Aluminium Glazing Bars

Common Questions 

Buying roofing materials can be daunting, especially when ordering them online. With over 40 years of experience in roofing, however, we get asked lots of questions about our growing range of glazing bars. Here are some of the most common questions with answers for each!

Which Glazing Bars Are Best – PVC, Aluminium or Self-supporting?

Our range of glazing bars are purposely designed for various project types. Whilst PVC glazing bars are suitable on smaller projects where multiwall polycarbonate is being used, aluminium glazing bars are designed for tougher jobs. This includes projects where glass or solid polycarbonate is being used, or where larger multiwall polycarbonate sheets are required. Self-supporting glazing bars are perfect for structures where there is no other structure, such as on a conservatory or large canopy.

Can Aluminium Glazing Bars Support Glass Panels?

 Yes! Our range of aluminium glazing bars are designed to withstand the weight of both glass and polycarbonate. You may wish to consider solid polycarbonate as an alternative to glass, as it provides the same appearance whilst being virtually unbreakable.
 

Are These Glazing Bars Available in Other Colours?

Yes! Aluminium glazing bars can be fully customised and coated in a specified RAL colour. An additional fee will apply and lead-time can vary, so please speak to our team by telephone or online.

Are Rubber Gaskets Included With Our Glazing Bars?

Yes! Where shown in product images you will receive a rubber gasket. This is typically placed between your timber structure and roofing sheet. This not only protects your sheet from damage, but also prevents any water ingress beneath your glazing bars.
