A continuous screw on pressure plate with provides outstanding glass retention and a choice of decorative external covers are available to provide either contemporary glass roof appearance or a more traditional heritage style for roof lanterns on period buildingsDesigned to combine the benefits of more costly curtain walling sections with the rapid installation advantage of traditional two-edge support glazing, to provide thermal break roof glazing.
