What is a polycarbonate channel sheet?

A polycarbonate channel sheet is a sheet very similar to plexiglass. Polycarbonate channel sheets are lightweight and durable building materials made of polycarbonate, which is a thermoplastic polymer known for its exceptional strength and flexibility. The sheets have a unique structure with air channels between the two walls, making them both translucent and insulating.

What is the difference between plexiglass and polycarbonate?

Plexiglas and polycarbonate are both popular plastic materials often used as alternatives to glass because of their lightness, durability and transparency. However, there are important differences between the two:

  • Material properties: Plexiglass, also known as acrylic glass, is stiffer and harder than polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is more flexible and impact-resistant, making it ideal for applications where impact resistance is important.
  • Heat resistance: Polycarbonate has higher heat resistance than plexiglass and can tolerate temperatures better without deforming.
  • Weight: Plexiglass is lighter than polycarbonate, which can be useful in applications where weight saving is important.
  • Scratch sensitivity: Plexiglass is more sensitive to scratches than polycarbonate.
  • Cost: Plexiglass is generally cheaper than polycarbonate.

Which is better, plexiglass or polycarbonate?

The best material depends on the specific application of the sheet. If impact resistance and heat resistance are important, a polycarbonate sheet may be the better choice. Plexiglas is suitable for less demanding applications where weight saving and cost efficiency are important.

Application of a polycarbonate channel sheet

Because polycarbonate channel sheets are insulating and translucent, they are suitable for a wide range of applications in the construction and design world. Examples include the construction of conservatories, patio covers and all kinds of industrial roofing. However, these plastic hollow core sheets also function excellently as noise barriers.

Polycarbonate channel sheets are suitable for the following applications, among others:

  • Greenhouses and greenhouse structures
  • Terrace covers
  • Noise barriers
  • Industrial roofing

How should you mount a polycarbonate channel plate?

When fitting polycarbonate channel sheets, it is essential to proceed carefully. Start by removing the protective plastic on both the top and bottom of the sheets. Tape off the back of the sheets with dense tape to prevent dirt. Use tape with holes at the ends to drain moisture and prevent condensation, while keeping insects and dust out. Place the boards in the intermediate profiles of the structure for secure fixing.
