Polycarbonate sheets – key parameters and recommendations for the right choice
All the sheets on offer are made from high-quality polycarbonate, which stands out above all for its durability, low weight, ease of installation, affordable price and high weather resistance. A UV protective layer comes as standard, protecting the material against heating, fading and gradual degradation. This material is most commonly used for roofing pergolas and building greenhouses or shelters.
Not just roofing, but modern design too!
If you are considering whether your roofing would benefit from solid polycarbonate, multiwall sheets or trapezoidal sheets, you cannot go wrong with any of them. Your pergola will look absolutely stunning either way. Let's take a look at the ideal choice for you.
Solid polycarbonate
Solid polycarbonate is the ideal choice for anyone who wants elegant, durable and functional roofing with the longest possible service life. This material is extremely strong, yet lightweight, making it suitable even for structures with a more delicate supporting framework.
Thanks to 100% protection against UV radiation, it stays clear and does not yellow even after years. It also offers excellent impact resistance – neither hail nor falling branches will damage it. The result is a modern, clean look that naturally complements any style of house or garden.
Multiwall polycarbonate sheets
Multiwall polycarbonate is the perfect solution for those who want lightweight, affordable and effective roofing with excellent insulating properties. Thanks to its multilayer structure, it retains heat exceptionally well, which you will appreciate in conservatories or carports, for example.
The material is resistant to UV radiation, impacts and weathering, while maintaining high light transmission. Installation is quick and easy, saving both time and costs. If you are looking for smart, efficient roofing with a long service life, multiwall polycarbonate is a safe bet.
Trapezoidal polycarbonate sheets
Trapezoidal polycarbonate sheets are the ideal choice for those looking for simple, strong and affordable roofing. Thanks to their shape, they have a high load-bearing capacity and drain water efficiently, making them ideal for pergolas, shelters or garages.
They are lightweight, easy to install and readily withstand UV radiation, rain and snow. They let in plenty of daylight, keeping the space beneath them bright and airy. If you want a quick and reliable solution at a reasonable price, trapezoidal polycarbonate is the ideal choice.
