What is a rafter bar bridging connector used for?

A rafter bar bridging connector is used to join two rafter supported glazing bars end-to-end, providing structural continuity and a seamless finish on longer roofing runs. It's ideal when polycarbonate sheets exceed standard bar lengths.

Is this connector compatible with all rafter supported bars?

Yes, our rafter bar bridging connectors are designed to fit Storm rafter supported bars for polycarbonate sheet thicknesses between 10mm and 35mm. They simply slot between two bar lengths and secure them together.

Do I need fixings for the bridging connector?

No additional fixings are required. The rafter bar bridging connector fits snugly into the top and base sections of the bars, holding them firmly together once installed.

What colours are available?

The bridging connectors are available in White, Brown, and Grey (RAL 7016) to match our Storm rafter supported glazing bar range.

Is the bridging connector waterproof?

Yes, the connector maintains a watertight join between the glazing bars, helping to protect the roof structure and sheets from water ingress.
