Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a versatile thermoplastic material, appreciated for its durability and lightweight material that offers excellent impact resistance, and an excellent weatherability.
Polycarbonate is available in different forms, including sheets, panels, and profiles, and can be used in a wide range of applications, from roofing and glazing to partitions and skylights. It is widely used, especially in the House building and renovation, but also in commercial and industrial construction.
Polycarbonate : a material with outstanding properties
Polycarbonate has several outstanding properties that make it an ideal material for construction applications. These properties include:
1. High Impact Resistance: Polycarbonate is up to 200 times stronger than traditional
glass, making it an ideal choice for areas where impact resistance is critical, such as
in schools, hospitals, and public buildings.
2. High Light Transmission: Polycarbonate has excellent light transmission properties,
allowing natural light to penetrate through the material, which can help reduce energy
costs and create a brighter, more welcoming environment.
3. UV Resistance: Polycarbonate is highly resistant to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which
makes it an excellent choice for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight is
frequent.
4. Easy to install: Polycarbonate is easy to cut, drill, and form into a wide range of
shapes and sizes, making it an ideal material for bespoke construction projects.
Polycarbonate : a wide range of Applications
Polycarbonate is used in a wide range of construction applications, including:
1. Roofing and Cladding: Polycarbonate sheets and panels are commonly used in
roofing and cladding applications due to their excellent durability, impact resistance,
and light transmission properties.
2. Glazing: Polycarbonate is often used in glazing applications, such as windows,
doors, and skylights, due to its high transparency and UV resistance.
3. Partitions: Polycarbonate is a popular choice for partitions and dividers due to its
impact resistance and ability to create a more open and welcoming space.
4. Signage: Polycarbonate is often used in signage applications due to its high clarity
and ability to withstand outdoor exposure.
At our company, we offer a range of polycarbonate options for different applications, including the following types :
1. Multiwall Polycarbonate: This type of polycarbonate, also known as alveolar polycarbonate, consists of multiple walled cells. It is commonly used for structures such as pergolas, verandas, and shower enclosures. We offer it in several thicknesses and finishes, including translucent and opaque.
2. Solid Polycarbonate: Also known as compact polycarbonate, this material is 200 times more durable than mineral glass. It offers maximum light transmission and is available in thicknesses ranging from 2 to 10mm. Solid polycarbonate is typically used in roofing glazing, storefronts, protective screens, and other applications.
3. Corrugated Polycarbonate Nervesco polycarbonate has a corrugated profile and offers mechanical resistance and durability. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, but is particularly popular for entrance walls, partitions, and other similar applications.
4. Hammered Polycarbonate : This type of polycarbonate has a hammered finish, which breaks up sunlight and provides a soft lighting effect while also maintaining privacy. It is mainly used as an interior synthetic glass.
