Uv Resistant Plastic Roofing

With the uv blocking capabilities of polycarbonate it is a perfect material for constructing awnings or sunroom roofing.

Uv resistant plastic roofing. Another plastic to consider is polyethylene especially ultra high molecular weight polyethylene uhmw. In addition we have special resins infused to keep uv resistant greenhouse plastic sheeting flexible in cold weather yet stable and tough under hot conditions. Polycarbonate panels are resistant to extreme temperature either hot or cold sunlight snow rain and impact. Even if unpainted pvc is commonly used to provide shielding for underground wires that require additional protection from the elements.

Polycarbonate sheet uv abrasion resistant. In addition these polycarbonate sheets are 250 times more impact resistant than glass and 30 times more impact resistant than acrylic creating an excellent guard against hail and eliminating the risk of breakage during installation and transport. Pvc is not inherently uv resistant but is often covered in uv resistant paint to prevent degradation. Our clear greenhouse plastic sheeting also has the additional benefit of staying cleaner and attracting less dust while washing off dirt more easily.

These properties of polycarbonate also make it the ideal material for the construction of greenhouses. Used for industrial roofing cladding skylight rooflights and sidelight applications worldwide it maintains its features and appearance for years and is easy to assemble. These sheets can be cold formed over arches compromising the uv co extruded exterior surface.
