Installation Guide: Polycarbonate Corrugated Sheets

This guide provides general instructions for installing corrugated polycarbonate sheets. For detailed information and product-specific recommendations, please refer to our comprehensive installation catalogue.

Safety First: Ensure optimal protection by wearing gloves, safety glasses, and long sleeves when handling polycarbonate sheets.

Proper Storage: Store sheets flat on a stable surface, protected from direct sunlight and weather to prevent warping or damage.

Acclimatisation: If the sheets have been in cold storage, allow them to adjust to room temperature before installation to minimise warping.

Gather Tools: Assemble the necessary tools, including a utility knife, saw (circular or jigsaw recommended for cleaner cuts), drill, and screwdriver.

General Installation Steps

1. Preparation

Measure and Cut: Carefully measure the installation area and cut the polycarbonate sheet to size, leaving a small gap for thermal expansion (consult the catalogue for specific recommendations on gap size).
Identify UV Protection: Locate the UV-protected side of the sheet (usually marked with a film). This side should face upwards during installation for maximum UV protection

2. Support Structure

Strength and Level: Ensure your support structure (framing, rafters, etc.) is level, plumb, and can handle the weight of the polycarbonate sheets. Refer to the catalogue for recommended spacing between support beams to ensure proper load distribution.

3. Cutting and Drilling

Sharp Cuts: Use a sharp blade or saw to cut the polycarbonate sheet, ensuring clean and precise cuts. Avoid scoring or scratching the surface to maintain its integrity.
Proper Drilling: Drill holes at least 2-3 times the diameter of the fastener away from the sheet's edge to prevent cracking. Use drill bits specifically designed for plastics for optimal results.

4. Fastening

Appropriate Fasteners: Use appropriate fasteners with washers designed for polycarbonate sheets to ensure a secure and weatherproof connection. Do not over-tighten, as this can cause the sheet to crack.
Thermal Expansion: Allow for thermal expansion by using slightly oversized holes and slotted fastening points (consult the catalogue for details on recommended hole size and slot design).

5. Sealing (Optional)

Enhanced Weatherproofing: For certain applications, a silicone sealant compatible with polycarbonate may be used to improve weatherproofing. Refer to the catalogue for specific sealant recommendations to ensure compatibility.

6. Protective Film Removal

Final Touches: Once installation is complete, carefully peel off the protective film from both sides of the sheet to reveal the sheet's clarity and finish.

Cleaning and Maintaining Polycarbonate Corrugated Sheets

Polycarbonate Corrugated sheets, including transparent, translucent, and opaque varieties, are known for their durability and clarity. To ensure they stay looking their best and function optimally for years to come, follow these simple cleaning and maintenance tips:

1. Regular Cleaning: Gently clean your polycarbonate Corrugated sheets periodically to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Here's what you'll need:
o Mild soap solution (dish soap works well)
o Lukewarm water
o Soft cloths (microfiber cloths are ideal)

2. Cleaning Process Mix the soap solution with lukewarm water. Dip a soft cloth into the solution, wring it out to avoid excess moisture, and gently wipe down the corrugated sheet. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue. Dry the sheet with another soft, lint-free cloth to avoid streaks

3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Polycarbonate is susceptible to damage from harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and solvents. These can cause the surface to become dull or even crack. Stick to the mild soap solution for routine cleaning.

4. Tough Stains: For stubborn stains, use a diluted solution of white vinegar and water. Apply with a soft cloth, gently scrub the stain, and rinse thoroughly with clean water.

5. Scratch Prevention: To prevent scratches, avoid using abrasive materials or dragging objects across the surface. Handle the sheets with care during installation and maintenance.

6. Additional Tips:
o Use polycarbonate-specific tapes for temporary fixes or masking during maintenance to protect the sheets from scratches.
o Regular cleaning helps maintain the sheet's clarity and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance

By following these guidelines, you can keep your polycarbonate corrugated sheets in excellent condition and ensure their longevity and functionality.
