Sunglaze Side Cap 6.0m

The Sunglaze Side Cap 6.0m is the finishing profile for the edge of a Sunglaze roof where the sheet has been cut down in width. When a solid polycarbonate panel is trimmed to fit, the cut edge is raw and needs a joiner to finish it. The side cap locks over that cut edge and, together with the side base, forms the side joiner that seals and dresses the edge of the run.

The profile is supplied in a 6.0m length and is part of the Sunglaze side joiner set, which also includes the side base and the side cover. The side cap sits on the visible outer face of the edge, so it carries the clean line of the standing seam roof right to the perimeter.

Using the proper side joiner rather than leaving a cut edge exposed is what keeps the roof watertight at the perimeter and gives the installation a professional finish. The aluminium profile resists corrosion and needs no painting, so the edge stays sharp for years.

What You Need To Complete The Job

The side cap works with the Sunglaze Side Base, which fixes the edge joiner to the structure, and the Sunglaze Side Cover that finishes the inner face. The Sunglaze Side End Caps close the ends of the side joiner. All parts are in the Sunglaze category.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the side cap used?

It is used at the perimeter of a Sunglaze roof where the sheets have been cut down in width. A trimmed sheet leaves a raw cut edge, and the side cap locks over it to seal and finish the edge of the run.

Does the side cap work on its own?

No. It is part of the side joiner set and works with the side base and side cover. The base fixes the assembly to the structure and the cover finishes the inner face, so order the set.

What length is supplied?

The side cap is supplied as a 6.0m length. For an edge run shorter than 6.0m, trim it on site. For longer runs, join sections cleanly or talk to the store about supply.

Is the side joiner needed for a full-width sheet?

No. If a sheet is used at its full manufactured width, the manufactured edge is already finished and does not need the side joiner. The side joiner is only for edges that have been cut down.

Will the aluminium cap match the rest of the roof?

Yes. It is part of the same Sunglaze aluminium range, so it carries the same finish as the rafter and joiner profiles and reads as one continuous line around the roof.
