Which system to use?

Unheated Spaces, canopies, station and platform glazing SkyGard should be your first choice if using 6 to 7mm thick glass. If considering different glass thickness, then PlasGard would be your next choice

Heated Spaces
ThermGard is our thermally broken system providing excellent Uvalues and air-tightness when combined with insulating double glazed units for compliance with Building Regulations Part L.

Self-supporting Lanterns or SkyLights
SpanGard self-supporting rooflights feature extruded cill, ridge & hip members to provide you with a complete kit pre-fabricated upto 6m wide by infinite length without the need for additional support, other than a load-bearing curb.

If using Polycarbonate
PlasGard offers a range of glazing bars & accessories for use with ‘plastic’ glazing materials for unheated spaces. If you require a thermally broken system, then please see our ThermGard ALM500 Series

Rafter Glazing
If fitting glazing bars on top of continuous timber rafters, then section reference ALM100/WF suitable for single or double glazing from our ThermGard range, provides neat, low-profile appearance combined with excellent weather tightness and low-maintenance.

Need ventilation?
GlazaTherm roof vents can be incorporated in sloped glazing and fitted with manual, electric or smoke actuators. Alternatively we can provide casement vents in the upstands of lantern lights when required.

Introducing the New ClearLine Vetro

Integrated Solar Thermal Hot Water Panel for Sloped And Vertical Glazing
Patent Number GB2449439

Request full technical data and typical installation details at info@lonsdalemetal.co.uk

Developed in conjunction with our partners Viridian Solar Ltd., we are delighted to offer a new concept to the glazing and fenestration industry.

The new Clearline Vetro Solar Panel can be fitted into sloped or vertical patent glazing, curtain walling and other aluminium, metal, timber or pvcu glazing systems for commercial or domestic buildings.

Cleverly designed, we have taken one of the best performing panels on the market and made changes to simply ‘glaze’ the panels into the frames providing seamless integration with the adjacent glass. Designers can now add the benefit of solar energy to buildings with our ‘invisible’ panels.

Now the patent is approved, you have the opportunity to take advantage of one of the few solar panel systems that genuinely delivers cost savings and benefits:

  • Meet planning requirements for renewable energy
  • Improve SAP & SBEM ratings
  • Higher Code for Sustainable Scores
  • Reduce energy bills for your clients by providing 50-60% of hot water


  • Solar Panel

    No ‘specialist’ required. The panels can be fitted into the framing system by the glazing contractor. They simply ‘glaze’ into the system in the usual way, as you would a piece of glass. Rather than utilizing spandrel panels where clear glass is not required, why not incorporate this new product that will contribute to reducing carbon emissions? Importantly, as no plumbing connections are made outside the building, the glazing contractor can take full responsibility for weather-tightness. The plumbing contractor can take full responsibility for all plumbing connections inside the building, so there is clear division of responsibility.
