General installation tips
Please read this manual carefully.
The installation must be carried out by people with sufficient technical knowledge and experience in the area of
conservatory installations. The installer must take the required safety measures into account during the installation
such as the use of scaffolding and personal protection equipment - safety shoes, helmet (i.e. hard hat), gloves,
safety goggles, etc. - to ensure the work is carried out in a safe environment. During installation, please make sure
that the necessary precautions have been taken to ensure the stability of the unfinished construction.
Fixing material
The selection of required fixing material is to be made in function of the foundation or the walls. Check whether
the foundation and the walls on which the structure is to be anchored have a sufficient load-bearing capacity. The
installer is responsible for the assessment of the appropriate fixing materials for the load and foundation on which
the structure is to be fixed. Please contact your fixing material supplier or specialised engineering consultants in
case of doubts. Skylux cannot be held responsible for the installation or the fixing materials used.
Seal installation
A distinction is made between push-in seals and slide seals.
The seal of a push-in seal is pushed into the profiles. The C2CX, C8 and CY10 seals are push-in seals.
The slide seals C1CX & C3 are slid into the profiles.
The seals C1CX and C2CX are equipped with an anti-stretch wire that prevents the seal from being stretched
during installation. This technology ensures that the seal cannot shrink after installation.
Avoid the use of silicone and detergent when installing the seals. Plastic sheets can be damaged by these products.
Plastic sheets can result in settlement noise due to temperature fluctuations. This will not affect the guarantee and
will not be accepted as a claim.
