As we move into the colder months of winter, it is often noticeable that more condensation occurs on windows, and older properties feel colder.

The different types of Polycarbonate Sheet

Where polycarbonate is used as a roof sheet it is nearly always “multiwall” (the only major exception to this is where solid polycarbonate sheets are used for Overdoor canopies). Multiwall sheets are extruded to produce a number of internal walls which create chambers within the sheet. The number of chambers differs depending upon which sheet thickness you are using.

4mm, 6mm and 10mm thick polycarbonate sheets normally have just two walls and are refered to as twinwall

16mm polycarbonate sheets have three walls, creating two chambers and are known as triple wall

25mm Polycarbonate comes in a variety of designs but the most popular has an “X” type structure with 7 internal walls and is simply called multiwall

32mm and 35mm Polycarbonate sheets tend to have 7 horizontal walls and again are known as multiwall sheets
