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?
- Don’t take heavy material with you on the ladder (3-point contact rule)! If possible,
use a crane to lift the material.
• If you are going on the roof, make sure there is a walking surface that is wide enough and that
supports on the beams of the lower structure.
•When using an aerial work platform: always wear and secure your harness (mandatory)! Leaving
the cage is forbidden.
• Never walk backwards on a roof, always walk forwards.
• Make sure there’s enough light in the working zone.
Low-hanging obstacles and falling loads
• Forbidden to walk under or within a radius of 1 m of a hanging or lifted load.
• Demarcate the danger zone below the zone where there is a risk of material falling down
during the installation of the veranda.
• It’s prohibited to enter these danger zones during construction.
Crushing hazard
• All working tools are in good condition, provided with a valid CE label and all necessary safety
regulations. These cannot be removed.
• People who use these working tools are educated for this purpose. Protections are always
present on all working tools. They are in good condition and need to be set correctly.
Tripping/falling
•Safety is key and it begins with order and tidiness. Clean everything immediately, leave nothing
lying around.
• Trash needs to be sorted.
• Be cautious with electric cables (danger of tripping/falling). Never walk backwards!
• Make sure there’s enough light in the working zone.

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.
• Parts of more than 25 kg must be lifted with at least 2 persons.
Personal protective equipment
• Work clothes, safety shoes and helmet are mandatory for everyone.
• Lifeline and harness are mandatory if the edge is not secured enough or if there are no safety nets below the
veranda roof. They are also necessary when using an aerial working platform.
• Use gloves when handling veranda parts.
• Safety glasses and hearing protection are mandatory when using saws / grinders.
Always perform a Last Minute Risc Analysis!
If in doubt: STOP! Do not take unnecessary risks. Ask your supervisor if needed.

General installation tips
Please read this manual carefully.
The installation must be carried out by people with sucient technical knowledge and experience in the area of conservatory
installation. The installer must take the required safety measures into account during the installation such as the use of
scaolding and personal protection equipment (safety shoes, helmet (i.e. a hard hat), gloves, safety goggles, etc.) to ensure
the work is carried out in a safe environment. During installation, please make sure that the necessary precautions have been
taken to ensure the stability of the unfinished construction.
Fixing material
The selection of required fixing material is dependent on the foundation or the walls. Check whether the foundation and
the walls on which the structure is to be anchored have a sucient load-bearing capacity. The installer is responsible for
the assessment of the appropriate fixing materials for the load and foundation on which the structure is to be fixed. Please
contact your fixing material supplier or specialised engineering consultants in case of doubts. Skylux cannot be held liable for
the installation or the fixing materials used.
Static (Statik)
For roofs where the static (Statik) is required, please use the special static pieces
Please find the special installation instructions for posts at page 18-19 and for the gutter at page 24-25.
Seal installation
A distinction is made between push-in seals and slide seals.
The seal of a push-in seal is pushed into the profiles. The C2CX, C12, C8, CY10 and C31 seals are push-in seals.
Slide seals C1CX and C5 are slid into the profiles.
Seals C1CX and C2CX are equipped with an anti-stretch wire that prevents the seal from being stretched during installation.
This technology ensures that the seal cannot shrink after installation.
Avoid the use of silicone and detergent when installing the seals. Plastic sheets can be damaged by these products. Plastic
sheets can result in settlement noise due to temperature fluctuations. This will not aect the guarantee and will not be
accepted as a claim.

Measuring your Climax pitched roof
Measurement
Determine height dierence H.
Height dierence H is the dierence between the bottom side of wall profile MB and the bottom surface of the gutter combination. The
stop lip for the window is not included in the calculation.
Height h depends on the thickness of the glazing and the angle of gradient where 1 or multiple thermal bridges Y16P are to be slid in.
Determine the depth (Fig. 2, page 12)
Measure from the wall to the inner side of the support post to determine roof depth D. The additional depth of the gutter is 219 mm.
Determine the width B (Fig. 2, page 12)
Width B of the Climax is the distance between the outer side of the side supports. If the Climax is installed between two walls and a gutter
with screwed-on gutter end pieces is used, you can deduct 5 mm per side from width B. This is because the screws for the gutter end piece
require additional width and additional clearance is recommended.
These measurements can be used to calculate all other measurements using the Climafast calculation application that is made available
free of charge by Skylux. We strongly recommend the use of the calculation application. All possible exceptions are taken into account. The
correct cutting lengths are provided and only correct combinations are suggested. The list of measurements for sizing is always provided
with the materials.

