Installing the Roof Glass
INSTALLATION
• Install the glass by setting it in the horizontal
gutter piece and letting it down slowly to the
foam strip. If everything is square, level and
plumb (straight), the glass should fit. If the
glass does not fit - move the Ridge to either
the right or left until a fit is obtained.
• Install glass on the bottom row in the
roof first.
• Attach and fasten the Caps (caps are 1/2"
shorter than the glass).
(See Pic. A).
• Put in the second row of Roof Glass
overlapping the first 1/2". Settle the glass
against the cap.
(See Pic. B).
• The second row of caps are 1" longer than
the glass. When you put them on, the first
hole in the cap lines up with the last hole in
the previous cap.
• Before you lay down the second row of glass,
cut a 8" (plus/minus) piece of foam and lay
it against the first piece of glass and on top of
the existing foam (it fills the space of the
overlap).
• After you have finished the second row – the
third row is installed the same way.
• Last row below the Ridge – the glass slips in
underneath the Ridge flange.
• When the side of the roof is done, seal the
glass below the Ridge and around the vent
frame with silicone or caulking. Do the
opposite side the same way.
