Technical Information

Fitting the Sunwood Screw-Down 50mm Rafter Main Bar

Base Gaskets should be fitted to timber rafter. If timbers do not have a 3mm groove, then the central Pip that runs down the underside of the Base Gasket can be removed. Base Gasket should be cut to a length that allows it to over hand the gutter and fixed to the rafter with staples or similar. End Caps should be fitted and Main Bars cut to length. Main Bars can then be screwed down at 300mm intervals onto the timber rafters to form a nice tight seal of High Side EPDM Gasket onto the roof material. It is vital that the Main Bar Top Cap sits on the Sunwood Ridge's Flipper Seal and that the Main Bar Cover Cap is fitted and is covered by the Ridge. The Cover Cap is easy to fit using the two cover cap locators that run parallel down the length of the Main Bar - just hook the Cover Cap over one cover cap locators and pivot down onto other for a tigh snap fit.
