Glazing Bars for Glass

About

When installing an Axgard or glass roof it is essential to have the correct glass glazing bars to properly secure your glazing. There are two main types of glazing bars for glass roofs: Self supporting and rafter supporting. Both types of glass glazing bar are manufactured from aluminium for a high-quality finish and long life span. This selection from our range of glazing bars is also suitable for Solid Glazing Sheets like Axgard. Whether you use self supporting or rafter supporting glazing bars for your glass roof as both types work with any thickness of glass! Common projects include using aluminium glazing bars for 6mm when building a canopy or 4mm glass for a gazebo roof. Self Supporting Glazing Bars Using self supporting aluminium glazing bars for a glass roof removes the need for installing timber rafters and increases the lifespan significantly. Aluminium does not rot as timber does over time. What’s more, with little additional cost a self supporting glazing bar can save you money. Choose the Low span self supporting glazing bars for spans up to 3.4m* and for longer spans up to 5.6m* choose our High Span self supporting glazing bars. Rafter Supported Glazing Bars Rafter Glazing Bars are designed with all the same features as self supporting but without the base beam. This means they are often used for conservatory roof glazing bars when installing glass. The Alukap-XR Glazing bar range includes a wide variety of components including ridge bars, hip bars and more to suit all designs of glass roofs. As aluminium glazing bars for glass roofs can be installed with any thickness of glazing they are also great for installing solid polycarbonate. If you want to remove the shatter risk of glass then our Axgard Solid Polycarbonate Sheets are a greater shatterproof option. *Spanning capabilities are dependent on a wide range of factors such as location, exposure, regional loading requirements, glazing type and more so we cannot guarantee any results will be achieved.
