Global roof design features Single bolt system Aluminium roof option Unique single fixing bolts are fastened internally for easy and quick installation.

Global roof top cappings are available in aluminium and supplied in woodgrain foiled or painted finishes to specification, so they will not warp...

Cross-bracing internal tie bars may be required to ensure roof stability, according to specification. Global roof tie bars are elegantly designed and do not significantly intrude into the head room of the conservatory. End caps have a shoulder around the visible face for a more attractive appearance and have been designed with built-in drainage to relieve any trapped water. Insulated box gutter Global’s innovative box gutter is...

Low level gasket system When tightened, the precision engineered security locking bolt locates firmly into a dedicated channel and eradicates movement between the bolt and rafter, for a strong and rigid anti-slip joint connection.
