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

LEXAN ThermoClear Twin wall Polycarbonate Triple Wall is available.

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. The specially treated weather side is identified on the masking. This side must always face the exterior.
  5. 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.
