Industrial glazing systems

When daylighting cost is the top priority, CPI’s Industrial Glazing Systems are the most economical daylighting options on the market today, due to our simple yet ingenious patented system design. These cost-effective daylighting systems are ideal solutions for clear story, monitor, saw tooth and vertical windows. With CPI, you can reduce project cost without sacrificing quality. CPI Industrial Glazing Systems feature a standing seam dry glazed translucent polycarbonate material, industrial profile and aluminum interlocking self-support mullion system that provides long span capabilities with no need for an additional purling structure. CPI can either re-glaze an existing sash or provide a completely new sash and glazing. Designed for ease of installation on site -- you can gain substantial savings on engineering expenses and preparation or demolition costs, especially with replacement or retrofit projects. CPI Industrial Glazing Systems offer the following improvements over older single-glazed systems: Twinfix Glazing system is an extensive range of glazing options for both domestic and commercial glazing which includes the innovative Multi-Link-Panel rapid roof glazing product for industrial roof glazing applications. The range includes Glaze-Guard the unique framing glazing system for solid polycarbonate. The Fortress range of structural glazing bars is a comprehensive system stocked in bar length up to 4 metres comprising the ranges S125 and S200, which relate to different spanning capabilities. In addition to bar length we offer a pre-fabrication service for Victorian and Edwardian style conservatories. Available in white, brown and woodgrain, both systems have co-extruded gaskets and clip fit beads.energy efficient window and glazing systems are now available that can dramatically cut energy consumption and pollution sources: they have lower heat loss, less air leakage, and warmer window surfaces that improve comfort and minimize condensation. These high performance windows feature double or triple glazing, specialized transparent coatings, insulating gas sandwiched between panes, and improved frames. All of these features reduce heat transfer, thereby cutting the energy lost through windows. This Resource Page covers basic concepts for specifying window and glazing systems, particularly energy-efficient windows. Careful specification of window and glazing systems is essential to the energy efficiency and comfort of all buildings. glazing specification can reduce energy consumption from 10%-50% below accepted practice in most climates. In internal-load dominated commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings, properly specified fenestration systems have the potential to reduce lighting and HVAC costs 10%-40%. Window and glazing choices should be considered holistically. Once the design team and owner agree on the design problem, window and glazing options can be evaluated. Issues to consider include: Ultimately, the optimum choice of window and glazing systems will depend on many factors including the building use type, the local climate, utility rates, and building orientation.

Polytec ‘Universal Edge’ Bar
is used at the verge ends of lean-to roofs to finish the edges. This bar is used with both ‘Polytec 70’ and ‘Polytec 85’ bars and suitable for 16mm to 25mm thick glazing. The one piece top capping incorporates a side trim to cloak vertical glazing detail.


Provides a strong and simple solution to fix bars at the eaves on top of the windows or up-stands. A flipper gasket seals between the glazing bars. The eaves beam can be fixed from either above or below and is variable pitch from 2.5º to 30º



Polytec Variable Pitch ‘Wallplate’ is very simple to install between 2.5
º to 30º pitch. When screw fixed to the wall, bars bolt onto the wall plate and glazing is pushed up into the glazing aperture and sealed effectively. The wallplate can be conveniently flashed prior to fitting the roof.


‘Polytec 70’ Standard Bar is the smallest and most economical self supporting bar typically used for smaller domestic lean-to applications or over purlins on larger roofs. It has a maximum span of 3.15 metres at 600mm centres and is suitable for 16mm to 25mm polycarbonate sheet.


‘Polytec 85’ Heavy Duty Bar is for larger lean-to roofs or commercial glazing applications where longer spans or heavier loading specifications are required. It has a maximum self supporting span of up to 4.15 metres at 600mm centres and is suitable for 16mm to 25mm polycarbonate sheet or glass units (contact our sales office for spanning details on glass units).


‘Polytec 110’ Super Heavy Duty Bar is used for large roof and low pitch roof glazing applications and is capable of spanning up to 5.4 metres at 600mm centres. The Polytec 110 bar is used exclusively in the System 40 Roof System with 40mm polycarbonate panels. This glazing bar uses a larger wall plate than the standard wall plate.
