Polycarbonate Sheets Cut To Size
Polycarbonate Sheet Types
Solid Polycarbonate Sheets
Clear polycarbonate, or PC, is a plastic sheet with similar properties and appearance to an acrylic sheet. The lightweight polycarbonate panel is also clearer than glass, at 90% transparency, while a standard pane of glass is 89% see-through.
As a thermoplastic, polycarbonate is an exceptional insulator. PC can withstand temperatures from -50C°C to 100°C and has a Class 1 Fire Rating, making our sheeting flame and heat-resistant.
Cut to size polycarbonate panels are a fantastic option for replacing glass in sheds, greenhouses, and cold frames, and an exceptional choice for double glazing and roofing.
Solid polycarbonate’s strength is astonishing. This type of plastic sheeting is more than 200 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic panels. PC is suitable to use indoors and outdoors and has excellent resistance properties, including UV protection. It also doesn’t shatter, so you don’t have to worry about dangerous shards.
Twin Wall Polycarbonate Sheets
Twin wall is a versatile and durable plastic sheet, valued by homeowners and construction businesses. Polycarbonate twin walled sheeting has the strength, clarity and UV protection of solid panels.
A single polycarbonate wall is thinner than a solid PC panel, but twin wall’s construction mitigates this. Joining two polycarbonate sheets with an internal layer of support supplies added strength and stability.
Made to measure twin wall sheeting is ideal for verandas, pergolas, arches, sheds and house extensions. Twin wall sheeting allows plenty of sunlight through without the harmful effects of the sun’s rays. Twin wall has excellent light transmittance. One of the most popular uses for a twin walled panel is as a greenhouse roof.
Twin wall is available in Clear, Opal, and Bronze finishes. The thickness ranges from 4 mm to 6 mm. The maximum size of a single panel is 3040 mm x 2040 mm.
Weight is one of the most important factors when considering a roofing solution. Because polycarbonate is constructed from hollow flutes, it offers excellent protection with less weight and material needed. Twin wall is an affordable, environmentally friendly panel which is easy and quick to install.
Multi Wall Polycarbonate Sheets
Multiwall is the thickest and strongest version of polycarbonate roofing sheeting. It is made of multiple layers of PC interlocked with stabilising levels of plastic material.
Because of its thickness, multiwall offers the greatest insulating and protecting capabilities at a slight loss of clarity. Multiwall is the preferred choice for conservatories, extensions, and construction. Multiwall sheeting is also used for carport roofs, bus and bike shelters, or swimming pool roofing.

The maximum size of a single panel is 3040 mm x 2040 mm. The thickness ranges from 25 mm to 35 mm.
