Safety Take the necessary and required safety precautions, such as safety nets and lifelines when installing from the outside, safety goggles, gloves, hard hat, etc. Do not step on the glass. Falling from height • When using ladders to go on the roof: - Ladder in good condition? - Set up correctly at an angle of 75°? - Secured below and on top against moving?
Page 3
Sharp objects • Make sure your fingers/hands are not pinched and watch out for cuts while handling veranda parts. • Be careful where you put your hands during the installation. • Wearing cut-resistant gloves is mandatory. Ergonomics • Always lift loads correctly: bend your knees, move your feet instead of forcing your spine, lift as close to your body as possible.

Preparation The Climax roof can be delivered cut-to-size to reduce the installation time. The seals and certain other components are, when possible, fixed onto or into the profiles for the preinstalled roof system. Walls Check that the walls, against which the structure is to be installed, are: - Sufficiently load-bearing to anchor the roof.

Install a lead slab or zinc flashing. Drill a hole on the indicated line in the bottom wall profile MB at 250 mm from the ends and, subsequently, every 500 mm.
Supports and side supports The following (side) supports are possible: Sheet supports TP (white) are used for roofs with glazing plastics. Sheet supports TPG (green) are used for roofs with glass (single or double glazing). A steel reinforcement profile must be slid into the supports for a large span or an expected heavy snow load. Check the support length in relation to the glazing + snow and wind load (see the graphs of page 47 - 51 or use the Climafast calculation application.) Support...

Supports and side supports Assembly AX = PL + 22 MM The number of supports and their position is determined in relation to the glazing and the load. Check the length of the support with regard to the depth of the conservatory and the load (glazing + snow and wind); see the graphs on pages 47 - 51 or use the Climafast calculation application.

Supports and side supports INSTALLATION USING CONNECTORS AND GLASS A1/A2 D1/D2/D3 Fasten connectors K on to the hinge profiles using parker screws PST. Drill holes with a Ø of 4 mm in advance at the indicated lines (left and right) of the connector. The holes are to be drilled to the left and right of the support, both on the wall and gutter side. Cut away one wing of the connector when installing the side supports using K connectors to ensure that the connector is not in the way laterally with regard to the finishing profile.

Glazing: plastic sheets Preparation On using plastic sheets, we recommend a roof inclination of 10°. The maximum slope is 20°. Only the left and right sheets are cut to size. Provide the open ends with suitable plastic tape (closed tape BT on the top side = wall side and perforated tape BB on the bottom side = gutter side).

Load graphs for roofs with plastic sheets GUTTER PROFILES The graphs below can be used to determine the free span for each type of gutter (support). This is the distance (P) between the supports (posts) in relation to the load and the depth (D) of the roof. The maximum bending is 1/200. The load is related to the snow and wind load.

Load graphs for roofs with glazing GUTTER PROFILES The graphs below can be used to determine the free span for each type of gutter (support). This is the distance (P) between the supports (posts) in relation to the load and the depth (D) of the roof. The maximum bending for structures with glazing is 1/300. The load is the sum of the weight of the glazing and the snow and wind load applied to the roof.
