16mm Clear Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheet
Our 16mm polycarbonate roof panels have a high light transmission, block virtually all UV radiation, are easy to handle and have a high-performance fire rating. This material can be used for a vast array of applications, but is most commonly used in Carport Roofing, Pergolas and Conservatories.

UV1 Protection: UV resistant on one side, effectively blocking harmful UV radiation and preventing yellowing.

Sheet ends can be pre-taped with aluminium and anti-dust tape. The aluminium tape is placed at the top of the sheet and the anti-dust at the bottom of the sheet.

Information
Our 16mm polycarbonate roof panels have a Class 1 Fire Rating BS476/7.
Twinwall and Multiwall polycarbonate sheets are UV-protected, but only on one side! Look for the protective film with writing on it — this is the UV-protected side and should face the sun. The other side has no UV coating and should face away.
Pre-taping Service: Sheets come with aluminum and anti-dust tape applied to the ends of the sheet to prevent dirt and debris from entering the flutes. If you don't want taping, please specify at purchase. During preparation, a 10mm strip of protective film is removed, leaving a visible score line; this is standard practice and does not impact quality.
The open ends of the sheets need to be sealed with sheet closures.
We cannot guarantee where the blade lands when cutting the sheets, so it is not possible to ensure hard edges on all panels.
Please store and lay this material flat in a cool, dry place prior to installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Strong is 16mm Polycarbonate?
16mm polycarbonate roof sheets are very strong—typically at least 200 times stronger than glass and other plastic alternatives such as acrylic. Some consider it to be virtually unbreakable.
What’s the Best Thickness for Polycarbonate Roofing?
Roofing projects typically require thicker polycarbonate for durability, although it depends on the intended use. For example, 16mm polycarbonate roofing is ideal for projects such as carports or pergolas, but using polycarbonate roofing on more permanent structures would require a thicker sheet, such as 25-35mm.
