Measuring your conservatory
3. Most importantly we require the CHANNEL WIDTH of your polycarbonate roof panels to produce an accurate quotation & supply you with the correct width of Polycool insert.
The CHANNEL WIDTH can be measured in one of two ways;
- From 'inside' the conservatory 'measure' (preferably in millimetres) the width of the channel as displayed - from 'visible tramline to visible tramline' using a ruler or measure (or if you have a Polycool brochure using the self-survey form).
OR
- Alternatively, from the gutter edge, remove one of the 'endcaps' and measure the 'top channel width' and if possible top channel depth.
N.B - If you are taking details from your conservatory plans, please note this will be the thickness of the polycarbonate sheet and not the channel width.

The polycarbonate sample enclosed with the free information pack is a 'typical' 20mm wide channel x 16mm thick 'triple wall' polycarbonate design.
