Professional Roofing System Built to Withstand the British Weather
When it comes to securing polycarbonate roofing sheets, choosing the right glazing bar system is critical. The Exitex Capex Snap Down Glazing Bar offers a professional-grade solution that combines strength, weather resistance, and effortless installation. Designed for both trade professionals and experienced DIY installers, this system delivers reliable performance across a wide range of roofing applications.
Available in three premium finishes – White, Brown, and Grey – these glazing bars not only perform exceptionally but also complement the look of your conservatory, canopy, or roofing project.
A Modern Solution for Polycarbonate Roofing
Traditional glazing systems can be time-consuming, difficult to install, and prone to leaks if not fitted perfectly. The Exitex Capex snap down system eliminates these issues with a precision-engineered, two-part design that simplifies installation while maximising durability.
Suitable for 10mm, 16mm, 20mm, and 25mm polycarbonate sheets, this versatile system adapts to a wide range of roofing structures, making it ideal for both new builds and replacement projects.
Engineered Two-Part Design for Strength and Simplicity
At the heart of the Capex system is its intelligently designed two-part construction, combining a strong aluminium base with a high-performance uPVC snap-down cap.
Aluminium Base Rail
The robust aluminium base is designed to be securely fixed to timber rafters, providing a solid structural foundation for your roofing system. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, it ensures long-term stability without adding unnecessary load.
uPVC Snap-Down Cap
The top cap is manufactured from durable, UV-stable uPVC and is designed to snap firmly into place over the base. This eliminates the need for complex fixings or specialist tools.
Simple Installation Process:
- Position the aluminium base
- Secure with fixings
- Place your polycarbonate sheets
- Snap the cap into place
No complicated assembly. No unnecessary delays. Just a clean, professional finish every time.
Triple-Seal Weather Protection System
The UK climate demands roofing systems that can handle heavy rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations. The Exitex Capex glazing bar is engineered with a triple-seal weatherproofing system to ensure maximum protection.
1. Crown Seal Protection
Flexible rubber flapper seals run along the top capping, actively deflecting rainwater, debris, and wind-driven moisture away from the joint.
2. Foundation Seal Technology
Premium EPDM rubber gaskets sit along each side of the aluminium base, creating a tight, impermeable seal between the glazing bar and the polycarbonate sheets.
3. Compression Seal Advantage
When the cap is snapped into place, it creates consistent compression across the entire length of the bar. This ensures a firm hold and enhances the overall weather resistance of the system.
Together, these three layers of protection provide outstanding defence against leaks, draughts, and weather damage.
Designed for 10mm to 25mm Polycarbonate Sheets
Compatibility is essential when selecting a glazing system. The Capex snap down bars are specifically designed to accommodate a wide range of sheet thicknesses:
- 10mm polycarbonate sheets
- 16mm polycarbonate sheets
- 20mm polycarbonate sheets
- 25mm polycarbonate sheets
This flexibility makes them suitable for everything from lightweight garden structures to more robust insulated roofing systems.
Built for Strength Without Compromise
Despite its lightweight design, the aluminium core delivers exceptional structural strength. This allows the glazing bars to withstand high wind loads and maintain the integrity of your roof over time.
Key structural benefits:
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Reduced stress on supporting framework
- Long-term durability in exposed conditions
- Resistance to warping or deformation
This makes the system ideal for both domestic and commercial installations.
Effortless Installation – Ideal for Trade and DIY
One of the biggest advantages of the Capex system is its ease of installation. Whether you're a professional installer working to tight deadlines or a confident DIYer, the snap-down design significantly reduces installation time.
Why installers choose Capex:
- No need for specialist tools
- Minimal training required
- Faster installation compared to screw-down systems
- Reduced risk of installation errors
The result is a cleaner finish and a more efficient workflow on site.
Zero Maintenance Roofing Solution
Unlike timber glazing bars that require regular treatment, painting, or replacement, the Exitex Capex glazing bar system is virtually maintenance-free.
The uPVC cap is:
- UV-stable and fade-resistant
- Resistant to cracking and weather damage
- Easy to clean
- Long-lasting without additional treatment
This ensures your roof continues to look and perform at its best for years to come.

The Capex glazing bar system is designed for use in a wide range of applications, making it one of the most versatile roofing solutions available.
Ideal for:
- Conservatories
- Lean-to roofs
