Polycarbonate sheets , sometimes referred to as polycarbonate glass , offer a combination of unparalleled features: robustness, transparency, impact resistance. Transparent like glass, they weigh half as much as glass and are 250 times more resistant to shocks.
Polycarbonate sheets also have the best thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
For this reason, they have a high versatility of use and can be processed both hot and cold, making them suitable for all constructions in construction and industry.
Polycarbonate sheets are often used in roofing systems due to their strength, lightness, transparency and resistance to UV rays. They are particularly useful in applications where high temperatures are needed because polycarbonate has a high melting point and low adhesion to metals. Additionally, polycarbonate sheets are resistant to chemical influences, making them an ideal material for use in high-humidity and high-temperature environments.

Polycarbonate glass , or polycarbonate sheets, is a plastic material that, due to its properties, has been used in various industries, including construction. Due to their transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate sheets are often used in the construction of roofing systems.
Roof glazing made of polycarbonate is very durable and resistant to mechanical damage, such as impacts or shocks. In addition, polycarbonate is characterized by high resistance to UV radiation, thanks to which they maintain their transparency and do not fade when exposed to the sun.
Smoke vents and roof hatches made of polycarbonate are lighter and easier to handle than traditional metal components. In addition, polycarbonate is characterized by good thermal insulation, which allows you to reduce the costs of heating the building.
However, it is important to note that polycarbonate is sensitive to certain chemicals, including, for example, organic solvents. Therefore, aggressive cleaning agents should not be used, which can damage the polycarbonate surface. It is recommended to use mild cleaning agents such as soapy water or special preparations designed to clean polycarbonate.
It is also worth remembering to clean polycarbonate sheets regularly to maintain their transparency and prevent dirt from accumulating on them. It is recommended to carry out cleaning at least once a year or more often, in the case of larger dirt.
The impact of polycarbonate sheets on improving the safety of roof systems
Replacing glass with polycarbonate sheets in roofing systems can affect safety for a variety of reasons.
Firstly, polycarbonate sheets are much more resistant to impact and breakage than glass. In the event of strong winds, hailstorms or other weather events, polycarbonate sheets are less likely to be damaged than glass, which can affect the safety of people in the vicinity of roofing systems.
Second, polycarbonate is much lighter than glass, which can reduce the risk of damage to the roof structure in the event of an accident or incident. Therefore, the use of polycarbonate sheets can affect the safety of people inside the building, especially in the case of large roof structures.
However, it should be remembered that polycarbonate sheets should not be used in the case of roof systems that require special fire resistance. In such cases, use tempered glass or other special types of glass that are more resistant to fire.
In any case, the choice of the right material for roof elements should always depend on the characteristics of the building, its purpose and the weather conditions in the region.
Polycarbonate sheets – application in roof systems
Polycarbonate sheets are increasingly used in roofing systems due to their unique properties, these panels are lightweight, but at the same time durable and resistant to mechanical damage, making them an ideal material for covering polycarbonate roofs. It is also a UV-impermeable material, which means that it can protect the interior of a building from the harmful effects of the sun, even though it is transparent and transmits light. Thanks to their design, polycarbonate sheets are an excellent thermal insulator, which can help to maintain a constant temperature inside the building, which in turn can help to reduce energy costs for heating and cooling the building. Polycarbonate sheets are also easy to install, which makes the roof construction process much easier and faster. The use of polycarbonate panels is not limited to roofing, they can also be used to build walls, greenhouses or sports halls, they are also often used in the construction of garden gazebos or terrace roofs due to their aesthetic appearance and functionality