Measuring your Climax saddle roof
Measurement
The ridge of the saddle roof must be attached to at least one wall.
Determine height dierence H.
Height dierence H is the dierence between the bottom side of wall profile MB and the bottom surface of the gutter combination. The
stop lip for the window is not included in the calculation. Height H must be equal at the left and the right.
Height h’ depends on the thickness of the glazing and the angle of gradient where 1 or multiple thermal bridges Y16P are to be slid in.
Determine the depth (Fig. 2, page 13)
Measure the distance from support post P to determine roof depth D. The left depth DL may be dierent from the right depth DR when the
roof is asymmetrical. The maximum depth D is 6 m. The additional depth of the gutter G equals 2x 219.
Determine the width B (Fig. 2, page 13)
Width B of the Climax is the distance between the wall and the exterior of the side support. If the Climax saddle roof is installed between
two walls and a gutter with screwed-on gutter end pieces is used, you can deduct 5 mm per side from width B. This is because the screws for
the gutter end piece require additional width and additional clearance is recommended.
These measurements can be used to calculate all other measurements using the Climafast calculation application that is made available free

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:
- Suciently load-bearing to anchor the roof.
- Free of obstacles such as water drains, window sills, etc.
Make a slot in the walls against which the conservatory roof is to be installed.
Install a lead slab or zinc flashing. We refer to page 11: Measuring your Climax pitched roof. Height = first joint above HM + H and at most 60
mm above the wall profile.
Floor
Ensure that the foundation can carry the load. Have an architect determine the required foundation. Implement measures to remove
rainwater from the roof.
Precautions
Protect the finished profiles against scratches and dents during installation.

General tips and maintenance instructions
uAlmost all silicones affect the
acrylic or polycarbonate. Ask for the
silicone types approved for use with
acrylic and polycarbonate (proof of
guarantee).
uThe vapours of these kits must never
come into the canals of the sheet. The
ventilation holes and the sides of the
obturator profiles cannot be sealed.
The silicone must always evaporate
freely.
uSome sealings contain softening
agents (as used in some rubber,
PVCu, polyurethane), which cause
little splits. Only use approved sea-
lings.
uNever use black or darkcoloured
rubber to prevent from heat accu-
mulation.
uA lead flashing may rest on the rub-
ber but never on the sheets.
uSome paints, varnishes and timber
protectors affect the acrylic and poly-
carbonate.
uNever spray insecticides on the
sheets. This could affect the sheets.
2. SILICONES, RUBBER AND
TIMBER PROTECTORS
You just bought a high-quality
synthetic sheet.
To avoid problems during its
installation, please follow these
installation instructions thou-
roughly.
May we ask you to have special
attention for: expansion space/
silicone and timber protectors/
rubber.
uMake sure you consider the safety
instructions about working on roofs.
Polycarbonate sheets : very
important! These sheets must
always be installed with the UV
protected side turned to the out-
side/top. This “sunside” is spe-
cially marked on the protection
film.
uThe synthetic adhesive tape or the
temporary aluminium tape only keeps
the sheets dustfree during transport.
It must definitely be taken off! It is
necessary to use adapted aluminium
tapes and/or obturators. (See point 6
page 9).
uThe support construction must be
solid and stable (consult the instruc-
tions for the timber and metall con-
struction). In function of the type
of sheet, transversal supports can be
needed. Take the respective charges
500 N/m² or 750 N/m² into con-
sideration to use certain maximum
lengths without transversal support
according to the type of sheet (See
table page 10).
uWarmth-accumulation: the upper
side of the support structure, turned
to the sheets, must be WHITE reflec-
tive.
uFor this, use white dispersion paint
(dilute in water or paint without sol-
vent) or use preferably aluminium
tape. Attention: after having paint
the support construction, it must dry!
Only install the sheets afterwards.
NEVER install the synthetic sheets
directly on the timber.
4. INSTALLATION
Synthetic sheets shrink and extend
under the influence of temperature
fluctuations. Please take next tips
into consideration:
uYou must foresee 5 mm play per
meter sheet length and 10 mm play in
the width (5 mm per side). e.g: a sheet
of 3000 mm needs a margin of 1,5
cm in the length.
uNever block the sheet in the width
or the length. Sufficient margin is
needed.
uNever stick the sheet into silicone
(even synthetic friendly silicone). You
would prevent the shrinking and the
dilatation of the sheet.
uAs the sheet is stopped at the
bottom against gliding, you must fore-
see all margin space at the top.
1. MARGIN SPACE
5 mm 5 mm
uRoof tiles must not rest on the
sheets! There must be at least 10 mm
space between the sheets and the roof
covering.
uTo seal the opening between the
sheet and the gutter beam, use a spe-
cial weather strip (sealing rubber C6).
(See page 2 fig. 6). Do not spout or
fill with PU foam.
uWe formly advise against installing
underceilings underneath the acry-
lic (PMMA) sheets. If sunblinds or
other accessories are installed, make
sure you install these 120 mm from
the sheet. The accessories cannot be
insulated and are preferably reflective.
There are no specific precautions for
polycarbonate sheets.
uWIDTH DIVISION OF THE
SHEETS:
WE RECOMMEND: standard sheet
width and a adapted piece for the two
outer sheets. This must certainly be
done with the S5P Heatstop sheets.
WE STRONGLY ADVISE
AGAINST: sawing the sheets in equal
parts (in the width) Take the standard
sheet width into account.
The closed sides also
determine the mechanic
strength of the sheet!
uFor applications with glass, you
always need to follow the instructions
of the glass producer !
5. GLASS
uClean the sheets annually with
tepid rainwater. You can add some
non aggressive household soap (no
detergent!) Never use any solvents
or abrasives.
uNever rub dry (scratches)
uOnly rinse off.
3. MAINTENANCE
The installation instructions are only of advisory and informative nature. The installation is the sole responsibility of the customer.
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PUBLISHER TOWARDS THE INSTALLATION IS EXPLICITLY DECLINED.

