As we all know, Polycarbonate sheets are perfect choice for your projects, such as Greenhouse, Skylight Roof and Public facilities lighting ceiling.
Now how will you choose the perfect multiwall polycarbonate sheet? For this, you need to determine how much heat is required within your structure. Also, how much heat is required throughout the longer and colder winter seasons? Accordingly, you can consider how much insulation you need and what the thickness of the sheet used should be.
Twin-wall polycarbonate sheets – These sheets come in sizes up to 10 mm thick, that lets in around 80% of visible light. All twin-wall sizes are suitable for cold frames and greenhouse glazing. It is the insulation and light transmission that you need to consider. Remember that an increase in thermal insulation comes with an exchange in light transmission. This means that if you use a thicker sheet that increases thermal insulation by 30%, it may reduce the light by around 10%.
Polycarbonate multiwall sheets – Polycarbonates that are 16 mm thick or more are categorized under multiwall sheets. These polycarbonates let in around 62% of visible light. Car ports, greenhouses and skylights may opt for 16 mm thick sheets; patio covers and pergolas may choose 25 mm thick sheets; and conservatories may require a 35 mm thick sheet.
