Box Profile Polycarbonate Sheet (IT5, ACT950/850)

Daylight panels that run with your box-profile roof

Muwi polycarbonate transparent tile is a high-performance daylighting material made from imported virgin polycarbonate resin with an anti-UV co-extruded coating. The five-wave sheet has a standard 850 mm effective width and matches the wave of conventional colour steel and Muwi roof panels, so it installs seamlessly with excellent waterproofing. With light transmission up to 86% it delivers bright, natural indoor light and saves electricity. Compared with glass and FRP daylighting tiles it has ultra-high impact resistance, is hail, wind and crack proof, stays stable from -40 °C to 120 °C and resists yellowing and ageing outdoors. Lightweight, flexible and easy to cut and install, it reduces construction cost and roof load, and its flame-retardant, self-cleaning, low-maintenance surface suits factory roofs, warehouse canopies, greenhouses, stadiums and industrial buildings.

  • Anti-UV co-extruded coating: no yellowing
