How To Measure and Cut-To-Size Policy | Close it

Cut-To-Size Items are Non-Returnable!

As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under \"Comments\" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.

Measure Twice, Cut Once

Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.

How to Use a Measuring Tape

Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.

Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2\" has a bigger mark than 1/4\" which has a bigger mark than 1/8\". The smallest mark follows at 1/16\". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.

Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook

The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).

Custom-Cut 16mm Polycarbonate Storm Panels

Custom-sized 16mm RDC Storm Panels offer tailored window and door defense for residential and commercial structures facing severe weather. By ordering panels pre-cut to your exact dimensions, you streamline the preparation process for active hurricane seasons.

Manufactured as a resilient, lighter-weight substitute for traditional metal shutters or plywood, these multiwall panels are designed to help protect openings like windows and doors from windborne debris while permitting daylight to enter. They are a popular material choice for coastal properties and storm-prone regions.

Important Notice: Due to the custom nature of cut-to-size materials, all sales on custom-cut 16mm storm panels are final. Returns or refunds are not accepted after shipment. For bulk quoting and specialized shipping, contact our sales team at 888-768-5759.

Why Choose Cut-to-Size 16mm Storm Panels?

These specialized multiwall panels are manufactured for rigorous window and door protection and are custom-cut to your specifications. These panels are the correct choice when your project requires:

Miami-Dade NOA Approved System:
Covered under Miami-Dade County NOA 24-0624.02 for 5/8" RDC storm panel shutter applications when installed as approved.
Impact Resistance:
Designed to resist impacts from heavy windborne debris and reduce the risk of glass breakage during severe events.
Severe Wind Tolerance:
Evaluated to endure simulated hurricane-force positive and negative pressure cycles up to 170 MPH.
Daylight Illumination:
Maintains visibility and interior lighting during power outages by allowing natural daylight to penetrate the protective barrier.

Cut-to-Size 16mm RDC vs. Standard Multiwall

While both share a polycarbonate base, their structural ratings differ significantly.

  • Choose Cut-to-Size 16mm RDC Storm Panels (This Material) if your project requires Miami-Dade compliance and hurricane-level wind mitigation. Ordering them pre-cut reduces on-site fabrication time.
  • Choose Standard Multiwall Polycarbonate for basic architectural applications, such as patio covers or greenhouses, where approved impact-rated storm protection is not required.

Installation & Handling

Having your panels pre-cut minimizes fabrication time, but proper deployment remains critical. Installers must adhere to the official NOA documentation for correct fastener spacing, substrate conditions, and edge engagement to maintain the approved installation.

Performance ratings depend on approved installation methods, substrate conditions, fastener spacing, panel size, and local code requirements. Always review the current NOA and installation documentation before specifying or installing storm panels.
