Product Information
Full details
The PolyX Aluminium F Section is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors working on roofing or glazing projects requiring a 35mm polycarbonate sheet finish. Its primary benefit is providing a robust, clean-edged seal for the side aspect of installations, ensuring both structural integrity and a polished aesthetic. Please note that this product is sold in a fixed 4-meter length, which may require precise measurement and onsite cutting to fit specific project dimensions.

FAQs
Can I use this with 25mm sheets?
No, the PolyX Aluminium F Section is specifically engineered for 35mm sheets. Using it on thinner material will result in an insecure fit.
What tools do I need to cut the 4-meter length?
A standard hacksaw with a fine-tooth blade for metal or a chop saw fitted with a non-ferrous metal cutting blade is recommended.
Is the brown finish weather-resistant?
Yes, the coating is designed for exterior use and provides excellent resistance to UV rays and precipitation.
Does this section come with pre-drilled holes?
No, the product does not come pre-drilled, allowing you to customize the placement of fixings according to your specific support structure.
Can this be painted to a different color?
While the factory finish is durable, you can paint it with a suitable metal primer and exterior-grade paint if a color change is required.
Troubleshooting
Profile is too tight to slide onto the sheet
Ensure the polycarbonate sheet is exactly 35mm and not bowed; check the edge for plastic burrs or excess sealant from the sheet manufacture.
Profile feels loose on the edge
Apply a bead of neutral-cure silicone inside the channel of the F-section before sliding it onto the polycarbonate to create a permanent, tight seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your polycarbonate sheet edge is clean and free of factory debris. Measure your roof run and cut the aluminium section to size using a hacksaw or an aluminium-rated chop saw. Slide the F-profile onto the edge of the 35mm sheet, ensuring it is fully seated. For added security in high-wind zones, you may use a small amount of neutral-cure silicone. To maintain the finish, simply wipe the aluminium with a damp cloth and a mild detergent annually to prevent salt or grime buildup.
