Polycarbonate is a resilient thermoplastic material that provides excellent insulation and helps reduce cooling costs through keeping the direct heat and sun away from your windows and doors.

Polycarbonate is one of the most durable and weather-resistant building products available on the market today.

How is it possible for polycarbonate sheets to block heat?

The simple answer is yes, it is often touted for its ability to block heat. And while it’s true that polycarbonate has good heat-blocking properties, it’s important to understand how it works to appreciate how effective this product could be.

Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic material used for forming products for example Danpalon Multicell products  that contains multiple layers of molecules. These layers work together to reflect and scatter sunlight.  This polycarbonate product selection assists with reducing the amount of heat that enters a building, but it’s not likely to keep the inside cool on its own.

The multicell polycarbonate sheeting makes it the perfect selection to protect outdoor patio furniture from fading and other weather-related damage.

How do you stop condensation on polycarbonate roofing?

Condensation occurs when humid air comes into contact with a cold surface, such as polycarbonate. That can cause the polycarbonate to become foggy or even form water droplets.

There are several ways to prevent condensation on polycarbonate panels:

  • Install a vapour barrier between the polycarbonate and the interior of the structure.
  • Use a dehumidifier to reduce the amount of moisture in the air.
  • Polycarbonate can be treated with a coating that helps to repel water.

By taking one or more of these measures, it is possible to prevent condensation on polycarbonate panels.

Which polycarbonate roofing is best?

There are a few things to consider to ensure you’re getting the best product for your needs. One important factor is the thickness of the polycarbonate sheets, which vary from 4mm to 20mm. Thicker sheets are more durable. Another thing to consider is UV protection. Some polycarbonate sheets have UV-coated panels that help to deflect harmful rays.
