The PolyX PVC F Section is an essential edge trim for homeowners and contractors installing 10mm polycarbonate roofing sheets on rafter-supported systems. It provides a professional, weather-resistant finish to the sides of your installation, ensuring a clean aesthetic and long-term protection against the elements. While highly durable for exterior use, users should note that it is precision-engineered specifically for 10mm sheets and may not fit alternative thickness materials.

No, this component is specifically engineered for 10mm sheets and will not provide a secure fit on 16mm or other thicknesses.
The F Section is designed as a pressure-fit component and typically does not require screws for the trim itself, though your main glazing bars will require standard fixings.
Yes, PVC is resistant to salt air and corrosion, making it a suitable choice for exterior use in most environments.
You can cut the PVC easily using a fine-toothed hand saw or a hacksaw for clean, precise edges.
While the PVC has a finished white surface, you can use specialized plastic-bonding spray paints if you choose, though this is generally not required.
Ensure the polycarbonate sheet is not pinched by glazing bars and that the edge is clean of burrs or excess protective film.
Verify you are using genuine 10mm polycarbonate sheeting; if the fit remains loose, check if the sheet edge has been damaged or crushed during the installation of support bars.
To install, measure your rafters carefully and cut the F Section to length using a fine-toothed hacksaw. Ensure the polycarbonate sheet edge is free of debris before sliding the trim into place to ensure a snug fit. While the PVC is self-finishing and requires no painting, it can be kept clean by wiping it down periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water during your regular roof cleaning schedule. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or strong solvents, as these can dull the white finish or scratch the PVC surface.
