For glazing, the veranda is suitable both monolithic and cellular polycarbonate. The material is attached to the instruction that needs to be studied before the start of installation work. We choose the thickness depending on the functional purpose of the room (there is a heating, whether it is used in winter) and its area.

You can carry out glazing both at the construction work stage and during operation.

It is advisable to mount polycarbonate on a metal frame

Works are performed quickly due to the fact that the material is easily processed and mounted.

If the polycarbonate is glazed in the construction veranda at the construction stage, before fully drying the foundation, the metal frame should be built in its base.

For installation you will need:

• Cellular or monolithic polycarbonate sheets;
• aluminum tape, end profiles;
• steel connectors;
• sealant, mounting foam;
• selflessness, anchor, thermoshaba;
• Bulgarian, drill, screwdriver;
• Construction level, roulette;
• marker.

With glazing polycarbonate on the foundation there will be no significant load, in this connection, it is enough to pour a tape or pile base.

Glazing veranda with their own hands

Consider how to perform glazing the veranda in the house of polycarbonate with your own hands.

Stages of glazing walls:

1. Fixed on the foundation Metal frame, it can be made of chambers, corners, steel pipes.
2. On the frame, we mount a wooden crate with a step of 600-800 mm, for its manufacture, we use a 50-100 mm bar in cross section.
3. The upper cut is closed with an aluminum ribbon, downstairs at a distance of 10-15 mm from the frame make drainage holes for condensate removal.
4. To the crate strictly in terms of the level of polycarbonate sheets with pre-drilled holes under the self-tapping screw with a step of 400-500 mm.
5. The diameter of the opening must be 1.5 mm more than the thickness of the screw. We dress the thermoshair on the self-tapping screw, they will prevent the formation of the cold bridge.
6. All joints fill in the sealant.

Open sections of sections need to close an aluminum-based ribbon or special profiles. The protective film is removed after the end of the work, it protects the material from mechanical damage.

Roof mounting

Before starting work, you need to make a drawing and calculate the roof slope. If the roof is manufactured in the form of the arch, it is desirable not to make a bend radius of more than 6 degrees.

The easiest way to make a single roof, attaching one end to the wall of the house.

Stages of work:

• Mount the wooden rafters under the desired angle of inclination;
• We establish a laminate from a wooden bar with a step equal to half the width of the sheet;
• drills holes for fasteners, put polycarbonate, fixing on the tapping screws with thermoshabami, the fastener step should be 300-400 mm;
• We calculate the installation of the crate so that the stakes of the sheets fall on the bar, and not under the emptiness.

Polycarbonate can be glazed the walls of the veranda or mount the roof from it of any form. The terrace made of polycarbonate will harmoniously fit into the design of the country house. When the veranda is glazed, transparent sheets with matte and color copies can be combined.

Polycarbonate glazing recommendations

Position the cellular polycarbonate so that the air channels are located vertically

To mount correctly, you need to follow the following rules:

1. Air canals in cellular polycarbonate should be located in the vertical direction.
2. When working with the arched structures of Genne, the material in the direction of air canals.
3. For cutting sheets use a construction knife, circular saw or electric jigsaw.
4. The holes for the thermoshau must be 10-15 mm larger the fastener diameter to compensate for the leaf expansion under the action of heat.
5. The protective film is removed immediately after the end of construction work, if you do not remove on time, then under the action of sunlight, it adhesively sticks to the material, it will be very difficult to remove it. For details on how to close the veranda polycarbonate, see this video:

The veranda made of polycarbonate looks beautiful, protects against atmospheric influences, has high heat conservation indicators and serves as a reliable obstacle to penetrate intruders.
