An important word about our Polycarbonate and Acrylic products.We offer
them for all types of applications. Shown here are are variety of pictures
which
indicate very diverse configurations and is an ideal display of clarity,
life of the products under different and harsh condition. We have supplied
products from factories around the world to cleats in all industries
- and in quantity from small units to many thousands
of square feet. Of course, the greenhouse is a major use of the product
but other recent contracts have been:
High impact product for train locomotive windows
- Skylights for resort and industrial uses
- Large aquarium installation
- Large patio covering
- Walkways
- Sheet material for diverse uses
- Insulating and lining panels
- And many more

SO CLEAR, SO TOUGH AND WEATHERABLE,
IT LEAVES POLY IN THE SHADE
Now a better option for for efficient greenhouse coverings a tough, new
corrugated Polycarbonate sheet as well many commercial and industrial
applications.
LEXAN Corrugated sheet provides the crystal clarity
you associate with glass without the heavy weight, high cost and risk
of breakage.
This Polycarbonate covering offers the design flexibility, easy installation
and economy you get from fiberglass without premature surface deterioration
or loss of light transmission. With service life years longer. than polyethylene
or fiberglass, and more economical than glass, LEXAN Corrugated sheet
fills an important cost/performance niche in rigid coverings.
Check These Outstanding Features.
Up to 90% light transmission by ASTM standards.
- Toughness - 20 times the impact strength of fiberglass. Greater than
40 times the impact strength of glass and acrylic.
- Integral UV resistance.
- Light weight.
- Formability.
- Condensate control.
- Available in polished and matte clear, as well as tints.
- Made in U.S.A.
Impact Strength
This rigid Polycarbonate sheet offers impact resistance superior to glass,
fiberglass and acrylic. A LEXAN Corrugated sheet.O33 in (.8mm) thick can
withstand over 240 in-lbs of impact Compare this to tempered glass, fiberglass
or structured acrylic. And, LEXAN Corrugated sheet maintains its impact
properties at temperatures ranging from 40o
to 250oF.
COMMECIAL, INDUSTRIAL
AND AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS
GE Twin wall offers the highest quality Polycarbonate in the broadest range
of types. These are high strength sheet materials with high light transmission
and are extremely energy efficient (up to 50% energy savings). Excellent
impact-resistant characteristics. The industry's best warranty - it is GE,
of course - a full 10 year warranty. The material is cut to length. Drip
guards help prevent condensation water from dripping on crops. All types
of aluminum or Polycarbonate extrusions for sidewalls, end walls, roof,
etc.
Excellent uses and cost effective applications for:
- Greenhouses
- Skylights
- Covered walkways
- Sun rooms
- Canopies
- Retail outlets
- Industrial applications
Contact us for various designs and options.
It is always best to put permanent material in tech ends
of houses because it is extremely difficult to form Poly
around equipment. All great for sidewalls on Quonsetter,
Quality Plus etc. where you
have a 4 ft plus wall.
Installing Twin wall Polycarbonate
Taking care of some simple techniques will make your projects successful.
- Always install the sheets with the flutes oriented vertically. When
used as a roof covering, design with at least a 5 degree slope, never
horizontal.
- Remember to allow for expansion and contraction in every installation.
Bronze and Gray panels change more in size. Use extrusions that allow
for sufficient edge engagement plus the expansion allowance.
- Panels can be cut with protective masking in place with a fine tooth
saw or a sharp knife. Remember to remove the masking prior to final
fixing in place. Chips from cutting should be blown out of the flutes.
- The specially treated weather side is identified on the masking. This
side must always face the exterior.
- In vertical installations, the top flutes should be capped with an
extrusion or tape and the bottom left open for drainage. Vented tape
can be used on the bottom.
Storage of Panels
The sheets should be stacked on a solid flat surface. Store out of direct
sun to avoid accumulated heat effects. Cover for protection. Never use flexible
vinyl sheets as a cover as the plasticizes may react with the Polycarbonate.
