What is Polycarbonate Roofing?
Polycarbonate roofing is a versatile and durable roofing solution made from polycarbonate, a lightweight and highly impact-resistant thermoplastic. It offers excellent light transmission, allowing natural sunlight to pass through while providing protection from rain and harmful UV rays. Polycarbonate roofing comes in various forms, including solid sheets, twinwall sheets, and corrugated sheets - making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as pergolas, carports, greenhouses, and lean-tos - that are durable and easy to install.
Roofing for Pergolas, Carports, Greenhouses and More
Solid Polycarbonate Sheets
Solid polycarbonate sheets are a versatile product which offer unparalleled clarity and strength. These sheets are known for their impact resistance, which is significantly higher than that of glass, making them a practical and lightweight alternative to glass in areas where you need a transparent, robust material, such as for glazing greenhouses and creating clear roofs on pergolas and carports.
Twinwall Polycarbonate Sheets
Twinwall polycarbonate sheets feature a unique double-layer structure that provides excellent insulation while maintaining transparency. These sheets are lightweight, flexible and strong, making them easy to install and handle. The twinwall design also enhances their impact resistance and thermal insulation properties, making them perfect for pergola roofing, and in greenhouses and polytunnels where temperature control is crucial.
Corrugated Roofing Sheets
For a more traditional roofing appearance with modern performance, our corrugated polycarbonate sheets are the perfect choice. Clear polycarbonate corrugated roofing sheets offer excellent light transmission and are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, whilst Bitumen coated roof sheets are perfect for barns, log stores and sheds - providing elevated strength and waterproofing where no sunlight penetration is needed. The corrugated design enhances the structural integrity, making them ideal for carports, lean-tos, and other outdoor structures.Â
Polycarbonate Roofing Glazing Bars
We stock a range of glazing bars, including PVC glazing bars for easy, lightweight and affordable installation, and Aluminium glazing bars for a stylish and more robust finish.
Connecting and Reinforcing
Glazing bars are an essential part of constructing a roof with polycarbonate sheets. Designed to securely connect sheets, these bars ensure a seamless and attractive finish whilst providing appropriate support and resistance to rain and weather. They are easy to install and available in a choice of PVC or Aluminium system in various colours to suit your construction.Â
Enhancing Aesthetics and Durability
In addition to their practical function, glazing bars contribute to the overall aesthetic of your construction. They provide a clean, professional look that enhances the visual appeal of your project, and prevents the sheets from bending and breaking, detaching, or filling with algae and debris. With options in different colours and finishes, you can choose the perfect glazing bars to match your design vision. Moreover, these bars help reinforce the structure, ensuring it remains sturdy and reliable over time.
