  • 6mm is our standard thickness.
  • 10mm is used for high snow loads and where hail damage might occur.
Helpful Tips

Leave the H and U channel out in the sun to warm them before installing, this will make installation much easier. In colder weather, you may need to bring them into the house to warm them.

AlumaVue covers need ½” per foot of slope for rain runoff. Covers may have more slope if you desire.

It is important to enter the correct snow and wind loads in your estimate. We need this information to ensure your cover is designed and quoted correctly.

The standard kit does not include caulk. Approved Silicone caulk:

  • Dow 795
  • Dow 999
  • Dow Trademate®
  • General Electric Co. Silpruf Construction 1200
  • Tremco Spectrem

The standard kit does not include flashing. The top of the AVP acts as a flashing.

Accessories

AlumaVue covers are not engineered for ceiling fans and lights. Some of our customers have designed ways to install them which can be seen in our Lattice photo gallery.