6. DRAINAGE AND CONDENSATION
uInstall the sheets with inclination or
vertically, never horizontally (unless
interior use).
uMinimum inclination: 10° (18 cm
per meter) or more.
uThe direction of the sheet canals
must always go along with the roof
inclination.
7. SHEET DIRECTION

uType of saw blade:
1. hard metal (for ca 50 m/s)
uMake sure that the bottom NEVER
stands in water (moss and algae).
uCondensation in the canals is not
100% inevitable (physical phenome-
non).
Acrylic and polycarbonate are very
less gas- and dampproof. The charac-
teristics of the material and the gua-
rantee are not diminished because of
this. An appropriate sealing is recom-
mended.
uAlways use a grease pencil to make
notes on the protection film (felt pen
is difficult to remove)
uTo ensure a fest clamping during the
sawing, you should always make sure
that a raised rib is as near as possible
by a sawed edge.
9. SAWING AND DRILLING
uWhen sawing, use a hard metal saw
(widea) with high rotation speed. Saw
slowly and by preference with one
move. Use new or sharpened saw bla-
des. Make sure the sides are always
smooth.
ATTENTION: The basis on which the
sheets are sawn, must be stable and
vibration-free. The sheets must not
move during sawing. The saw blade
must slightly reach out of the sheet.
uRemove all dust and sawing rests
from the canals with pure compressed
air or a powerful vacuum cleaner.
uOnly remove the protection film
after installation to avoid scratches.
uDrilling is strongly advised against.
However, if unavoidable, provide with
grooves (shrinking and dilatation).

2. HSS (not more than 40 m/s)
uAvoid direct sunlight on piled
sheets.
uIf you pile the sheets outside, cover
the sheets with white polyethyl foil.
Always keep the synthetic friendly
tape as sealing on the front sides of
the sheets.
uThe sheets must not be piled direct-
ly on the ground. Use appropriate pal-
let boards.
10. PILING
uNever walk or kneel directly on the
sheets. Always use solid timber boards
underneath. Make sure these boards
are supported by the timber construc-
tion.
uMulti-walled synthetic sheets with
thin walls and a high insulating struc-
ture in the sheet, are sensitive to foot,
knee and other impressions at the
surface. Please take enough precau-
tions during transport and installa-
tion. Impressions in the sheet are not
covered by the guarantee.
12. REMEMBER
uAs we already mentioned several
times, synthetic sheets shrink and
dilate under the influence of tempe-
rature fluctuations. When they move
with regard to the roof construction,
there can be some creak noises. There
is no danger for the sheets if they
have been installed according to the
installation instructions.
u Screwed clipses cause more creak
noises with synthetic sheets .
u If you would like to avoid crack
noises, we advise you to always use
the TP and TPH profiles. The TP can
expand and shrink with the synthetic
sheets or alu sandwich sheets.
14. DILATATION NOISES
Dust and damp may not enter into the
cell structure:
uA combination of BT 16/25/32
at the top and BB 16/25/32 with
U16/25/32P at the bottom, stops
dust of > 50μm from entering the cell
structure.
uThe underside is provided with a
perforated aluminium filter tape.
To protect the tape, use the U16P/
U25P/U32P or a U profile with per-
forations of Ø 3.5 mm, installed every
20 cm.
uSeal the profile with synthetic
friendly silicone to prevent water infil-
tration maximally.
u Wet the edge of sheets with no-
drop layer and dry it afterwards before
taping the sheet.
uIf you install sun protection, you
must do this on the upper side of the
sheets: e.g. on the outside.
Attention:
Do not put the sun protection directly
on the sheet!
You can also buy sunproof sheets
(PC: Primalite Clear, Reflex Pearl,
Relax - PMMA: S5P Heatstop) or
install a Skylux conservatory dome.
11. SUN PROTECTION
uThe multi-walled synthetic sheets
resist normal snow load. You can find
the maximum snow load on the tech-
nical files per sheet type and size. In
case of heavy snow fall, we recom-
mend to regularly clear the snow.
The conservatory roof must also be
protected against snow falling from a
higher situated roof.
13. SNOW AND SNOW PILE
uOnly use sheets with identic pro-
duction number per project to avoid
colour differences.
uFor applications with glass: see
Pergolux Glass.
15. FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS
uMulti-walled synthetic sheets may
reflect the sunlight to the inside or
the outside in case of direct sunlight
(following the orientation or the
inclination). This is a normal situation
which does not affect the sheet gua-
rantee.
