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?

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.

Rafters and side rafters The rafters are pre-cut at the wall and gutter side. The slot at the wall side corresponds tot the rib of the wall profile. Check the rafter lengths in function of the glazing + snow and wind load (Use the load graphs on page 35 or calculate using the Climafast calculation application, at disposal for free for professionals).

Rafters and side rafters Installation AX = PL + 22 MM The number of rafters and their position must be determined in function of the glazing and the load.

We recommend removing any snow from the roof to prevent accumulation against the wall by the wind. When snow on a higher roof can slide on to the Climalux roof, measures must be taken to prevent this, for example, by using snow hooks and snow beams.
Load graphs rafters For roofs with plastic sheets or glass The graphs below can be used to determine the free span for the rafter DX. This is the maximum length of the rafter in function of the load and the depth (D) of your roof. The maximum bending is 1/200 (plastic sheets) or 1/300 (glass).
Load graphs gutter profiles For roofs with plastic sheets The graphs below can be used to determine the free span for each type of gutter (support). This is the distance between your supports (posts) in function of the load and the depth (D) of your roof. The maximum bending is 1/200.
