Single-wall polycarbonate:

Polycarbonate is a widely utilized material in various industries today, often incorporated into products without being immediately recognizable.  Polycarbonate is a widely utilized material, present in numerous applications across different industries.  It is “amorphous.”  It is utilized in a wide range of applications, including eyewear, medical devices, automotive components, lighting fixtures, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and more.  It can be described as a naturally transparent, amorphous thermoplastic. One of its key advantages is its exceptional light transmission capabilities, similar to glass, while also offering

 Corrugated polycarbonate (used in combination with roofing sandwich panels and roofing profile sheets)

Polycarbonate is the most durable transparent material, making it an ideal alternative to glass in various building applications. Corrugated polycarbonate, when used in conjunction with roofing profile sheets, is an excellent solution for applications such as industrial shed roofs, factories, and other industrial facilities. It is available in three variants: frosted color, transparent, and wood pattern, with lengths customized to meet customer specifications. The trapezoidal design is perfectly compatible with roof panels and sandwich panels, ensuring seamless integration without issues related to waterproofing or overlapping. The polycarbonate used in roofing not only blocks UV rays and sunlight but also serves as an effective heat insulator. Furthermore, it ensures uniform light distribution, which not only enhances lighting but also contributes to energy savings. Polycarbonate possesses anti-inflammatory properties, offering excellent resistance to flames and limiting heat transmission, with a reduction of up to 120°C. This product is available in thicknesses of 2 mm and 2.5 mm.

  •  Ensure that the grooves within the sheet are thoroughly cleared of any foreign debris or fine particles
  • It is essential to avoid using nails for the installation of polycarbonate sheets; their use is strictly prohibited for this type of material
  • The screws used must be sufficiently strong to prevent leakage while allowing adequate space for the expansion of the polycarbonate sheets 
  • The screws should be tightened sufficiently to avoid any undue tension or localized distortion of the sheets
  •  When tightening the screws, the tool used should maintain a firm grip on the screw to prevent slippage
  • The UV protective film should be removed following the installation process
  • The side with the UV protective film should be installed facing outward
  • The hole created in the sheet should be 3 mm larger than the diameter of the screw
  • The radius of the curve should be 175 times the thickness of the sheet, and it should be installed with a width-to-length ratio of 1:2
  •  It is essential to avoid stepping on the polycarbonate sheets during installation and to adhere to all relevant safety protocols throughout the process
  •  Corrugated polycarbonate sheets offer excellent impact resistance. However, when used for covering sports halls, it is recommended to install an additional protective layer, such as a metal mesh or triangular triple-walled polycarbonate sheets with a thickness of 10-12 mm, beneath the polycarbonate sheets

Installation of corrugated polycarbonate (used in combination with roofing sandwich panels and roofing profile sheets)

  • • Support structure (framework):

Metal: Hollow square section ranging from 44 to 48, or T-shaped, Z-shaped, or IPE profiles  

  •  Guidelines for cutting polycarbonate sheets:

Polycarbonate sheets can be precisely cut to the required dimensions using a handsaw or a vertical bandsaw fitted with a fine-toothed blade (5 teeth per centimeter). 

  •  Longitudinal overlap:

The longitudinal overlap of the sheets should be positioned directly over the structural beams. (a minimum of 15 cm)

  • Transverse overlap:

The transverse overlap should be oriented against the prevailing wind direction in the installation area.

  • Guidelines for fastening polycarbonate sheets:

The minimum allowable distance from the sheet edge to the first fastening point must be no less than 5 cm. All perforations must be accurately executed using an electric drill. It is crucial to use a high-quality, sharp drill bit, ensuring that the hole diameter is consistently 4 mm larger than the diameter of the screw 

 

 

For wall installations, screw holes should be positioned within the crest of the corrugation

For roof installations, screw holes should be placed on the peak of the corrugation.

To ensure optimal performance of the washers, the areas surrounding and inside the screw holes must be thoroughly cleaned and free from dust, debris, and any residual particles.

٭ Solid polycarbonate (2.05×3.05)

Solid polycarbonate panels (integral) are exceptionally durable and impact-resistant, while being lightweight, weighing only half as much as glass panels.  Solid polycarbonate panels offer excellent light transmission, providing transparency comparable to that of glass.  These clear, flat plastic panels are highly resistant to environmental exposure and designed for long-term outdoor durability, maintaining their transparency without yellowing over time.
