Lean To Roof (Easy Roof)

Minimise the division between a glazed roof with folding or sliding doors below by having a fully integrated thermally broken aluminium lean-to roof system specially designed and made to measure to your exact requirements.

Removing the need of additional structural support with an integral I-beam steel hidden within the roof structure which then sits on your wall or supports on either side. Accommodating clear spans up to 6m and offering a built in horizontal aluminium colour matched gutter.

With other conventional aluminium roof systems, the base of the glass units and rafters are left exposed where they over sail into the guttering which gives very poor insulation and the increased possibility of condensation forming internally on the bottom of the glass units, a familiar problem to many owners of roof systems. With the Sunflex lean to roof system this problem is eliminated. The rafters and the base of the glass units remain insulated within our roof beam structure ensuring a far superior insulated roof.

Built-in steel I-beam removing the need of additional structural support.
Structural I-beam is pre-cambered and after the glass has been installed, use the built-in Allen key adjustment to level this off prior to installing the doors below.
Three different rafter sizes, including structurally reinforced, depending upon projection and pitch. This removes the need for any intermediate purlins up to 5m projections.
The rafters and the base of the glass units remain insulated within our roof beam structure ensuring a far superior insulated roof when compared to other manufacturers.
Door and window frames have a neat weathertight connection directly to the underside of the eves beam with no requirement to space them apart on wider spans to cater for roof deflection.
