The PolyX PVC Capped Rafter Bar is an ideal solution for contractors and DIY enthusiasts installing polycarbonate roofing systems who require a robust, weather-resistant support structure. Its primary benefit lies in the combination of a high-strength aluminum base with a sleek, low-maintenance PVC snap-on cap, providing both structural integrity and a clean aesthetic finish for roof spans. One important caveat is that this 6-metre length is substantial and may require specific transport arrangements or cutting to size for smaller residential projects.

No, this system is specifically engineered for polycarbonate sheets between 10mm and 25mm thickness.
The base is typically provided without pre-drilled holes to allow for custom placement based on your specific rafter layout.
You can cut both the aluminium base and the PVC cap to your required size using a standard hacksaw or a fine-toothed power saw.
The product description refers to the rafter bar components; check your specific order if end closures or termination bars were included as separate accessories.
The PVC cap hides the fixing screws and provides a clean, white aesthetic while helping to protect the seal from weather.
Check that the aluminium base is mounted level and that no debris is obstructing the locking channel.
Ensure the cap is fully engaged along the entire length and verify the mounting screws are tightened flush with the base.
To install, ensure your timber or metal rafters are perfectly aligned and spaced according to the width of your polycarbonate sheets. Secure the aluminium base using corrosion-resistant screws at recommended intervals, typically every 300mm to 500mm. Once the base is fixed and the glazing sheets are positioned, align the PVC cap and apply firm pressure to snap it into the locking channel. To maintain the system, clean the PVC surface periodically with mild soapy water and a soft cloth to prevent grime buildup, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
