Yes, they can be easily cut using a fine-toothed hand saw or a circular saw with a blade designed for plastic.
While durable, the suitability for snow depends on the spacing of your supporting structure; ensure your purlin spacing accounts for local snow load requirements.
Most sheets have a specific UV-protected side; look for the label or mark on the packaging to ensure the UV side faces outward.
No, do not walk directly on the panels. Use crawling boards to distribute your weight across the support structure during installation or maintenance.
With proper installation and basic maintenance, they are designed to last for many years without significant yellowing or loss of structural integrity.
This is likely due to thermal expansion. Ensure your fastener holes are slightly oversized to provide room for movement.
Check that the EPDM washers are seated correctly and are not overtightened or damaged during installation.
Clean the panels using a soft sponge or cloth with lukewarm water and a very mild soap solution.
Installation requires standard carpentry tools, including a fine-toothed saw or circular saw with a plastic-cutting blade. Always ensure that the purlins (roof supports) are spaced according to local load requirements. When drilling holes for fasteners, make them slightly larger than the screw shank to allow for the natural thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate; failing to do so may lead to 'creaking' sounds or panel cracking. Always use specialized roofing screws equipped with EPDM rubber washers to ensure a watertight seal. For maintenance, a simple rinse with clean water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent is sufficient. Avoid using harsh solvents or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface and diminish the clarity of the panels.
