Overview
Lexan* Thermoclear* Multiwall polycarbonate sheeting is
available in a range of colours and gauges for use in a wide range of
commercial, industrial and domestic applications. Light weight, easy
installation, excellent thermal insulation and solar properties make Lexan*
Thermoclear* sheet an attractive and very cost effective alternative to glass.
Typical applications
- Covered walkways
- Pergolas
- Shopping Centres
- Sports Complexes
- Industrial Glazing
- Swimming Pool Enclosures
- Screening/Partitioning
- Greenhouses
Effective thermal insulation
The Kelvin value for 10mm Thermoclear* Multiwall is 3.0. Thicker sheets have
still lower K-values.
UV protection to both sides of sheet
Both sides of the sheet have co-extruded UV protection to provide high
resistance to yellowing and the damaging effects of UV radiation. This feature
eliminates the problem of sheets being installed with an unprotected surface
exposed to the weather with resultant UV damage. Angle cuts can be reversed, so
there is also an economic gain when cutting requirements are high.
