How To Safely Install A Polycarbonate Roof - Tuflite Polymers

Polycarbonate sheets have innumerous benefits
over other traditional materials like glass,
which is why it is preferred by most designers
and architects for building transparent
structures. And, this is the reason so many
polycarbonate sheet manufacturers are coming up
in the country.
One of the most important properties that
polycarbonate possesses is that it can let in
maximum sunlight while keeping away the harmful
UV radiations. Although sunlight is essential
for both plants and humans, over exposure to it
is bad. Sunlight stimulates the production of
vitamin D in the body, which strengthens bone
health. Sunlight can also boost immunity, build
up strong muscles, and help in sterilization and
disinfection. But, over-exposure can cause skin
cancer, sunburn, premature ageing, and eye
damage. Similarly, plants needs sunlight to grow
and help in the process of photosynthesis, but
over-exposure of sunlight can also cause plants
to burn and die. So, we realize how sunlight is
necessary, but only in moderate quantity. This is
why when you are planning to build transparent
structures like sheds, pergolas, patios,
greenhouses, conservatories, or carports,
polycarbonate is the best option to avoid any
adverse effects on human bodies, plants, and
even your cars! Polycarbonate will let you enjoy
maximum sunlight during the day by providing
almost 90 of the sunrays inside, while keeping
away the harmful UV radiations.

• Another interesting thing about polycarbonate is
  that it is so light in weight that it can be
  carried and transported easily without the need
  of any additional tools or labour. Also, it is
  very easy to install. You neednt call upon a
  professional to install a polycarbonate roof. You
  can do so on your own, only if you follow the
  right methods and precautions. Here are a few
  things you will have to bear in mind while
  installing polycarbonate roofs.
• First and foremost, you are installing
  polycarbonate roofs so that you are protected
  against the suns UV radiations. So, it is
  important to install the sheet in the right
  direction. This is because polycarbonates have a
  UV protection layer on only one side. So, you
  need to find out which side it is and install
  the sheet accordingly. If installed on the
  reverse side, you will not be able to reap the
  advantages offered by polycarbonate. So, the
  first thing you need to do is find out the
  correct side and install the UV protected side on
  the outside, facing the sun.
• Cutting and drilling polycarbonate is very easy,
  and requires only sharp-toothed scissors or
  circular saws, without any additional tools,
  machinery, or labour. So, all you need is sharp
  scissors or power saws avoid high-speed cut-off
  wheels as they can melt the polycarbonate sheet.
• Also, cutting and drilling of polycarbonate does
  not produce any harmful fumes or shard, so you
  neednt worry about hurting yourself. But, you
  could always be safe by wearing gloves and
  eyeglasses.
• After the entire installation, you will want to
  clean your structure to make it shine. For
  cleaning away the dirt and dust accumulated, all
  you need is a soft cloth and soapy water. Avoid
  using any abrasive tools and hard chemicals, or
  you may damage your sheet.
• So, you can see how installing, cutting,
  drilling, and cleaning polycarbonate sheets are
  so simple. With so much of ease and so many
  benefits, there is no reason to say No to
  polycarbonate. But yes, you will have to purchase
