Choosing a suitable polycarbonate corrugated roof panel requires consideration of multiple aspects:

Application scenarios

If used for residential balconies, carports, etc., with high requirements for lighting and aesthetics, transparent or light colored boards with high transparency and beautiful colors can be selected, with a thickness of about 1.0-1.5mm to meet the needs.

The roof lighting of industrial plants needs to consider the large span and bearing capacity, and may require the selection of panels with a thickness of 2.0mm or more to ensure safety and durability.

Agricultural greenhouses require boards with good transparency and insulation properties. Transparent or light blue boards with a thickness of about 1.2-1.5mm can be selected.

Board performance

Impact resistance: If the area frequently experiences severe weather conditions such as strong winds and hail, it is necessary to choose panels with strong impact resistance to ensure that the roof panels are not easily damaged in extreme weather conditions.

Weather resistance: Roof panels exposed to outdoor environments for a long time should have good weather resistance and be able to resist the erosion of natural factors such as ultraviolet rays, rainwater, and high temperatures, ensuring that they do not fade or deform during long-term use. You can view the weather resistance level and relevant testing reports of the product for evaluation.

Transparency: Select panels with appropriate transparency according to the requirements for indoor lighting. For example, places that require sufficient natural light, such as greenhouses, sunrooms, etc., should choose transparent panels with a light transmittance of over 80%; For places that do not require high lighting or require a certain level of privacy, frosted or colored boards with slightly lower light transmittance can be chosen.

Fire resistance: In some places with high fire resistance requirements, such as factories, warehouses, etc., polycarbonate corrugated roof panels with good fire resistance should be selected, such as products that meet flame retardant B1 level.

Specification and size

Thickness: Common thicknesses include 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, etc. Generally speaking, thinner sheets can be chosen for areas with small spans and low load-bearing requirements; If the span is large or there are special load-bearing requirements, thicker plates need to be selected.

Length and width: The appropriate length and width should be selected based on the actual size of the installed roof, minimizing splicing to improve waterproofing performance and aesthetics. If there are special shape or size requirements for the roof, customized panels can also be considered.
