How do you keep polycarbonate roof cool?
Staying Cool under a Polycarbonate Roof
- Go high! By raising the roof height, you move any warm air further above head height.
- Invite in a cross breeze. If you keep one or both gable ends open it will allow any warm air to easily escape.
- Choose your roofing wisely.
- Install a fan.
How long does it take for polycarbonate to yellow?
PLEXIGLAS® does not. Depending on material grade and region, clear-transparent sheets still retain up to 90 % light transmission after 30 years of service life. This is one of the best transmission levels offered by any plastic. We guarantee that PLEXIGLAS® sheets will show no visible yellowing for 30 years.
How thick does polycarbonate need to be walked on?
If you’re using polycarbonate, we recommend a minimum thickness of 3mm for applications such as replacing shed windows to provide adequate security. If you’re replacing or installing greenhouse panes, you may want to opt for 4mm instead.
