Key Features
Tie Bar Options
The traditional tie bar has been designed with an attractive decorative rose. It is also available in three way, five way and special units with a choice of colour.
Deflection Reduction
The cutting edge Tie Bar Replacement Kit almost eliminates deflection by supporting the existing aluminium ridge with an aluminium bolster beam.
Structural Integrity
The Tie Bar Replacement Kit reduces the need for tie bars by over 75%, meaning less than 10% of glass roof conservatories will now need them.
Reinforced Starter Bar
A new starter bar, along with a ridge compression plate, improves the attachment to the existing masonry by evenly distributing the loads.
Performance Engineering
Aluminium bolster beam for the entire ridge length to eliminate any deflection
Moulded end stops on the eaves beam to allow the bolts to slot into place firmly
Anchor bolts to connect the conservatory to the host wall securely
Ridge compression plate to distribute forces evenly for installation
Additional cleats for eaves beam corners (two total), with an extra butterfly cleat
How does it work?
The bolster beam extends along the length of the ridge to support the existing structure. This reduces unwanted sightlines and fiddly installations that are unpopular with homeowners and installers alike.
Each of the reinforced starter bars is drilled into the host wall by three sturdy anchor bolts. Backed up by cleats on both ends, the structure has been designed to be highly secure all over. With our high standards for quality manufacturing, we ensure that tie bar installations are hassle free.

What conservatory roofs is the tie bar applicable to?

If you have any questions about the installation process, please contact us directly.
What advantages does the replacement kit offer?
Tie bars have been integrated into conservatory roofs since the Victorian era and prevent ridge deflection in strong winds and heavy snow. Some installers have opted to not include tie bars in recent years, which leaves conservatory roof structures at risk of collapse.
The Tie Bar Replacement Kit offers equal structural integrity, with reduced sightlines allowing for clearer sky views for the homeowner. This cutting edge technology provides all the benefits of traditional tie bars with no compromise on strength and security.
