Our Skyline type glazing bar range was originally developed to give specifiers an alternative to our traditional external stalked glazing bars. The low profile external aluminium capping offers a smart appearance to the external façade of the patent glazing system. As with our other aluminium sections the bar and caps are extruded to our own dies from grade 6063 temper T6 aluminium alloy.

The glazing bar's strength is provided by an internal stalk (or web) and is weathered by a screw on pressure cap with the option of an additional snap-on cap (ref. PC2) to conceal all fixing positions.

When used with double glazing and thermal breaks this system is capable of providing an overall U Value of approximately 1.8W/m²K.

To maintain a low profile within the roof line we remove the internal part of the glazing bar, called the ‘stalk’ at the top and bottom positions where the bars are secured to the supporting structure. A small tolerance is incorporated to allow for some variation within the finished structure, however, accuracy is required within the structure otherwise any variations will become apparent. See image below showing how the stalk is cut away.
