Product Information
Full details
The PolyX Aluminium F Section is designed for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts working with 35mm polycarbonate roofing or wall cladding. It provides a robust, aesthetically pleasing edge trim that secures the side aspect of polycarbonate sheets, ensuring a weather-resistant finish. While it offers superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, it requires precise cutting to match your specific project length and angle requirements.

FAQs
Can this be used on 25mm sheets?
No, this F Section is specifically engineered for 35mm polycarbonate sheets and will not fit thinner variations securely.
Is the finish suitable for outdoor weather?
Yes, the white powder-coated aluminium is designed for external use and is resistant to rust and corrosion.
Can I paint the aluminium to match a different frame color?
While the powder coating is durable, you can use a suitable metal primer followed by outdoor paint if a color change is required.
What tools are recommended for cutting?
A hacksaw with a fine-tooth blade or a mitre saw equipped with an aluminium-cutting blade is recommended for a clean finish.
How do I secure the trim to the wall?
The trim is typically held in place by the pressure of the installation and can be sealed against the wall using a neutral-cure silicone sealant.
Troubleshooting
Trim is difficult to slide onto the sheet
Check for debris inside the channel or slight burrs on the edge of the polycarbonate sheet. File the sheet edge slightly if necessary.
Trim feels loose on the sheet
Ensure you are using the correct 35mm specification polycarbonate; verify the sheet thickness using calipers.
Pros and Cons

- Weather-resistant and durable against UV exposure
- Specifically calibrated for 35mm sheet thickness

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires measuring the total length of the polycarbonate edge. Use a fine-toothed hacksaw or a circular saw with a non-ferrous metal blade to cut the 4-meter length to size. Avoid using high-heat cutting methods to prevent discoloration of the white powder coating. Compatibility is strictly limited to 35mm thick polycarbonate sheets. To maintain the finish, clean the aluminium periodically with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive scourers that could damage the white coating.
