Product specification

 Characteristics

• The conservatory roof is an aluminium roof, clad with PVCu cappings, designed and engineered to outperform all current conservatory roof standards.
• A complete and easy to assemble conservatory roof system offering an extensive range of roof designs to suit all profile systems.
• All components and extrusions have a 10 year guarantee and are designed to withstand the extremes of 25 years British weather, offering a low maintenance and corrosion free system.

 Appearance

• Available in white, mahogany, mahogany on white, golden oak, golden oak on white, rosewood and rosewood on white.

 Eaves / ring beam

• The eaves is a PVCu extrusion that fixes to an internal box section, aluminium which provides structural stability.
• The eaves has a bespoke inverted channel extruded into it to accept an integral aluminium swivel that rotates to the pitch of the roof, whilst rafters are attached by means of dual bolt carriers.
• The external wall of the PVCu section has location clips extruded into it to accept the twist and fix O/G gutter brackets.
• The facets are fixed together by bespoke and standard angle aluminium cleats.
• The eaves is designed to give a maximum of a 3mm deflection over a set of double doors anywhere in the UK. The maximum allowance being 5mm.

 Glazing bars

• There are four glazing bars that accomodate every style of roof including both 24mm and 32mm glazing.
• Each glazing bar is designed to accomodate steel reinforcing which allows spans of up to 5000mm to be achieved.

 PVCu cappings and claddings

• All white PVCu cappings are co-extruded with a black nitrile gasket for a weathertight installation.
• Secure positive snap on fixing.
• There are four cappings for each style of roof.
• There is a choice of ogee or square internal claddings.
• Location guides extruded into the bottom rafter and hip claddings for positive location.
• Aluminium rafter cappings are standard on foiled roofs to eliminate PVCu distortion.

 Ridge

• A strong one-piece heavy-duty aluminium extrusion with 15% greater strength over other
  leading systems.
• There are four basic ridge types offering various pitch angles -
  Victorian and Edwardian (15o-23o, 24o-30o and 31o-40o), standard
  Lean to (5o-14o, 15o-23o and 24o-30o), and low pitch Lean to (2.5o-5o)
• Integral screw ports for “Spider” fixing extruded into the ridge.
• Slide in dual bolt carriers that pivot to eliminate stress loading on rafter fixing.
• Location guides extruded into the clip on ridge bottom capping for quick and easy installation.
• Snap on top capping with integral guides for finial and crestings.

 Valley

• Male and female sections that are totally independent. The structural integrity of the roof is taken from the ridge and rafter assembly.
• The valley sections are fully supported on top of the ring beam and on top of the ridge.
• All fixings onto the valley are hidden by cappings.
• The valley has a clip on top capping with a neoprene rubber flexible centre section, enabling the capping to rotate to the roof pitch.
• The valley has two independent interlocking bottom PVCu claddings, which clip into the valley and have a decorative groove.
• The valley is capable of a 4000mm projection on plan.

 Tie-bars

• Stainless steel with PVC co-ordinating sleeve.
• Shepley offers three tie-bar options - standard three-way, fan three-way and five-way tie-bar.
• Tie-bar brackets are made from high grade structural alloy.
• Available in white, brown and brass options.
• The tie-bars are BBA certified independently of all other roof components.

 Spider

• The spider is a one-piece cast aluminium component and is pre-drilled and set in the factory, accommodating up to 13 rafters with large glazing arms.
• Two part pin and grub screw fixing for rafter arms up to the spider.
• Each rafter fitted with a spider arm and purpose made glazing arm cover.
• Hard foam weather seal to complete the weatherproofing.

 Roof pitches

• Low pitch Lean to from 2.5° to 4.99°.
• Bespoke Lean to from 5° to 30°.
• Victorian and Edwardian from 15° to 40°.

 Rainwater system

• High capacity rainwater system (3.5 litre per second water flow capacity) with quick fitting twist and fix gutter brackets hidden within the gutter.
• The gutter is an O/G gutter and has a range of sleeved adapters to locate into most box gutter situation.

 Box gutter

• Aluminium box gutter with insulated flat bottom.
• 174mm wide with increased water capacity to suit all UK domestic and some commercial installations.
• Purpose made support side arms for carrying the eaves beam.
• Full range of gallows brackets.
• Full range of both angled and straight adaptors to join the rainwater system.
• A complete range of fabricated options to include high back extensions, cut outs and bespoke angle cuts.
• The box gutter has its own bespoke snap on capping to cloak all visible aluminium. (excluding the vertical profiles on an elevated box gutter).

 Glazing

• Choice of 25mm or 32mm polycarbonate in clear, bronze, opal, bronze/opal, athermic opal (up to 35% reduction of solar energy transmission).
• Snap in weather tight glazing pockets uniquely locate into the ridge and half ridge section.
• The glazing pockets provide cover of 23mm at the ridge enhancing weather performance.

 Unique fittings

• Dual bolt carriers to enable fast fixing on site.
• Eaves beam provides a weather-tight seal from the eaves to the polycarbonate or glass.
• Ridge fixing bolts to secure the ridge to the host wall.
• Polycarbonate end closures to protect and ventilate the flutes of the polycarbonate.

 Trims
