Troubleshooting
Water leaking between sheets
Check that the cap and base profiles are fully snapped into place and the sealing tape is properly applied.
Condensation inside the sheet channels

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning installation, ensure your timber structure is level and squared. Follow the included manual to attach the base profile bars to your rafters before laying the sheets. Use the breather tape at the lower edge to prevent condensation buildup within the multiwall channels, while using sealing tape at the top edge to prevent moisture ingress. To maintain the roof, clean the polycarbonate sheets annually with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could scratch the surface. Regularly inspect the edge profiles and fixings to ensure they remain secure against high winds.
