Polycarbonate sheeting presents itself as a leading material due to its durable and rigid structure. Typically polycarbonate sheeting is formed into a sheet by an extrusion process. Its impact resistance is 250 times that of glass and surpasses many other plastic materials such as acrylic. Essentially, it’s virtually unbreakable.
Our KUNYAN Polycarbonate sheeting comes in different styles, most notably Twinwall and Multiwall. The choice to choose polycarbonate sheeting for your next project might be simple but understanding which type you need might not be.
What is Twinwall polycarbonate sheeting?
Twinwall sheeting refers to two exterior pieces of polycarbonate connected by an interior plastic support that allows the two sheets to run parallel to one another. This method of layering increasingly enhances its strength and ability to support weight, furthering its favourability as a material for projects.
all of our Twinwall Polycarbonate is characterised by high optical clarity, light transmission, impact resistance and durability. We provide all of our Twinwall sheeting in a vast range of sizes with varying depths:
