Skygard Patent Glazing Bars
We stock SkyGard roof glazing systems that are ideal for commercial and domestic projects.
Traditional Glazing Bars
SkyGard is a traditional inverted ‘T’ bar design ideal for unheated spaces such as canopies, walkways, verandahs, car ports, shelters or railway stations. The simple design of this rafterline patent glazing system means it is suitable for both new build or refurbishment including heritage buildings where a traditional patent glazing system is required. Easy to install, external capping systems, SkyGard glazing bars offer exceptional value to the building owner and fast installation times for contractors.

Patent Glazing Bar FAQs
What are SkyGard glazing bars used for?
SkyGard glazing bars are suitable for single glazing from 6mm to 9.5mm. Whilst not thermally broken, SkyGard glazing bars are also suitable for double or triple glazed rooflights with the benefit of a traditional appearance suitable for heritage rooflights. Typical applications include glass canopies, glazed walkways and station roof glazing for commercial buildings, or domestic conservatories and domestic kitchen extension roof glazing.
What are continuous pressure beads?
Continuous pressure beads are aluminium beads that are fitted either side of the glazing bar to securely clamp the glass of the patent glazing together.
