When it comes to polycarbonate roofing sheets there are a range of useful benefits, including:
Polycarbonate roof panels are 290x stronger and less than half the weight of glass - which makes them much safer and easier to handle.
They also provide excellent security against hailstones, vandalism and accidental damage.
With high levels of UV protection, harmful UV solar radiation is blocked by up to 98%.
The clear multiwall and twinwall polycarbonate roofing sheets offer excellent light transmission - with 68% of natural light flooding into your room, creating a bright, spacious environment.
Polycarbonate roof panels are self-extinguishing (up to “Class 1” fire rating). This means that they will melt away from the flames, making them much safer..
Twinwall and multiwall polycarbonate roofing sheets also provide superb thermal performance and enhanced spanning capabilities.
Polycarbonate roof panels are therefore a much more cost-effective choice than glass.
A twinwall polycarbonate sheet is made up of two exterior plastic sheets connected with a plastic support layer to create hollow parallel channels.
This makes for a super-strong yet very lightweight plastic material that’s incredibly versatile.
Multiwall polycarbonate sheets follow the same principle, but are made up of more hollow partitions. It’s a multi-layer structure that still retains good levels of light transmission.
The various layers that twinwall and multiwall polycarbonate sheeting is made up from provides superb thermal insulation, as well as relatively good sound insulation.
The type you choose is entirely up to you - but both types of polycarbonate sheet work extremely well as roofing solutions.
