Description

The SkyLine Patent Glazing system centres around a very versatile patent glazing bar which will suit most project designs at an affordable price. 


The low profile of the glazing bar is perfect for applications where the roof glazing system needs to sit in-line with the roof itself.


SkyLine is available with a number of different internal and external capping sub-systems to produce several possible configurations s from one suite of components, which are equally suited to both commercial and domestic applications. It can accommodate double and triple glazed units where compliance with Building Regulations Document L is a requirement but is also popular for single glazed applications such as feature canopies and unheated spaces. 


The system is also frequently used in double and triple glazed rooflights and has been successfully deployed in a number of construction projects with single glazed feature canopies, where it has proved an enlightened and attractive solution due to its affordability and robustness.  


The glazing bar's strength is provided by an internal stalk (or fin) which is cut away at the top and bottom main fixing positions. An internal snap-on ornate capping system (PC4) is also available if desired to fully conceal the internal stalk giving the appearance of a feature timber rafter and the glazing bar is weathered by a screw on pressure cap (PC1) with a choice of plain (PC2) or ornate (PC3) cosmetic outer snap-on cappings to conceal all fixing screws.


When deployed with high-performance double-glazing units with warm edge spacer bars and argon gas filling, The SkyLine Patent Glazing this system can achieve an overall U Value of 1.4W/ m²K, which is compliant with Building Regulation Document L. 


SkyLine is available in three sizes depending on the design span, with fin depths of 50mm, 70mm and 100mm and can span up to 4 metres unsupported with double glazed infills weighing 30kg/m².


Features and benefits:

  • Sits in line with the roof due to the slim sightlines
  • Offers an economical roof glazing solution
  • The internal fin/ stalk provides inner glazing bar strength, and is cut away at the top and bottom main fixing positions
  • Can accommodate single, double and triple glazing of any thickness
  • Available with a choice of two cosmetic outer snap-on cappings which conceal all fixing screws and an external snap-on capping to allow for design flexibility
  • Can be combined with opening vents to offer a complete glazing solution
  • Versatile, and will suit most projects
  • Can span up to four meters when unsupported (while holding double glazed infills of 30 kg/m²)
  • Manufactured in accordance with BS 5516: 2004 Code of Practice for the design and installation of vertical and sloping patent glazing
