TRADITIONAL GLAZING BARS
SkyGard is a traditional inverted ‘T’ bar design ideal for unheated spaces such as canopies, walkways, verandahs, car ports, shelters or rail platforms. The simple design means it is suitable for both new build or refurbishment including heritage buildings where a traditional patent glazing system is required. Easy to install, SkyGard glazing bars offer exceptional value to the building owner and fast installation times for contractors.
“We were able to glaze over 30% more area per day at Waterloo using SkyGard than on previous contracts using our old supplier” Mr Steve Arthurs, Project Management Contracts Ltd.
