Description
A neat 40mm wide box bar design, ThermGard provides a cost-effective alternative to more expensive sloped curtain walling systems without sacrificing aesthetics. Various slim-line box rafters are available to suit small or large spans. Alternatively the carrier rail may be used in conjunction with a wall plate or mounted on top of continuous timber eaves beam rafters – see our ThermGard-R glazing bars. A continuous screw on pressure plate with gaskets 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 buildings.
- Variable pitch down to 10 degrees
- Maximum span upto 4500mm
- Thermally broken for improved insulation and reduced risk of condensation
- Ventilation available
- Robust weather-tight abutments with building to prevent leaks
