Various Applications of Polycarbonate Multiwall Sheets

 

Multiwall polycarbonate sheets are those that combine the superior characteristics of polycarbonate with the advantages offered by multiwall design; thus yielding a light-weight, strong and insulating sheet design. These polycarbonates are 200 times stronger than glass, yet weigh just a small fraction of glass. Also, they are manufactured in a way that they can tolerate extreme outdoor weather conditions, while maintaining their normal mechanical properties in temperatures ranging between -40C to 120C; thus making them perfect for use in any and every kind of weather. Because of the various benefits and features that these sheets possess, they have become very popular among architects and designers. The other various beneficial features of polycarbonate multiwalls include high impact resistance, non-combustibility, excellent thermal insulation, energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, easy to handle and install, and virtually unbreakable.

Polycarbonate multiwall sheets have served many residential and commercial purposes in terms of roofing, glazing, cladding, and much more. They are used not only in constructional purposes, but also in agriculture and advertising applications. Therefore, these sheets are the most ideal solution for fulfilling all kinds of constructional, agricultural, and advertising needs. Here are some of the most common applications where polycarbonate multiwalls are used.
