Fitting Glazing Bar Caps
Select the appropriate glazing bar top cap
by
matching
its
number
with
the
corresponding glazing bar number.
Prior to installing the glazing bar top caps
the top cap rubber gasket must be lubricated
with a solution of mild soapy water (this will
allow the top cap to spread more easily
during installation).
Use a glazing mallet or similar plastic
surfaced mallet to knock on the glazing bar
top caps starting at the top and working
down the glazing bar towards the eaves
beam (A5080).
If your conservatory has a woodgrain finish,
the Georgian hip top caps will comprise of a
foiled aluminium outer case with a PVC
inner connector. These top caps are
positioned over the hip glazing bars and are
attached in the same manner as the other
transom bar top caps.
When the glazing bar top cap is attached,
ensure that the bottom face of the top cap is
aligned with the bottom face of the glazing
bar. Remove the protective film from the
glazing bar top cap.
When assembling the glazing bar top caps
onto the glazing bars, support can be gained
by use of conservatory ladders or by
spreading your leaning weight on boards
positioned across the bars.
Do not put
your weight directly on to the
roof
glazing sheets.
Fitting Glazing Bar End Cap
When the glazing bar top caps are attached
you need to close the end of the glazing bar
by use of the glazing bar end cap (C9038).
The glazing bar end cap is attached to the
glazing bar by two 3.9 x 19mm yellow
screws (C9176). Ensure that the screw
cover caps supplied are used to hide the
screws once fixed in place.
