Roofing Systems

Polycarbonate roofing systems are an innovative solution for modern architecture, offering a blend of durability, aesthetic appeal, and energy efficiency. Made from a thermoplastic polymer, polycarbonate panels are lightweight yet incredibly strong, providing an ideal roofing option for both residential and commercial applications. This webpage delves into the features, benefits, types, installation procedures, maintenance practices, and design considerations related to polycarbonate roofing systems.

When it comes to daylighting buildings from above, light intensity, UV protection and flexible installation is key. Our translucent and transparent dry-glazed solutions are suitable for any type of structure, providing the opportunity to explore new possibilities for designing buildings filled with light.

Our polycarbonate systems are adaptable to meet building-specific performance requirements and design needs.

Our range of roofing systems brings natural light indoors or outdoors, allowing you to illuminate your walkway, balcony or awning.

Our polycarbonate panels are flexible and easy to install, making your design options virtually endless. Tested to protect against UV rays and harsh elements including rain, wind and hail, the structural integrity of the material is retained, even with slight curving.

 Benefits of Polycarbonate Roofing

• High Strength and Durability Polycarbonate panels are robust and resistant to impact, making them an excellent choice for areas prone to hail or severe weather conditions. They can withstand significant weight and force, ensuring long-lasting protection for your structure.
• UV Protection Many polycarbonate roofing systems come with UV-resistant coatings that protect against harmful rays while permitting natural light to filter through. This feature helps prevent fading of interior furnishings and reduces glare for indoor comfort.
• Lightweight and Easy to Install The lightweight nature of polycarbonate makes it easier to handle and install compared to traditional roofing materials like glass or metal. This advantage can lead to reduced labor costs and quicker installation times.
• Thermal Insulation Polycarbonate materials have excellent thermal performance, helping to keep buildings cooler in hot weather and warmer in cold conditions. This thermal efficiency can lead to lower energy costs for heating and cooling.
• Design Versatility Polycarbonate panels are available in various colors, thicknesses, and finishes, allowing for versatile design options. Whether you want a translucent roof to maximize light or a more opaque option for privacy, polycarbonate can cater to your preferences.

• Site Assessment and Preparation Before installation, a thorough evaluation of the existing roof structure and environment is necessary to ensure compatibility. Identify necessary fittings, flashing, and sealing materials based on design needs.
• Material Selection Choose the appropriate type and thickness of polycarbonate panels based on project requirements and desired aesthetic features.
• Structural Framework Install a sturdy framework to support the panels, ensuring proper alignment and spacing for drainage and ventilation.
• Panel Installation Begin laying polycarbonate panels, using appropriate fasteners and seals to ensure airtight installation. Allow for expansion and contraction by not over-tightening the screws.
• Finishing Touches Properly seal joints and edges to prevent leaks, and add any necessary trims or moldings to enhance aesthetics.
