ALUKAP-XR Hip Bar
The ALUKAP-XR Hip Bar is part of the excellent ALUKAP-XR glazing bar range, an all round winning solution for long lasting watertight performance, quality aesthetics and a reduced installation time, saving you time and money.
This Hip Bar is designed with extra upstand height and an overhanging top cap. The extra height gives the needed capacity to accept glazing from two different angles, as is required at a hip rafter. The full aluminium snap cover means that perfect, leak-proof abutments can be made unencumbered during installation and sealant applied, if necessary, before snapping on the upper aluminium profile cover which acts as double protection.
The Alukap®-XR Hip bars works in conjunction with the standard Alukap®-XR glazing bars (45mm and 60mm), and Ridge glazing bars and is a must have for easy hip connections. For stylish hip bar connections see Alukap-XR Roof Lantern Radius End Cap and Alukap-XR Roof Lantern Pinnacle Top Cap.

Protective Films
All plastic sheet products will have a Clear, Blue or White protective film on both sides or a combination of all three. This is to protect during transit and needs removing before usage. Sometimes it can be difficult to peel off but use a thumbnail gently on any corner to lift and peel. Alternatively gently wet any corner with a cloth to separate film and peel.
Adhesives & Sealants
When using any adhesives or sealants with your plastic sheet product great care must be taken in ensuring its compatibility. Some products can react adversely and either not bond/seal properly or would cause the acrylic to cloud or become white at the bond line. Refer to our web pages for advice if unsure. Check your sealant/adhesives ‘use by date’ to ensure its still current for best performance in your project.
