Page 4: Safety Information
These products can be very heavy. Extreme care must be taken during handling and installation. Full consideration should be given to how you will safely transport your rooflight product from the delivery vehicle to the installation location. Glazing Vision strongly recommends that specialist, mechanical lifting equipment is employed. - Page 5 (please refer to terms and conditions of sale). Pre-Installation: • Glazing Vision products are heavy, fragile and of awkward shape and size. There may be uneven weight distribution due to the materials used and their design. • The weight(s) of each individual product (or product section) will be clearly marked on the product and will be communicated to clients before despatch of goods.

The Ridgeglaze should arrive on site in undamaged packaging, which includes a wooden build frame, cardboard, polyfoam glass protection and low tack tape. Please inspect for damage to packaging and/or product and advise Glazing Vision of any damage or shortfall within 48 hours from signing the receipt of your delivery. - Page 7 Nothing in this manual or on Glazing Vision’s sales drawings constitutes a structural proposal. Glazing Vision strongly recommends that a ‘dry run’ (without any silicone) is completed before committing to the final installation.

402-INST-UK-003 v1.1 – 11 Dec 2020 Upstand Top Trim Installation (If Specified) Begin by cutting the upstand top trim to the lengths required for all sides of the upstand. The corner joints can either be mitred (45°) or straight cut with notches (see image below). If the material requires bending to suit the pitch of the upstand, this can be achieved by screwing the section to the upstand as below and gently tapping the horizontal part using a clean rubber mallet. -
