FAQs

Can I cut these sheets to size?

Yes, polycarbonate sheets can be cut using a fine-toothed saw or circular saw with a blade designed for plastic.

Is the bronze tint transparent?

The bronze tint is translucent; it allows soft, diffused light to pass through while providing significant shading and heat protection.

How many sheets do I need for my project?

Divide the total width of your roof area by 800mm (accounting for any required overlap) to determine the number of sheets needed.

Are these sheets UV protected?

Yes, the high-quality polycarbonate material is engineered to resist UV degradation, preventing yellowing and brittleness over time.

What is the best way to secure these to a wooden frame?

Use hex-head roofing screws with EPDM rubber washers, driving them through the 'crown' of the corrugation to minimize leak risks.

Can I paint the sheets?

It is not recommended, as paint will not adhere well to the polycarbonate surface and may cause the material to absorb more heat, leading to premature warping.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at screw points

Ensure that sealing washers are used with each fastener and that the screws were not overtightened, which can warp the seal.

Sheet appears to be expanding or buckling

Check that the screw holes are drilled slightly larger than the screw shank to allow for natural thermal expansion of the polycarbonate.

Surface appears dull after cleaning

Ensure you are using a mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid solvent-based cleaners that can cloud the polycarbonate material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly stronger and more durable than PVC alternatives
  • Bronze tint provides excellent glare reduction and UV protection
  • Lightweight material makes handling and installation manageable for DIYers
  • Corrugated design provides superior structural support against wind and rain

Cons

  • Bronze tint reduces light transmission compared to clear polycarbonate
  • Requires careful planning to ensure alignment with existing support structures
  • Fixed dimensions of 800x1060mm may require multiple sheets for larger projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard roofing tools, including a drill with appropriate bits and suitable fasteners designed for polycarbonate sheeting. When installing, always ensure the sheets are oriented with the ribs running in the direction of the slope to facilitate proper drainage.

  • Fastening: Use recommended roofing screws with weather-sealing washers to avoid leaks at the penetration points. Do not overtighten screws, as the material needs room for minor thermal expansion and contraction.
  • Compatibility: Ensure your support beams are spaced correctly according to your local building codes to prevent sagging over long spans.
  • Care: Clean the sheets annually using a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive brushes or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the polycarbonate surface and degrade the finish.
