Aluminium Capping for a Maintenance Free Roof

Woodpecker Joinery’s unique greenhouse roof capping system unlike any other greenhouse manufacturer. The system has been designed to perform up to a standard suitable for installation on Conservatory roofs, and to the capacity of securing double glazed glazing units. The design has been specially developed to incorporate a ridge to vent anchoring system which leaves no timber exposed and no requirement for silicones or sealants on the roof, which have limited lifetimes. Once more, as the capping system is designed unique to Woodpecker greenhouses- the implementation of the capping system is discreet and engineered to fit proper with our timber rafters, ridges and roof gable joinery.

Benefits of maintenance free roof system

Maintenance Free –No maintenance, or bi-annual preservative treatment is required on the roof timbers of the greenhouse.

Reduced Glass Vibration – Less vibration of glass in high winds, due to the presence of a rubber gasket either side of glass panes.

Increase Greenhouse Lifetime- No rafter or ridge timber exposed on the roof of the greenhouse .

Weathertight –Unique system engineered design creates a weather tight roof – especially recommended for exposed or coastal locations.

Fully Vented Hinges – Fully integrated designed to withstand strong winds and attaches directly to the greenhouse ridge.

Custom Rubber Gasket Seal – Designed to fit exactly to Woodpecker greenhouse timber profiles, and manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 to ensure quality and performance.

How our system works

  • Aluminium Capping Uniform Thickness –  2.5mm –  above industry Standard Aluminium Alloy – 6063T6 Heat treated

Although Cedar Wood is very durable due to its natural oils, and generally requires staining only once every 2-3 years, our aluminium capping (optional with some of our greenhouses) provides a maintenance-free roof for those who wish to avoid climbing to attend their greenhouse. Our specially Woodpecker designed capping leaves no wood on the roof exposed to the elements, making looking after your greenhouse a pleasure, not a chore!
