Bijdrage van: J. Van Atteveld
Here are my experiences with the Skyroof system I received almost 2 years ago and installation of this system. (I was the first customer)
At first I designed my observatory with C-rails, as used for garage doors, in mind, so I had to rethink my design. I didn’t want rain from outside to enter my closed observatory, so it thought of leaving a space between the rails on the outside of the building and the rails on the inside.
I added silicone to prevent the rain coming from inside and the top of the rails from wetting the inside wall and added a heating wire to prevent icening up of the rail in cold winter nights.
It worked, but the gap was to hard on the wheels and made them wear premature. And there was no way that I could replace the damaged wheels, because the great thing about this system is that the roof is well connected to the observatory and cannot lift from the rails during heavy storms.
So with some spare pieces of rail I came up with the following design:
A removable rail between the inside and outside rail, large enough to be able to take out a carrier to replace the broken wheel, connection smooth enough not to damage the wheels again, blocking the rain from the outside rail and enabling the heating wires underneath the rails. Inside the connector are sliding keys that can slide inward to make them removable. I added some holes to the outside rail and a gap in the frame the rail was mounted on, so the rain would remain outside.
Conclusion and final thoughts:
- It is a smooth running system, which also prevents the roof from getting blown of the building, even when it is on the open position and wind can come from underneath.
- Preventing rain from entering the building needs some extra work. My solution seems to work, but everybody may design their own fix.
- If during the build, the extruding carrier nuts are taken in consideration, then you can reduce the gap between the top of the rail and the support of the carriers.
- In cold weather, it is necessary to warm the rails to prevent icing or snow from obstructing the roof’s ability to close.
