SkylineBox Patent Glazing System

The SkyLine Box Patent Glazing system has an appearance very similar to curtain walling roofing systems but presents a very economical alternative.  Low-profile aluminium capping ensures a smart appearance to the external roof plane.

The SkyLine Box Patent Glazing system is used mostly for high spec contracts for single, double and triple glazed roof glazing systems and where visual appearance is of the highest importance. The strength of the glazing bar is provided by an internal box section, whilst the glazing bar is weathered by a screw on pressure cap (PC1) and a choice of plain (PC2) or ornate (PC3) cosmetic outer snap-on cappings to conceal fixing screws.  

The system is available with a thermal break which delivers a solution compliant with Building Regulations Document L but it is also frequently used successfully for single glazed applications such as feature canopies and unheated spaces.

SkyLine Box is available in four sizes depending on the required span: box section depths of 50mm, 75mm, 100mm and 150mm. The system is capable of spanning up to 7 metres unsupported with double glazed infills weighing 30kg/m².
