Muntin Bar PVC Capped

£21.53 £17.94

Muntin bars are used in glass roofs horizontally to join glazing sheets to achieve longer projections.

This PVC capped Muntin bar is suitable for use in conservatory roofs using 24mm double glazed glass units. They are non-structural as the glass unit provides the structural integrity. Glass widths must not exceed 1m.

This bar can be used with our aluminium rafter main bars  or our self support glazing bars  on glass roofs.

This bar is not suitable for glazing with multiwall polycarbonate which is more flexible.

The base of the bar is powder coated aluminium and the PVC top cap has co-extruded gaskets for a watertight finish. 

Length - 3000mm

Width - 45mm

Height - 30mm when glazing a 24mm unit

Colours:  White, Anthracite grey with white base, Rosewood with white base, Golden Oak (cap & base) and Rosewood (cap & base.)

Rosewood on white - white powder coated aluminium base and Rosewood foiled PVC top cap
