Polycarbonate Todays Premium Choice Of
Building Materials
Constructing any kind of building means
durability and strength strong enough to
withstand all kinds of environmental impacts and
weather, and durable to stand tall for long years
to come. Now, speaking of transparent
structures, which material do you think will be
the best for building them glass? Well, no!
While glass has been the traditional material to
build all kinds of transparent structures in the
past many decades, it isnt the best
choice! Obviously, glass is the most transparent
material you can get your hands on, but is that
reason enough for you to build a transparent
structure? There are so many other elements that
need to be considered while constructing a
building. Earlier, glass was so popularly used
because there was no other option for builders
and architects to use. But today, with so many
advancements in technologies and so many
innovations, engineers have come up with a very
innovative transparent material polycarbonate
roofing sheets that can, and has been replacing
glass for quite some time now.
Discovered in the 1950s, this amazing material
has been changing the face of the construction
industry ever since. Polycarbonate has evolved,
finding its way not only into the construction
industry, but also in developing a number of
products that touch our lives every day, like
eyewear, car components, CDs, bulletproof
windows, and much more. This has been possible

• polycarbonate is an extremely durable material
  that has 200 times the impact resistance of
  glass! However, because it is 200 times
  stronger, doesnt mean that it is a very heavy
  material. On the contrary, its weight is almost
  half the weight of glass! So, now you can
  imagine, a lighter yet stronger material why
  wouldnt it gain popularity?
• It is not just the weight and strength that has
  led polycarbonate to achieve such fame. There are
  many other reasons that have resulted in various
  industries to be attracted towards this material.
  Here is a brief.
• Polycarbonate may it be solid sheeting, or
  multiwall polycarbonate with layers provides
  incredible insulation to the structure it is used
  to build. Using just the amount of energy
  required to keep the inside comfortable and free
  from moisture, polycarbonate roofing sheets
  dont let energy go waste, thus representing
  financial savings.
• Polycarbonate is easy and cheaper to install.
  Because it is light in weight, it can be easily
  carried and transported without the need of
  additional machineries. Also, it can be easily
  cut with the help of sharp-toothed scissors or
  circular saws thus no additional tools
  required. In addition, polycarbonate does not
  break, crack, or produce any harmful shards
  while being cut or drilled thus posing no threat
  to humans. In all ways, polycarbonate roofing
  sheets are easy to work with, cheaper to install,
  and safe.
• Polycarbonates are highly flexible, unlike glass,
  which means you can mould it into any shape you
  want. Glass would only construct buildings with
  square, rectangular, and triangular frames. But,
  with polycarbonate, you can construct a variety
  of shapes like domes, waves, and other
  complicated designs. Moreover, polycarbonates are
  available in a variety of colours and textures.
  Thus, you can either choose a roof to blend with
  the colour of your entire structure or create a
  visual attraction with a contrasting roof the
  choice is yours. In any way, with varieties in
  shapes, colours, and textures, polycarbonate
  roofing sheets give architects and designers way
  more options to show their creativity.

  roofing sheets at Tuflite Polymers for your next
  project, no matter what it may be. Whatever kind
  of quality, design, texture, and colour you are
  looking for, this is the place you need to go.
