Frosted Polycarbonate sheet

Frosted polycarbonate sheet is one kind of Non Glare Polycarbonate Sheets. When you need both privacy and light transmission, frosted polycarbonate sheets (also known as matte polycarbonate) or frosted Acrylic sheet, are the perfect choice. Frosted polycarbonate sheets work by diffusing light, providing soft illumination and ambiance without sacrificing visibility.This is perfect for privacy screens, decorative elements, signage, fixtures, privacy windows, and doors. 

These sheets work by creating a matte pattern on the surface, which conceals objects behind it while still allowing pleasant, diffused light to pass through. Choose from a variety of sizes and thicknesses to fit your project needs.

Frosted polycarbonate sheet is about 10 times stronger than frosted Acrylic sheet. And it's UV treated, suitable for outdoor environment. 

Excelite Frosted Polycarbonate Sheeting also refer to:

• Matte Polycarbonate Sheet
• Opaque Polycarbonate Sheet
• Translucent Polycarbonate Sheet
• UV Resistant polycarbonate Sheet
• Textured polycarbonate panel
• Frosted perspex sheet

Applications:

• Anti-glare traffic lights
• Portable traffic lights
• Portable Amber VMS
• Variable Speed Limit Sign (VSLS)
• Security and glazing
• Office applications: partitions
• Kitchen door inserts and wardrobe panels

Features and Benefits

Frosted polycarbonate sheets offer a range of unique features specifically tailored for their light-diffusing and privacy-enhancing properties:

• Light Diffusion: Frosted polycarbonate sheets diffuse light effectively, creating a soft, even glow without undesirable glare. This versatility is perfect for ambiance and mood lighting in both indoor and outdoor settings.
• Privacy and Aesthetics: Frosted sheets provide complete privacy by obscuring the view without sacrificing natural light. This makes them a perfect fit for applications requiring a balance of discretion and light transmission, while adding a touch of elegance to any space.
• Temperature and Solar Control: The light-diffusing properties of frosted sheets contribute to a cooler, more comfortable space by reducing solar heat gain without blocking natural light.
• Wider Range of Applications: Frosted polycarbonate sheets are suitable for diverse applications such as carport roofs, picture frames, and shopping mall displays. These additional uses provide more ideas for customers seeking innovative ways to incorporate frosted polycarbonate into their projects.
• Light Transmittance, Insulation, and UV Protection: Frosted polycarbonate sheets offer excellent light transmission while maintaining privacy. They also provide insulation benefits and UV protection to prevent discoloration and degradation caused by harmful ultraviolet rays.

Frosted Polycarbonate Vs Frosted Glass

When it comes to choosing a material, frosted polycarbonate presents many unique advantages to frosted glass. It’s a lighter weight material which is significantly easier to work with.

One of the most significant benefits of frosted polycarbonate is its weight. Weighing only half as much as frosted glass, these plastic sheets are much easier to handle, transport, and install without compromising strength or durability. This makes them easier to work with for DIY projects and normally much cheaper both in terms of material cost, and labour. 

Another important factor to consider is light transmission. While both materials provide excellent light transmission with a soft, diffused glow, frosted polycarbonate allows for a more even distribution of light. This results in a pleasant ambiance with consistent illumination throughout the space.

In terms of workability, frosted polycarbonate is more versatile and flexible than frosted glass. It is easier to cut, shape, and form, allowing for greater customisation and adaptation to various design requirements. It’s not only easier to work with plastic, it's also much easier to be curved and machined into complex shapes, opening up a wider array of design possibilities.

Additionally, frosted polycarbonate is more resistant to impact and less prone to shattering or cracking compared to frosted glass. This makes it a safer and more durable choice for high-traffic areas or locations where potential breakage is a concern.
