Clear Sheets

Box profile polycarbonate for roofs, solid polycarbonate for everything else

Two kinds of polycarbonate

Choose the right clear sheets option

Clear sheets bring natural light into factories, homes, greenhouses and canopies. Muwi supplies two kinds of polycarbonate. Box profile polycarbonate is shaped to the same IT5 wave as the ACT950 roof, so it installs in the same run as the roof sheets with no special flashing and lets through up to 86% of daylight. Solid polycarbonate is a flat, crystal-clear panel, comparable to glass, supplied in rolls and cut to any shape for greenhouses, awnings, sunrooms, partitions and cladding.
