Why Should You Use Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets? - Tuflite Polymers

Polycarbonate roofing sheets are highly replacing
glass in a variety of transparent structures
today like greenhouses, conservatories, patios,
stadium roofs, skylights, and much more.
Available in a wide range of types, colours,
textures, and thicknesses to suit your
requirements and preferences, polycarbonates
give designers and architects a variety of
options to play with. But, what is it that has
made polycarbonates a favourite of all?
Polycarbonate is lightweight yet
durable Polycarbonate weighs only half the
weight of glass, which makes it easy to carry and
handle. But, the lightweight characteristic does
not make it prone to being damaged easily. In
fact, polycarbonate is one of the most durable
materials you will ever know! In spite of being
half the weight of glass, polycarbonate has 200
times the impact resistance of glass! This makes
it virtually unbreakable, no matter what kind of
stress it faces from various elements like
stone, rain, hail, snow, and storm. Polycarbonate
is easy to work with As mentioned above,
polycarbonate is very light in weight, which
means it can be easily transported, carried, and
handled. In addition, it can also be cut and
drilled easily, with the help of sharp-toothed
scissors, circular saws, and drilling tools,
without the need for any kind of additional
tools. Also, cutting and drilling

polycarbonate never produces any kinds of harmful
or toxic shards. Drilling on the edges is also
easy, without worrying about the material being
cracked or damaged. Polycarbonate is UV
protected On one side of the polycarbonate sheet
is a special UV protective layer, which does not
let the harmful UV radiations of the sun to
enter the structure. While polycarbonate is
completely transparent to let in maximum
sunlight, it is also UV protected, which means
only safe amount of sunlight can come in. This is
the main reason why polycarbonate roofing sheets
are most preferred to build greenhouses. Polycarb
onate has incredible resistant properties Polycar
bonate does not only have amazing impact
resistance it is resistant to many other
factors. Firstly, it is resistant to fire. This
is because polycarbonate has considerable heat
resistant abilities, which means it doesnt let
fire take up on it. It is also resistant to a
wide range of chemicals, which means no reactions
and no corrosion, making it most preferred in
industrial and marine applications.
Polycarbonates are also resistant to mineral
acids, organic acids, salt solutions, and
oxidizing and reducing agents. Other than the
above mentioned properties, polycarbonates also
have amazing flexibility, malleability,
insulation, and many other qualities. This leaves
no reason why you wouldnt want to use
polycarbonates for your next construction. You
can choose from completely clear and solid
polycarbonates to build a transparent
structure, or from textured and coloured
polycarbonates to build a semi-transparent
structure. Whatever your choice, you can get all
kinds of polycarbonate roofing sheets at Tuflite
Polymers, where the use of natural daylight has
been the focus, which has helped bring
technological solutions with a diverse range of
polycarbonate products to meet all kinds of
roofing requirements ranging from transparent to
