• Superior Light Transmission: Polycarbonate twin/hollow sheets allow up to 80% light transmission, depending on the thickness and color. This high level of light penetration makes them ideal for applications where natural lighting is crucial, such as greenhouses or skylights. The sheets diffuse light evenly, reducing hot spots and shadows, creating a comfortable environment for plants or occupants.
• Exceptional Thermal Insulation: The multi-wall structure of these sheets creates air chambers that significantly reduce heat transfer. Depending on the number of walls and overall thickness, these sheets can provide up to 60% better insulation than single-layer glass of the same thickness. This superior insulation contributes to energy savings in both heating and cooling, making buildings more energy-efficient and reducing overall carbon footprint.
• Impressive Impact Resistance: Polycarbonate twin/hollow sheets boast impact strength up to 200 times greater than glass and 10 times greater than acrylic sheets of the same thickness. This extraordinary durability makes them highly resistant to breakage from hail, falling branches, or other impacts. The material’s flexibility allows it to absorb shocks without shattering, enhancing safety in various applications.
• UV Protection: Most polycarbonate twin/hollow sheets come with a co-extruded UV protective layer on one or both sides. This layer blocks harmful UV radiation, protecting the sheet from yellowing and degradation, and extending its lifespan. For greenhouse applications, this feature also protects plants from excessive UV exposure while still allowing beneficial light to pass through.
• Fire Resistance: These sheets often come with a fire-resistant rating of B1 according to DIN 4102 or Class 1 according to BS 476 part 7. This inherent fire resistance adds an extra layer of safety to buildings, potentially slowing the spread of fire and allowing more time for evacuation in case of emergencies.
• Weather Resistance: Polycarbonate twin/hollow sheets can withstand extreme weather conditions, including high winds, heavy snow loads, and temperature fluctuations from -40°C to 120°C without becoming brittle or losing their physical properties. This resilience makes them suitable for use in various climates and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
• Lightweight Yet Strong: Despite their robust nature, these sheets are incredibly lightweight, typically weighing about 1/6th of the weight of glass. This characteristic makes them easier to transport, handle, and install, reducing labor costs and installation time. Their light weight also puts less stress on supporting structures, potentially reducing overall construction costs.
• Versatile Design Options: Available in a variety of colors, tints, and surface finishes, polycarbonate twin/hollow sheets offer architects and designers a wide range of aesthetic options. From clear sheets that maximize light transmission to tinted options that control glare and heat gain, these sheets can be tailored to meet specific project requirements and design visions.
• Easy Installation and Maintenance: These sheets can be easily cut, drilled, and bent on-site without the risk of shattering. Most systems come with specialized connecting profiles and accessories, simplifying the installation process. Their smooth surface resists dirt accumulation and can be easily cleaned with soap and water, reducing maintenance time and costs.
• Eco-Friendly and Recyclable: Polycarbonate twin/hollow sheets are 100% recyclable at the end of their life cycle. Their long lifespan and energy-efficient properties contribute to sustainability in construction. Moreover, their lightweight nature reduces transportation emissions, further minimizing their environmental impact.
