Product Information

Full details

The PolyX Eaves Beam is an essential structural component designed for homeowners and contractors working on self-supported glazing projects. It serves as the primary load-bearing edge for roofing systems, providing a secure foundation for polycarbonate sheets between 16mm and 35mm thick. While it offers excellent durability and structural integrity for conservatories and lean-to structures, installers should note that it requires precise alignment with existing wall plates and rafter bars to ensure a weather-tight finish.

FAQs

What thickness of polycarbonate does this beam support?

The PolyX Eaves Beam is compatible with polycarbonate sheets ranging from 16mm to 35mm thick.

Does this beam come with mounting hardware?

No, mounting hardware is typically provided by the installer to ensure compatibility with your specific wall construction material.

Can I use this beam for glass roofing?

This product is specifically engineered for polycarbonate glazing systems. Please consult with a structural engineer if planning to use glass.

How do I clean the beam?

Use a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools.

Is this product suitable for coastal environments?

The beam is designed for standard outdoor residential use. If in a high-salt environment, ensure all fasteners used are high-grade marine-quality stainless steel.

Troubleshooting

Sheet does not fit into the beam channel

Verify the polycarbonate thickness is within the 16mm to 35mm range and check for debris or obstructions inside the beam channel.

Beam appears misaligned with rafter bars

Ensure that the wall plate is perfectly level and that all rafter bars have been measured and cut to identical lengths.

Water leaking at the edge

Check that the glazing seals are correctly seated and that the beam is properly flashed against the roofing material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports a wide range of polycarbonate thicknesses (16mm-35mm)
  • Ensures structural integrity for self-supported roofing
  • Integrates seamlessly with standardized glazing components
  • Durable design suitable for long-term outdoor exposure

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement for correct fitment
  • Needs compatible rafter bars to function as a system
  • Limited to specific architectural applications (glazing systems)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your support posts are level and the wall plate is securely anchored to the building. Position the PolyX Eaves Beam along the bottom edge of the roof slope, ensuring it is flush with the rafter bars. Use appropriate corrosion-resistant fasteners to secure the beam to your support structure. To maintain the component, wipe it down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water annually to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool, as these can scratch the finish.
