Before Installation

Before beginning installation, it is important to ensure the installation surface is level and structurally prepared.

Recommended preparation includes:

• level concrete slab or patio foundation
• structurally secure wall mounting surface
• proper spacing and layout measurements
• reviewing all supplied components
• having multiple installers available for glass handling

Recommended tools may include:

• power drill
• ladder
• measuring tape
• screwdrivers
• rubber mallet
• safety gloves
• silicone sealant

Step 1 — Assemble the Base Structure

The installation begins by assembling the lower perimeter frame and structural vertical supports.

The Solaspaces™ system uses precision aluminum framing components engineered to create the structural footprint of the sunroom while maintaining a clean architectural appearance.

During this phase:

• front base rails are positioned
• vertical support columns are installed
• mounting brackets are secured
• frame alignment is verified before tightening hardware

Proper alignment during this stage is critical for smooth sliding door operation later in the installation process.

Step 2 — Install the Rear Wall Mounting System

The rear wall-mounted support system anchors the structure directly to the home or building surface.

This phase includes:

• installing upper wall rails
• securing mounting brackets
• anchoring side structural supports
• confirming roof pitch alignment

The lean-to roof design helps direct water runoff while maximizing natural light transmission throughout the structure.

Step 3 — Install the Glass Wall Panels

After the primary frame structure is assembled, the tempered glass wall panels are installed into the aluminum framing channels.

The Solaspaces™ system uses large tempered safety glass panels designed to maximize outdoor visibility while maintaining a clean and modern appearance.

During installation:

• glass panels are carefully positioned into frame channels
• gaskets and sealing components are installed
• panel alignment is verified
• retaining hardware is secured

The slim aluminum framing profile helps create an open architectural appearance with expansive outdoor views.

Step 4 — Install Roof Support Framing

Next, the roof rafters and structural roof framing components are installed.

This stage includes:

• securing roof support rails
• installing intermediate roof framing members
• verifying spacing consistency
• preparing for roof panel installation

The integrated sloped roof system improves drainage performance while maintaining a modern outdoor aesthetic.

Step 5 — Install Polycarbonate Roof Panels

The Solaspaces™ roof system uses durable polycarbonate roofing panels designed to:

• diffuse sunlight
• improve weather resistance
• reduce heat transfer
• maintain bright natural lighting

Roof panels are carefully positioned into the roof channels before securing retaining caps and finishing trim components.

Proper sealing and drainage alignment are important for long-term outdoor performance.

Step 6 — Install the Sliding Door System

One of the defining features of the Solaspaces™ collection is the clean sliding glass door system designed to create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.

Door installation includes:

• installing upper and lower tracks
• mounting sliding glass panels
• adjusting panel alignment
• installing locking hardware
• testing sliding operation

Once installed, the system provides a modern open-air experience while maintaining enclosed protection during changing weather conditions.

Step 7 — Final Sealing & Finishing

The installation is completed by:

• applying final sealant
• installing trim components
• verifying fasteners
• cleaning glass surfaces
• testing drainage flow

A final inspection ensures the structure is weather-sealed, aligned, and fully secured.
