If we're not talking about Schüco, which is built as a system and not bought by the meter, these systems cost about 500-800:-/m aluminum profile + rubber.

it looks something like this:

With a proper roof system, it looks like the following:

Nice pictures. Smart with the cover over the screws, it must significantly reduce the risk of leakage. It would just look nicer with a rounded version.

Image 2 seems to be self-supporting without a wooden frame.

Fremax, do you have a company or are you more of an independent build-a-house type as a helpful citizen?
Unfortunately, I think it's quite expensive for some aluminum profiles and rubber. I wonder if one could find these profiles at an aluminum company and then buy the rubber separately. I don't believe in warranties and you'd probably have to pay a lot for these from established firms.

I don't think there are many options for cover caps for roofs; for vertical facades, there are insanely stylish cover caps in all sorts of appearances, but I can do some research on it.

In the self-supporting system, the profile is much higher. The system laid on laminated timber/steel has a profile like the image, but not exactly like the one I'm attaching since I can’t find that image when I search.

Both, I'm studying now and mostly do work for old customers and acquaintances, running my own business to supplement student loans.

I understand your concern, but when it comes to glass roofs where you don't want leaks, and it needs to be insulated, DIY solutions are unfortunately very risky. But if you have a very good understanding of building constructions, can plan, and understand how different material choices work together, then anything is possible.

Attaching pictures from last summer;

Yes, aluminum studs do not move like wood does, but I think that glulam beams are quite dimensionally stable compared to 45x220 studs.
