Why Choose Polycarbonate?Polycarbonate is often preferred over glass or metal for specific outdoor applications because it balances light transmission with durability.Impact Resistance: It is roughly 250 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic. It can easily withstand hail, falling branches, and accidental impacts.UV Protection: Most panels are treated with a UV-resistant coating that blocks 99% of harmful rays while still letting in up to 90% of natural light.Weight: Being lightweight, it requires less heavy-duty structural support than glass, making it easier and cheaper to install.Temperature Tolerance: It remains stable in extreme heat and cold, typically withstanding temperatures from $-40^circtext{C}$ to $120^circtext{C}$ without warping.
