Aluminium Sunglaze Cover

The Aluminium Sunglaze Cover is the top piece of the Sunglaze three-part joiner. It clips over the cap after the screws are driven, hiding the fixing heads and giving the roof its clean, continuous top line. It is the part that turns a functional joint into the architectural standing seam look that the Sunglaze system is known for.

The cover is an aluminium profile supplied cut to length from 1.0m to 7.0m. It is not a structural part; it clips on over the cap and sits flush with the rest of the roofline. Because it is the most visible part of the joiner, it is worth keeping the same profile throughout the job so the seams read as one straight line across the roof.

Ordering the cover at the same time as the base and cap avoids a colour or profile mismatch partway through an install. The three pieces are designed as one assembly and should be bought together.

What You Need To Complete The Job

The cover clips over the Aluminium Sunglaze Cap, which in turn locks onto the Aluminium Sunglaze Base. Order all three together so the joiner profile matches along the run. The full set and the Sunglaze sheets are in the Sunglaze category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cover for?

The cover clips over the cap after the locking screws are driven, hiding the screw heads and giving the roof a clean, continuous top surface. It is the finishing piece of the three-part joiner.

Is the cover structural?

No. The base carries the load and the cap seals the joint. The cover is a finishing profile that conceals the fixings and completes the standing seam look. It still needs to be the right profile to sit flush.

What length do I order?

The cover is sold per metre and cut to length from 1.0m to 7.0m. Match it to the length of your joiner run. For runs longer than 7.0m, join sections or contact the store.

Can I reuse a cover if I need to service the joint?

In most cases the cover can be lifted and clipped back on. The important thing is that the cap and base underneath stay undamaged. If the cover is bent during removal, replace it with the same profile to keep the line straight.

Why buy the cover with the base and cap?

The three pieces are designed as one assembly with matched profiles. Buying them together ensures the joiner reads as a single straight line across the roof and avoids a mismatch partway through the job.
