Technical Information

Did you know? Applying foam tape down each rafter before fitting the sheets, will help to reduce the friction and noise caused by thermal expansion, and an aluminium wall flashing can be used to protect the joint at a host wall. Look at our EZ Glazer Wall Flashing, EZ Glaze Foam Tape and EZ Glaze Screw & Washer accessories.

Fitting & Usage

Designed with ease of installation in mind, EZ Glaze is a pleasure to fit, as the following summary will demonstrate. Full fitting instructions are available, and recommended reading prior to installation.

Pre-installation Considerations

• Use up to 60mm rafters.
• Rafter spacings must be 600mm (centre-to-centre).
• Ensure rafters are perfectly perpendicular to beams/wall.
• Minimum pitch of 5°.
• No purlins/laths required.
• Read full fitting instructions before starting the installation of your structure.

Installation

1. Apply foam tape along the centre of each rafter to reduce friction and noise.
2. Position first sheet with 'upper' edge corrugation resting on the starter rafter. The sheet should overhang at the bottom by 50-150mm, and the same amount at the top if the roof is free-standing.
3. Pre-drill fixing holes through the sheet along starter rafter corrugation, at maximum of 500mm apart and within 30-50mm from either end.
4. Secure the sheet to starter rafter from top to bottom, using EZ Glaze screws and washers.
5. Overlap the 'upper' edge of the second sheet, over the 'lower' edge of the first. Then pre-dill and fix through both, as done with the first rafter.
6. Repeat the fixing procedure for the remaining sheet.
7. If the penultimate and end rafters are less than 600mm centre-to-centre, then the sheet will need to be cut along its length, and the end rafter installed 39mm lower than the other, to allow the flat of the sheet to sit level.
8. When the roof is fitted against a host wall, it can be over flashed with lead or a synthetic alternative. Alternatively, the dedicated aluminium EZ Glaze Wall Flashing can be used - it is pre-formed, so no need to dress over the corrugations.
