Because of their many benefits, polycarbonate sheets have been replacing acrylic and glass in many applications. They are available in many thicknesses and qualities. They are lighter than glass and more durable than glass. These are just a few reasons that polycarbonates are so popular in construction.
This material was not available in commercial buildings at the time, as they were expensive to buy. The first time you saw a polycarbonate roof in a cafe, restaurant, lounge, or office was when it was very popular. People started to choose this material more as they became more aware of its many benefits. The material was in high demand, which led to lower costs. It is now so inexpensive that it can be used for a variety of residential constructional purposes. Instead of using glass for doors and windows in the home, polycarbonate is used instead. These sheets can also be used to enhance modern home decors. These sheets can also be used for decks, patios, and balconies. They are also used extensively in commercial projects such as greenhouses, offices, carports, stations on railways, and sports stadiums.
Polycarbonate is widely used because of its many advantages. Below are some of the key benefits.
Construction is easy
Polycarbonates are light and durable. They are easy to install. They are easy to handle and can be attached with screws or support rods. These sheets can also be cut easily with sharp-edged scissors or circular saws, without any additional machinery or tools.
Lower costs
Polycarbonate’s light weight makes it easy to transport, handle and carry. This means that labour costs and transport costs are greatly reduced. This makes polycarbonates more affordable after purchase.
Versatility
Because polycarbonate is strong and flexible, it allows for more creativity in the design of structures. Polycarbonate structures can be made into domes, igloos, and other fancy shapes, which is a big advantage over glass.
Resistance property
Polycarbonates resist impact and other damage. These sheets can be used where there is a possibility of stone, hail, rain and wind. These sheets are resistant to breaking and do not leave behind harmful shards of glass. These sheets are also resistant to flames and don’t emit toxic gases when they catch fire. They can be used in areas that are prone to flames.
Sound barrier
Polycarbonate’s ultimate property to block sound makes them a popular choice for areas where privacy is required, such as conference rooms or office cabins.
Protect your skin from ultraviolet rays
Polycarbonate has the unique ability to let in maximum sunlight and block out harmful UV radiations. It is therefore the best choice if you want maximum sunlight to enter your home without causing harm. It is the most popular greenhouse light because of its ability to protect plants from burning and help them grow well.
