Sunglaze Side Base 6.0m

The Sunglaze Side Base 6.0m is the structural track of the Sunglaze side joiner, used to finish the edge of a roof where the sheets have been cut down in width. It fixes to the perimeter of the structure first, and the cut edge of the sheet sits into it before the side cap locks over the top. In the side joiner assembly, the base carries the load at the edge of the roof.

The profile is supplied in a 6.0m length and is installed along the perimeter of the roof run. Fixing the base securely matters, because it anchors the trimmed sheet edge and transfers wind load and panel weight into the structure. It is aluminium, so it resists corrosion and stays rigid in exposed positions.

The side base is the piece that makes a cut sheet edge structurally sound rather than just dressed. Skipping it and simply trimming a sheet to fit leaves the edge unsupported and the perimeter weak. The proper base keeps the whole edge of the roof held down and sealed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the side base for?

The side base is the structural track of the side joiner. It fixes to the perimeter of the structure and the cut edge of the sheet sits into it, anchoring the trimmed edge and transferring load into the frame.

Why do trimmed sheets need a side joiner at all?

Cutting a sheet down in width leaves a raw, unsupported edge. The side joiner gives that edge a proper track to sit in, seals it, and finishes it. Without it the perimeter is weak and open to water and debris.

What length is supplied?

The side base is supplied as a 6.0m length. Trim it on site to suit a shorter edge run, or join sections for a longer perimeter and discuss supply with the store if the run is well over 6.0m.

Does the side base suit all Sunglaze sheets?

Yes. It is a standard part of the Sunglaze side joiner system and works with every panel colour in the range, as long as the sheet has been cut to the matching width.

Can I buy the side joiner set together?

Yes. Order the side base, side cap, side cover and side end caps together so the whole edge assembly arrives in one delivery and the profiles match.
