Removing conservatory roof glazing bars..
Hello,
I need to remove one panel of double cavity twin-wall polycarbonate in the roof of my conservatory in order to do some work on the wall above. I am wondering if anyone has any tips on whether the glazing bars can be removed by prising up on their bottom ends as a start. Is there any other way of freeing them while causing no damage so that both bars and panel can be reinstated once the work is done ? I am presuming that it would not be possible to slide the panel down or down and out and replace it without taking off the bars on either side. Thank you for reading, and for your thoughts. David G |

David G Most of them are like this:- http://www.screwfix.com/prods/32612/...ate-Bar-3000mm They are a pain in the arse to prise out. There is a "crocodile teeth" arrangement. The polycarbonate only goes in one way up BTW. Only one side is UV resistant. It breaks if it has been put in wrongly and degraded. Remember when putting back. |
