FAQs

Can I use this on 16mm polycarbonate sheets?

No, the PolyX Aluminium F Section is specifically engineered for 25mm sheets and will not fit securely on thinner material.

Is the finish weather-resistant?

Yes, the aluminium is treated with a durable finish designed to withstand outdoor exposure and harsh weather conditions.

Does this section come with fixing screws?

No, screws or adhesives for securing the profile are typically sourced separately depending on the specific frame requirements.

How do I cut the aluminium to size?

A standard hacksaw with a fine-toothed blade is the recommended tool for cutting the aluminium profile.

Will this rust over time?

Aluminium is naturally resistant to rust, making this an ideal material for outdoor roofing applications.

Troubleshooting

The profile is difficult to slide onto the sheet

Ensure there are no plastic burrs on the edge of the polycarbonate sheet. If the fit is tight, apply a small amount of soapy water as a lubricant.

The profile feels loose

Verify that your polycarbonate sheet is exactly 25mm thick. If the sheet is thinner, a strip of weather-resistant tape can be applied to the edge of the sheet before fitting the profile.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects sheet edges from water ingress and debris
  • High-quality aluminium construction ensures durability
  • Provides a clean, professional finish for roofing projects
  • Easily cuts to length for custom installations
  • Specifically sized for standard 25mm polycarbonate sheets

Cons

  • Not compatible with polycarbonate thicknesses other than 25mm
  • Brown finish may not match all building aesthetics
  • Requires proper measuring to avoid material waste during cutting
  • Aluminium can conduct heat if not properly ventilated

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first measure the length of your polycarbonate sheet precisely. Use a fine-toothed hacksaw to cut the aluminium profile to size, ensuring all burrs are filed down to prevent scratching the sheet surface. Slide the F section onto the edge of the 25mm sheet until it sits flush. For permanent applications, use a neutral-cure silicone sealant compatible with polycarbonate before sliding the profile into place to ensure a watertight bond. Maintenance is minimal; simply wipe the surface with mild soapy water and a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt, avoiding abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the brown finish.
