Vale Frame Supported Roof Bars

Our PVC Wall Flashing can be used for many different applications and generally used for our glazing bar systems.

The Frame Supported Vale Glazing Bar is a simple, yet widely popular, multi-use, frame supported joining bar. This bars simple design can be utilised to join any glazing flat sheet material of any thickness.

The VALE Glazing Bar is a simple yet hugely popular product allowing users to join ANY glazing sheet material of ANY thickness, with a strong aluminium core and plastic capping. Initially designed for joining Glass panels on lean-to roofs, this bar has also proven very popular with the use of polycarbonate sheeting, all that is needed is a long enough screw! The draw back to this is care needs to be taken to ensure that the VALE Bar is not over-tightened which may cause damage to the glazing sheets. Once secured the PVC Cover Cap clips on ensuring that water can not enter the fixing channel or leak through the roof.  The Glazing bar is 60mm wide and the rubber base gasket is 45mm

BARREL VAULTED ROOFS

The VALE bar is ideal for use in barrel vaulted roofs where the structural frame is shaped to a curve. This is because the bar can be pulled to the correct curvature using the fixing screws to a minimum 3 metre radius curve.  

FIXING VALE BARS DOWN
