Polycarbonate panels are the most popular construction material, used for daylight roofs, glazing roofs, greenhouse covers, and interior decoration. Most people have learned that polycarbonate features high impact resistance, is lightweight, has excellent thermal insulation, and is UV-protected. While people may be confused about how to store and maintenance of polycarbonate sheets. Proper storage and use of polycarbonate sheets will prolong the lifespan of polycarbonate maximum. This article will give you some suggestions to solve this problem.
Tips of storaging polycarbonate panels
1. The polycarbonate sheets should be stored indoors. Store panels in a cool and dry place to avoid direct sunlight, rain, and snow. The direct sunlight will damage the UV-protected layer of polycarbonate and produce multiple heats that result in the deformation of sheets. To provide ventilation and shade for polycarbonate sheets.
2. Don’t stack heavy objects on the polycarbonate sheets. Preventing the PE films of polycarbonate from sticking to each other.
3. Put the polycarbonate sheets horizontally. No vertical. Put the longest polycarbonate sheets on the bottom, and keep the sheets in descending order of their lengths.

5. When there is grease, wet paint, tape marks, etc. on the surface, use a soft cloth to wipe with alcohol.
