Uv Resistant Plastic Roofing

Even if unpainted pvc is commonly used to provide shielding for underground wires that require additional protection from the elements.

Uv resistant plastic roofing.

Pvc is not inherently uv resistant but is often covered in uv resistant paint to prevent degradation. These sheets can be cold formed over arches compromising the uv co extruded exterior surface. With the uv blocking capabilities of polycarbonate it is a perfect material for constructing awnings or sunroom roofing. Polycarbonate sheet uv abrasion resistant.

These properties of polycarbonate also make it the ideal material for the construction of greenhouses. 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. Our clear greenhouse plastic sheeting also has the additional benefit of staying cleaner and attracting less dust while washing off dirt more easily. Polycarbonate panels are resistant to extreme temperature either hot or cold sunlight snow rain and impact.

Backed by a limited seven year warranty against breakage and loss of light transmission makrolon ar abrasion resistant polycarbonate sheet features a proprietary hardcoat technology that offers protection against chemical and uv attack. Used for industrial roofing cladding skylight rooflights and sidelight applications worldwide it maintains its features and appearance for years and is easy to assemble. Another plastic to consider is polyethylene especially ultra high molecular weight polyethylene uhmw.
