Want cover without losing daylight?
Polycarbonate Roofing
Polycarbonate is what you use when a roof must not create a dark space underneath. Courtyards, stair covers, passages between blocks, shop fronts and side setbacks are its natural home.

Clear or tinted, impact-resistant, the standard residential choice.
View product6 mm multiwall
Diffused light and better thermal behaviour over larger spans.

Design considerations
- Tint choice — white, brown or green changes glare and heat
- Purlin spacing suited to sheet thickness
- Expansion allowance at fixings so sheets do not crack
