Polycarbonate Shed Windows
Choose Superstrong Polycarbonate Shed or Summerhouse Windows here at The Plastic People and you won't be replacing them anytime soon! The polycarbonate window panes that we provide are 250 times stronger than glass but only half the weight meaning they are light to handle and virtually unbreakable.
We deliver polycarbonate shed windows cut to the size you need. When selecting your shed or summerhouse window panes we recommend a minimum gauge of 3mm for adequate rigidity. This is because some customers have told us 2mm thick polycarbonate can be 'too bendy' particularly on larger panel sizes.
Rest assured that as well as our polycarbonate sheets for sheds being 250 x stronger than glass, they are also half its weight making it a superb and easy to use choice to replace broken or existing glass panels. Polycarbonate is also much stronger than acrylic alternatives. Because polycarbonate is so strong you can be confident you won't need to replace your polycarbonate panels anytime soon.

- Simply enter the measurements of your existing windows panes into our Quote Calculator above and we'll safely deliver polycarbonate window panes, ready to go in your shed or summerhouse.

- You can upload a drawing to show us what you require (for example, where you would like holes drilled) and this will come to us at the same time you place your order.
That's it. If we have any questions, we'll be in touch.
How do I fit Replacement Shed or Summerhouse Windows?
If your replacement panels are the same size and thickness as your original panels you should be able to fit them in exactly the same way. On wooden frames you can even drill and screw polycarbonate on, it won’t break. If you prefer, we can drill any holes for you, just let us know how many you'd like (we generally recommend a hole every 300mm) by completing the optional extras section when you place your order.

Compared to acrylic panes of the same thickness and size it is around 30 times stronger; compared to equivalent glass panes it is over 250 times stronger. This makes polycarbonate an excellent choice for glazing where security is key.

Protective Films
All plastic sheet products will have a Clear, Blue or White protective film on both sides or a combination of all three. This is to protect during transit and needs removing before usage. Sometimes it can be difficult to peel off but use a thumbnail gently on any corner to lift and peel. Alternatively gently wet any corner with a cloth to separate film and peel.
Adhesives & Sealants
When using any adhesives or sealants with your plastic sheet product great care must be taken in ensuring its compatibility. Some products can react adversely and either not bond/seal properly or would cause the acrylic to cloud or become white at the bond line. Refer to our web pages for advice if unsure. Check your sealant/adhesives ‘use by date’ to ensure its still current for best performance in your project.
