How to Install Suntuf - Measure

Step 1 - Measure

Measure the width of your roofing structure and divide by 600mm, this will give you the amount of Panels, Standard and Edge Glazing Bars required.
If your roofing structure does not divide 600mm evenly, end panels will need to be cut to size and fixed to structure using an Edge Glazing Bar.

An overhang of minimum 50mm over the gutter is recommended. Cut Panels on the reverse side to length minus 3mm for every 1 metre of the Glazing Bars to allow expansion and contraction. Use a circular skill saw with a fine-tooth blade.
