Polycarbonate Twinwall Sheet, Profile, & Accessories

Twinwall polycarbonate is made up of two polycarbonate layers while multiwall polycarbonate is made up of three or more polycarbonate layers. These layers are fused together using a process called co-extrusion.

Twinwall and multiwall are ideal glazing materials for outdoor applications because of their high impact resistance, durability, and insulation properties. Twinwall and multiwall polycarbonate provide superior insulation against temperature and noise, and the sheet is lightweight and easy to install. Twinwall and multiwall's high impact resistance make them a perfect choice for storm protection, while their UV protection properties make them an ideal choice for greenhouses and windows.

Twinwall polycarbonate generally has a lifespan of 10 years in exterior applications.

Twinwall polycarbonate is stronger, more flexible, and more impact resistant than glass while weighing significantly less. It be cold formed or easily machined to fit a variety of configurations and applications.

Twinwall is made up of two layers of polycarbonate sheet attached by smaller pieces of material, leaving channels of empty space in-between. Polycarbonate, also abbreviated as PC, is an amorphous engineering thermoplastic that is made by the condensation of carbonic acid and bisphenol. The design of twinwall gives the material strong impact resistance and weight support.

Twinwall polycarbonate can be cut with standard equipment such as circular saws, hand saws, and hacksaws. It is important to not remove any protective film before cutting the material. If any shavings get into the flutes of the twinwall, the shavings can be removed with a can of pressurized air or a vacuum.

Counties in hurricane-prone areas such as Miami Dade County in Florida have rated multiwall polycarbonate storm panels for window and door protection during storms and hurricanes. Tough, incredibly impact resistant, lightweight, and clear, polycarbonate storm panels have been thoroughly tested and withstand high-velocity impacts from debris as well as hurricane force winds.

Plywood, metal storm shutters, and multiwall polycarbonate storm panels placed over windows serve as protective materials that can prevent them from breaking from the force of high winds or flying debris. Polycarbonate storm panels are highly impact resistant and more lightweight than metal shutter systems, allowing them to be easily installed over windows and removed or placed in storage once the storm or hurricane has passed.

Multiwall polycarbonate storm panels are an excellent way to protect windows from hurricane force winds, rain, and debris. Miami Dade County rated RDC storm panels resist large missile impacts and are lighter than metal hurricane shutters, allowing easier installation and removal. Unlike metal, polycarbonate storm panels are clear and will allow natural light through.
