Verandas & Carports

Do you provide an installation service?

Yes, we do. Unlike most other online retailers, we do provide an installation service. Costs depend upon the size of veranda/carport required and where you are located. Please contact us on 01942 871183 for a quote.

 

The length refers to the measurement along the wall of the property and the projection refers to the measurement coming away from the property.

 
 

No, you simply go “up to” the next size.

 
 

Simply go to the nearest “up to” size. For example, if you want a glass veranda that measures 5.3m in length x 3m projection you would go to the 5.5m option and also select a projection of 3.2m – this will give you your price (as well as selecting frame colour and support post length).

 
 

Select the 3m option as these can be cut down on site.

The verandas and carports are available in either 5, 10, 15 or 20 degree pitches. You need to specify the pitch required in the additional notes section at checkout; alternatively, you can email sales@glazingsystems.co.uk once you’ve placed your order.

The glass on our glass roof verandas is 6mm toughened glass.

The polycarbonate sheet is 16mm triple wall and is available in clear, bronze or opal.

 

The veranda systems we offer have an integrated eaves beam/gutter. The rainwater comes down the roof into the eaves beam/gutter and then drains out through the legs; which act as your downspouts. Upon installation, you create a hole in the eaves beam/gutter directly where the leg goes underneath.

 

Each leg comes with an aluminium foot which bolts down to the paving or decking. This foot has an upstand which slides and fixes into the leg. You’ll need to leave a 10mm gap when fixing the fit in place inside the leg. Water then comes down the leg and out through the 10mm gap in the foot plate.

 

First of all, order 3m legs. Then you’ll need to create a concrete pad to fix the foot to. You then install the leg and build around it once done.

They are powder coated aluminium frames.

Our standard colours are white or anthracite grey. However, we can do whatever colour you need. We will need a RAL number and it may cost more to do these. We would need to quote you.

 

It is 100mm high.

 

Glazing Bars

What are glazing bar system and how it works?

You have 2 types – rafter supported glazing bars and self supporting glazing bars. Rafter supported glazing bars are the type that are fixed to a timber or other frame and come with either a snap down or aluminium capped screw down system. The self supporting glazing bar is needed where you do not have a frame supporting the roof.

 
 

Spacings vary between 7.5mm to 10mm – check the details on the glazing bar product page.

On the PVC capped snap down bars, we offer white or brown. On the aluminium capped ones, our standard colours are white or brown but we can offer any colour providing you can give us a RAL number.

 

Yes, we do. Call 01942 871183 for a quote.

 
 

We can offer you a “roof in a box”. Just let us know what you need

 
 

The snap down bars will only do between 10mm and 25mm. Our aluminium bars will do any thickness PLUS snap down bars should only be used for polycarbonate NOT glass.

 
 
 

Approx 10 years+

 
 
 

Anything over 2.4m projection should be supported with a purlin when using self supporting glazing bars.

 
 
 

Smoke Vents

Can I use my AOV for access onto the roof?

Yes.

 
 
 

If you are using a smoke detection system or it is linked to a fire alarm switch in your building management system, it will automatically open once it detects smoke.

 
 
 
 

The term AOV stands for Automatic Opening Vent and is used to help vent smoke in the event of a fire.

 
 
 
 
 

Annually at least – this is a service we provide.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Yes, through a building management system.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Yes. Contact us for details.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

No but we have a large selection of sizes.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Ideally 90 degrees.
