Side-Fix End Cap Replacement Kit
Simple to fit permanent solution!
Strong two-part aluminium plates and decorative end cap, fixing lug and screws. Plates slot together to form a T-section that can be side screwed onto glazing bar through pre-drilled pilot holes to prevent panels slipping. Tough plastic end cap and the be slide over log on bar end.
The continual expansion and contraction of conservatory roof glass and polycarbonate sheets, with the weakening of top capping compression over time, can result in roof panels slipping. When this happens it creates an opening at the ridge, which results in draughts, heat loss and water ingress. The plates in this kit prevent that from happening, and the end caps close the end a provide a decorative finish.
Features & Benefits
- Stops common leaks - no more slipped roof sheets
- Quick and easy fit - simply screws to side of bar
- Long-lasting - tough aluminium with durable uPVC
- Adaptable fitting - choice of side and fitting
- Attractive bar closure - decorative rose motif end cap
Roof panels can slip over time due to expansion and contraction of the material, the absence of retainers, loss of end caps, and reduced compression of top cappings. When they do slip, they can create an opening at the ridge, which results in draughts, heat loss and water ingress.
