specifically engineered for polycarbonate roofing systems and is not recommended for glass applications.

How do I maintain the finish?

Regularly wipe the white surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent to prevent the buildup of moss or environmental pollutants.

Troubleshooting

Snap-on cap will not click into place

Check that the polycarbonate sheet is not too thick for the bar or that the sheet is pushed deep enough into the neoprene gasket channel.

Water leaking at the joint

Inspect the neoprene gasket for debris and ensure the cap is fully pressed down along the entire length of the bar.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Compatible with a wide range of sheet thicknesses (16mm-35mm)
  • Supports long spans up to 6 metres
  • Easy installation with snap-on cap design
  • Weather-resistant neoprene gaskets included

Cons

  • Requires precise alignment for optimal seal
  • Limited to intermediate placement only
  • Heavy-duty construction requires solid mounting points

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure your wall plate and eaves beam are level before mounting the rafter bars.
  2. Installation: Secure the base section firmly to the support structure using appropriate fixings for your surface (wood, steel, or masonry).
  3. Placement: Lay the polycarbonate sheets onto the neoprene gaskets, ensuring they are seated centrally.
  4. Sealing: Apply the snap-on cap by pressing firmly along its length until an audible click confirms it is locked into place.
  5. Care: Clean the profile periodically with mild soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals or solvent-based cleaners that may damage the finish or the gaskets.
