Translucent roof sheets are an excellent option if you want to keep certain areas dry but don’t want to block out all of the natural light. These roof types can look quite impressive because they come in many different colours and will keep interior spaces from looking too dark.
If you are considering this roof material for your home, for garden structures, or want to use it as a roof for a porch then you should take a closer look at all of the pros and cons of this functional material.
Polycarbonate roof sheeting is a type of roof sheet that is made from plastic. This type of plastic is also referred to as plastic steel because it is the strongest plastic in existence. The roof panels are made from thermoplastic polymers and they can vary quite a bit in design and size. These roof sheets can also be designed with UV-blocking technology and they come in various hues that range from completely transparent to colourfully tinted.
The roof material is designed to block out some UV rays and rain but will still allow lots of natural light to get through.
These plastic roof sheets are just as functional as any other metal roof sheet or panel. They are often used along with metal sheeting in warehouse rooftops because they allow lots of light into the building so you can see well without turning on the lights. The sheets can also be practical as skylights in homes that don’t have any ceilings.
For the most part, these roof sheets are used for walkways, porches, and verandas. They can also be very useful for creating gorgeous agricultural greenhouses and are often used over swimming pools. Some also use the roof sheets as an alternative to glass for wall partitions or even as wall panelling so you can create an open look for a building or shed while still protecting the interior from natural elements.
Polycarbonate sheets are extremely popular because they offer many advantages. There are, however, a couple of cons that you should be aware of.
Pros
The different colour varieties can make spaces look quite interesting. The sheets are affordable compared to glass.
