Merci pour votre commentaire. Oui, nos profilés de vitrage Alukap-XR peuvent être utilisés avec du polycarbonate ou du verre de toute épaisseur.

Bonjour,
Je vais faire moi même une véranda en verre double vitrage fournie par un miroitier. La structure sera en bois avec des panneaux 175×75mm. Pouvez vous me dire si vos profilés peuvent être utilisés avec le verre double vitrage et quelle est l’épaisseur maximale du verre à poser dessus.
D’avance merci
