Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Does polycarbonate protect from the sun?
- Yes, polycarbonate has a UV coating that effectively protects against the harmful effects of solar radiation, preventing yellowing and excessive surface heating.
- Which color polycarbonate to choose for a terrace?
- Depending on the desired effect, you can use clear, milky (opal), or smoked polycarbonate. Clear provides maximum light, milky (opal) diffuses sunlight, while smoked limits excessive heating of the space.
- How to install polycarbonate?
- Polycarbonate can be fastened using spacer screws or special mounting profiles. It is important to remember to maintain appropriate gaps for the material’s thermal expansion.
- Solid or multiwall polycarbonate – which to choose?
- If impact resistance and durability are important, solid polycarbonate sheet will be a better choice. However, multiwall polycarbonate will be suitable where thermal insulation is key.
- What to use to glue polycarbonate?
- It is best to use adhesives dedicated for plastics, such as polyurethane or silicone adhesives, which provide a durable and flexible bond.
- What to use to clean polycarbonate without damaging its surface?
- For cleaning polycarbonate, it is best to use a soft cloth and water with mild detergents. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners and abrasive sponges, which could scratch the surface.
