Em-Line Vertical Oversleeve Glazing

Em-Line Vertical oversleeve glazing is a fast and simple to install, cost effective multiwalled polycarbonate cladding system for applications requiring excellent thermal value, light transmission and durability.

Typical applications include sports halls, industrial buildings, shopping centres, showrooms and schools.

The Em-Line Vertical system is particularly suited to applications where existing glazing cannot be removed or would be very costly to replace – for example, projects with clerestory or other vertical glazing, tank rooms, or other facades with cladding materials such as asbestos. The system can simply be installed as an oversleeve to an existing structure on to a new Em-Curb upstand, which is then waterproofed to the same specification as the main flat roof. By eliminating the need to remove existing glazing, the Em-Line Vertical minimizes building work and disruption. It is suitable for roofs with any flat roofing finish, including single ply, torch-on felt, asphalt, hot melt, GRP and liquid systems.

Application:

Oversleeving clerestory windows
School hall roof borrowed light
Tank rooms
Borrowed light well areas
Oversleeving northlight windows

Benefits:

Thermally efficient
Fast and simple to install
Cost effective
Impact and wind resistant
Suitable for all flat roof finishes
No need to remove existing glazing
No internal access required
Minimises building work and disruption

Shapes and sizes

The Em-Line Vertical glazing cladding system has a maximum length of sheet of 7m. Units are designed for vertical applications from 75° to 90°. It is built completely to need and bespoke flashings and wall abutment details are available in aluminium pressings to suit.

Glazing

The Em-Line Vertical is supplied as a multiwall polycarbonate cladding system supplied with an aluminium framework either in mill finish, polyester powder coated white or to any RAL colour by special order.

The glazing is lightweight and solidly constructed with co-extruded UV protected polycarbonate which is located in the aluminium framework, offering excellent resistance to impact and wind pressure. It also meets the impact test standards necessary for sport centre applications.

The glazing is available in translucent clear or translucent opal diffused finish.

For specific technical values for the multiwall material, please see Em-Line bespoke Glazing page.

Upstands

Em-Line Vertical panel system includes an upstand of choice, dependent upon existing window detail, and thickness of insulation requirements. It can also be installed to a builder’s upstand. The most popular compatible upstand is the Em-Curb ECO uPVC 350mm Oversleeve Splayed, because of its oversleeve benefits, however any of the following can be used:

Em-Curb ECO uPVC 150mm Splayed
Em-Curb ECO uPVC 150mm Vertical
Em-Curb GRP 150mm Splayed
Em-Curb ECO uPVC 300mm Splayed
Em-Curb GRP 300mm Splayed
Em-Curb ECO uPVC 350mm Oversleeve Splayed
For more details, please visit our Em-Curb page.

When installed using the Em-Curb ECO uPVC 350mm upstand, Em-Line Vertical can accommodate up to 200mm of insulation and is suitable for all flat roofing finishes.

Ventilation

Ventilation within the upstand is available in the form of controllable and rotating trickle vents or controllable rotating vents. For more information on these ventilation types, visit the Em-Dome Ventilation page.
