Polycarbonate
Sheet
Our flat polycarbonate sheets, available from stock in 2mm to 12mm
thicknesses are also available to order in 1mm and 15mm for specialist
requirements with the former in sheet or coil format.
Polycarbonate is the ideal safety glazing material where clarity,
impact resistance and fire performance are critical requirements.
EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE
UV stable, polycarbonate sheet is manufactured with an integral,
co-extruded UV layer on both sides of the sheet so that it cannot be
installed in the wrong way. Delivering extreme weather resistance in
all environments, the sheet is offered with a 10 year warranty to
assure the user of its dependability and performance.
Able to absorb high levels of energy, with an impact resistance 200
times that of glass, at half the weight, polycarbonate sheet also
displays safe fire behaviour, making the product ideal for use both
indoors and out, including commercial buildings subject to more
demanding regulation or where there is a high risk of potential
damage.
APPLICATIONS
Readily fabricated and formed using conventional tools and
equipment, our polycarbonate sheets are also ideal for cold line
bending or thermoforming into complex shapes at deep draw
ratios.
Firmly established as a principal material for the built environment,
polycarbonate is suitable for a wide range of applications including
rooflights, recognised as being more efficient than windows for
getting natural daylight into a building, barrel vault roofing,
canopies and shelters, machine guards and signage using clear and
opal polycarbonate sheet for light box installations.
OTHER PRODUCTS
For applications exposed to airborne dust and dirt, our polycarbonate
is also available with a hard, abrasion resistant coating which further
increases the weatherability and chemical resistance of the sheet.
