Despite its light weight, multiwall polycarbonate is much tougher and stronger than glass. It is virtually unbreakable and can withstand heavy storms, hailstones and snow.
At Twinfix we supply multiwall polycarbonate that has a UV coating. This protects if from the degrading effects of ultra-violet radiation in natural sunlight.
Care must be taken when handling and installing multiwall polycarbonate sheet in order to prevent damage. Each sheet is protected on both sides with a masking film. The film should remain on until installation. You should never use a craft knife to remove the film, as this will damage the surface. Simply peel the masking film away from edge where it will be covered by the glazing bars and remove it completely once installation is complete. Do not leave it in place once installation is finished. Sheet should be cleaned with warm soapy water, never use abrasive detergents or proprietary cleaning products.
