Planning and Installation

What Should Be Considered?

Sheet thickness, fixing and substructure must be appropriate for the respective application. Polycarbonate expands and contracts with temperature changes and therefore requires sufficient allowance for movement.

  • Use suitable and sharp tools.
  • Leave the protective film on the sheet during fabrication.
  • Allow for edge distances and thermal expansion.
  • Follow the technical data sheets and installation instructions.
  • Check structural requirements and local building regulations for the specific project.
