How to Choose Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheet

Thickness: Finding the Perfect Balance

The thickness of the polycarbonate sheet is a crucial factor. Thicker sheets offer greater impact resistance and structural integrity, making them suitable for applications requiring high durability, such as roofing, safety barriers, and protective screens. Conversely, thinner sheets are more flexible and lightweight, ideal for projects where weight is a concern or where bending or shaping is required, such as signage and interior partitions.

Transparency: From Clear to Opaque

Polycarbonate sheets come in various levels of transparency, from clear to opaque. The right level of transparency depends on your project’s specific requirements. Clear sheets allow maximum light transmission, making them perfect for skylights, greenhouse panels, and windows. If privacy or light diffusion is needed, consider translucent or opaque sheets, which provide varying levels of opacity while still allowing some light to pass through.

UV Protection: Ensuring Longevity

Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause polycarbonate sheets to yellow or degrade over time, reducing their clarity and lifespan. To combat this, look for sheets treated with UV inhibitors or a UV-resistant coating. These additives protect the sheets from UV damage, ensuring long-term clarity and performance, especially in outdoor applications exposed to sunlight.

Special Features: Tailoring to Your Needs

Depending on your project requirements, you may need polycarbonate sheets with special features:For applications where fire safety is crucial, such as building interiors or transportation infrastructure, consider sheets with fire-resistant properties that comply with relevant building codes and regulations.Some sheets are designed with thermal insulation properties, helping regulate temperature and reduce energy consumption. These are ideal for applications where climate control is important, such as roofing and façades.For applications prone to scratching or abrasion, such as protective screens or glazing, consider sheets with an anti-scratch coating. This enhances durability and maintains optical clarity, extending the lifespan of the sheets.

Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheet Fitting Instructions

Storage & Sheet Preparation
Store sheets on a flat surface. Use an opaque cover, tightly secured, to protect from wind, rain and sun.Storage is always preferable indoorsEnsure that the clearly marked UV protected surface of the Marlon ST sheet is to the outside.Marlon ST sheets must always be installed with the ribs running vertically, or up-slope.Roofs should always be designed with a minimum slope of 5° to allow adequate rainwater run-off.Marlon ST sheet can be cut with a fine tooth circular saw or hand saw at a shallow angle.Use aluminium sealing tape at the top of the sheet to prevent ingress of moisture, dust and insects.

Accessories
It is recommended that the ends of the multiwall polycarbonate sheets are sealed to minimise the build-up of moisture or dust contamination within the channels. A sealing tape, preferably aluminium, is applied at the top of the sheet to prevent ingress of moisture, dust and insects. A breather tape applied to the bottom end of the sheet permits air to move freely in and out of the sheet, helping minimise condensation.

Drilling & Fixing
When drilling fixing holes they must be oversized (18mm) to allow the sheet to move.Drill between ribs and at least 40mm from the edge of the sheet.Fixings must not be overtightened, again this allows the natural movement of the sheet and will avoid unnecessary damage to the sheet.

Finishing
Cover breather tape with a ‘U’ profile sealed to the top face of the sheet with a small silicone bead.Use a low-modulus neutral silicone as an all-purpose silicone will cause polycarbonates to crack and disintegrate.Ensure all film is completely removed immediately after installation.

Film Removal
The UV protected surface of the multiwall sheet is covered at manufacture with a branded film. A further plain film is applied to the inner surface. To install, the films should be peeled back about 50mm to allow clean sheet insertion into the glazing system and application of end tapes and closure. Ensure all film is completely removed after installation is complete.

How to Maintain Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheet

Checking for Damages and Cracks
Examine the whole surface of the clear roofing sheets for any obvious cracks, holes, or damage. Bad weather, fallen objects, or faulty installation may bring these on. If ignored, cracks or other damage can weaken the roof’s structure and cause leaks or other harm.

Assessing the Condition of Seals and Fasteners
Examine the seals and fasteners holding the multiwall polycarbonate sheet in place. Verify that the seals are not degrading and are intact. The structural integrity of the roof should be preserved by replacing or tightening any loose or broken fasteners.

Recommended Cleaning Agents
Apply gentle, non-abrasive cleaning solutions made especially for surfaces made of plastic roof sheets. The surface of the sheets may get damaged if strong chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleansers are used.

Proper Tools and Equipment

A soft-bristle brush, a pail of warm water, a non-abrasive sponge or cloth, and a squeegee or soft towel for drying are among the cleaning supplies that you’ll need.

Protect against Chemicals

To prevent damage or discoloration, do not use strong chemicals or solvents in close proximity to polycarbonate roofing sheets. Rinse the area well with water if any chemicals come into touch with the roof.

Remove Snow and Ice

Use a roof rake or a soft-bristle broom to clear the snow off the roof in locations that have received a lot of snowfall. This lessens the possibility of structural damage and helps avoid placing too much weight on the roof.

Seek Professional Assistance

It is advised to seek professional assistance if you observe major damage or have questions about any maintenance practices. Experts in polycarbonate roofing sheets can give advice, carry out repairs, or make recommendations for particular upkeep needs.
