What Is Polycarbonate Sheeting？

   Polycarbonate sheeting is a type of building material used to replace glass in a variety of applications. Polycarbonate sheeting are made of the imported raw materials, With UV coating, it typically offers greater flexibility and shatter-resistance than acrylics or plexiglass.

   One of the primary advantages to this type of sheeting is its high strength to weight ratio. Compared to glass, polycarbonate sheeting is very light, but also highly resistant to shattering and damage. This shatter resistance makes this material much safer than glass, which could lead to injuries if broken. Polycarbonate sheeting also acts as a sound barrier, and may help control UV-light infiltration. It also offers a high degree of flexibility, making it easy to form each sheet into the desired shape.

   Compared to some other composite plastic sheeting products, polycarbonate sheeting tends to be fairly expensive. It may also be susceptible to damage or failure if exposed to high temperatures. Like other plastic sheet goods, polycarbonate sheeting may suffer surface scratches due to a variety of factors. These scratches can be removed using special polishes or cleaning products, though some may be permanent. Over time, excess scratching can cause the surface to appear dull, and may reduce visibility and light transmittance.

Install Corrugated Roofing

1.Cut the panels to the length. Use either a circular saw or a jig saw with metal blades.

Most panels come up to 32 feet (9.8 m) in length. Allow for a minimum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) if you need to lap to complete the run.

2.Pre-drill holes on the ridges. Use a 3/16-inch (4.76 ml) drill bit.

Spacing for the holes on the ends and sides of the panels should be 6 to 8 inches (15.3 to 20.4 cm).

3.Install the panels. Place them directly onto purlins that are attached to the roof trusses, beginning on the outside edge.

Close or seal off the ends with a wood or plastic strip under the panel at each end. These will stop the entry of rain, wind and pests.

4.Screw down the panels. Pre-drill the holes, and use #10X2-inch (#10X5.2 cm) screws with polycarbonate washers.

Continue across the roof until it is completely covered, lapping over the previous panel by at least 2.5 inches (5.5 cm) minimum.

Adjust the lap so that the last panel completes the coverage without making a cut lengthwise.

5.Complete the opposite side. If your roof is two-sided (and not just a single slope), repeat the installation on the other side of the roof, and install a corrugated ridge cap as you proceed across with the panels.

Polycarbonate sheet mounting instruction

1.   Cut off 5-10cm of the protective film before inserting pc sheets to the support frame , because the protective films would cause inefficient adhesive between tamping and pc sheets.

2.   Since the expansion and contraction degree of pc sheets, are different from that of medal frames, as well as pc sheets are flexible and taking air pressure, therefore, approapriate insertion, reserving space for expansion and shrink because of temperauture changes, and choosing suitable thickness of pc sheets are necessary. General plate should be inserted into fixed frame for over 25 mm, with at least 2 ribs installed into the fixed zone,3mm place will be reserved for expansion or shrinkage.(expansion ratio:0.065mm/moC)

What is polycarbonate?

Polycarbonates are high-molecular weight, amorphous engineering thermoplastics that are characterized by a combination of outstanding impact strength, superior dimensional stability, glass-like transparency, remarkable thermal resistance and good electrical properties. In addition, they have a ductility that is normally associated with softer, lower-modulus thermoplastics. Polycarbonate is distinguishable from other engineering thermoplastics by its freedom of design; it allows engineers selecting a combination of these properties to meet specification requirements for a broad range of application needs.

Polycarbonate has good thermoforming characteristics. When formed, fabricated, machined and finished according to recommended techniques and procedures for secondary operations, the final result will be a high quality product.

Dry-type installation method

The dry-type, do not use sealant. We recommend accessories with the perfect combination with YUEMEI pc sheet, sheet expansion over the sealant may sometimes occur, and also from aesthetic aspects. From aesthetics, this “dry-type” installation method is the ideal solution.

The advantages of dry-type installation method: rubber pad/sealing tape lock sheet, The sealing tape is pressed on the inside of the bar (aluminum profiles).Sheet can move freely in the thermal expansion and shrink.

YUEMEI Polycarbonate sheet installation announcements

1)  Select the thickness of sheet exactly and consider the radius of curvature, flat type construction should be inclined of 11%. So as to dry the water.

(2)  In order to prevent internal stress, a certain expansion gap should be reserved to the sheet, like gap 3MM per meter.

(3)  The edge of the sheet should be minimum 25mm stretched in to frame. Install it into the fixed area.

(4)  Immediately remove protective film after installation is completed, then recover the film on the sheet one more time, until the completion of the project and then peel it off.

Polycarbonate sheet construction announcements

(1).Select the appropriate thickness sheet and reserve the pc expansion coefficient.

(2).Cut with power tools (including the “carbonation” circular saw).

(3).Remove the protective film after installation (protective film can not be under sun and rain directly over two days).

(4).Avoid fixing screws on pc sheet, if cannot be avoided, the pc board hole should be larger and use a retainer screws, don’t fix too tightly.

(5).When cleaning, use a mild soap or detergent, sponge or soft cloth to wipe, and then cleaning thoroughly with warm water.

(6).Do not fix with pull nails and self-tapping screws directly （easier for thermal expansion or rupture, cause damage）.

(7).PC sheet have thermal expansion or contraction, to ensure that the surface is flat and beautiful after construction and pc sheet durability, it is recommended that construction to avoid interval use a pc sheet.

(8).Between spans, recommend add cross material, firm frames can reduce force to the pc sheet, enlarge pc sheet service life.

Polycarbonate solid sheet detail

Polycarbonate solid sheet has good toughness and cold-bending features, can be designed into various arched structure, its radius must be greater than the radius of curvature of the limits of the polycarbonate sheet. The following table shows some of the specifications of the polycarbonate solid sheet limit the radius of curvature.
