No, painting is not recommended as it will interfere with the light transmission and may negatively affect the UV-protective surface layer.
While it depends on your specific snow and wind load, standard practice is to space rafters according to your local building codes, usually between 600mm and 900mm.
Polycarbonate is generally self-extinguishing, but you should always check your local building regulations regarding fire safety ratings for roofing materials.
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and keep them flat to prevent warping or deformation.
Yes, always install the side marked with the UV-protective label facing upward toward the sun to ensure the integrity of the material.
Yes, the panels are suitable for vertical applications like privacy screens or shed walls, provided they are secured firmly to a frame.
Ensure that high-quality EPDM or rubber washers were used and that screws are not overtightened, which can warp the panel material.
This is typically caused by thermal expansion; ensure that your pilot holes are large enough to allow the panel to move slightly as temperatures change.
Use a fine-tooth blade and apply masking tape along the cutting line to minimize splintering and ensure a clean, precise edge.
Installation requires a basic set of tools including a circular saw with a fine-toothed blade for cutting, a drill, and appropriate gaskets for the fasteners. Always drill holes slightly larger than the diameter of the screws to account for the natural thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate in varying temperatures.
For care, avoid using abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes, as these can scratch the surface and diminish the UV protection. A simple solution of mild soap and lukewarm water applied with a soft sponge is sufficient. Avoid walking directly on the panels during or after installation; always use stepping boards placed across the supporting rafters to distribute your weight evenly and prevent damage.
