General installation tips
Please read this manual carefully.
The installation must be carried out by people with sucient technical knowledge and experience in conservatory installation.
The installer must take the required safety measures into account during installation such as the use of scaolding and
personal protective equipment (safety shoes, helmet, gloves, safety goggles, etc.) to ensure the work is carried out in a
safe environment. During installation, the necessary precautions must be 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 sucient 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)
All guidelines and parts mentioned in this manual must be used and applied correctly to comply with the Static (Statik).
Polycarbonate plastic sheets
Only use polycarbonate sheets of Skylux. These sheets must always be installed with the UV protected side facing upwards.
This “sun side” is always marked on the protective foil. The sheet ends must be taped with the supplied aluminium-coloured
tape. This avoids dust and dirt from entering the sheets. Polycarbonate is not completely damp proof. Condensation in the
channels may occur (physical phenomenon). Avoid using silicone because it can aect the plastic sheets. Plastic sheets can
produce contraction or expansion sounds due to change in temperature. This does not influence the guarantee and is not
accepted as a damage claim.
