Polycarbonate Corrugated Embossed Roofing Sheets

Excelite Polycarbonate corrugated and embossed sheets bring together the strength of polycarbonate corrugated structure with an embossed texture. These sheets are both thin and robust, with the corrugated structure enhancing the rigidity, the embossed texture diffuse the sun ray. 

This polycarbonate roofing sheets can be beneficial for plants in certain situations. Embossed design are designed to scatter and distribute light more evenly, preventing direct and intense light beams. When use as greenhouse panels this diffusion of light can be advantageous for plants in several ways:

1. Uniform Light Distribution: Light reaches all parts of the plant evenly, including lower leaves and areas that might be shaded in direct light. This can contribute to more consistent growth and development.

2. Reduced Hotspots: By scattering light, polycarbonate corrugated and embossed sheets help to minimise hotspots or areas with excessive light intensity. This prevents overheating and potential damage to plant tissues.

3. Improved Light Penetration: Diffused light can penetrate deeper into the plant canopy, reaching lower leaves and branches. This is particularly beneficial in dense or layered plantings.
   

4. Less Stress on Plants: Diffused light is generally gentler on plants, reducing stress and the risk of sunburn. This can be especially important for sensitive plant species.

Choosing The Right Roofing Sheet

Polycarbonate roofing sheets are available in various types, each offering distinct benefits and characteristics. Understanding the differences between these sheets can help you choose the most suitable option for your roofing project. In this section, we compare clear polycarbonate roofing sheets with other popular types such as tinted, frosted, and multiwall polycarbonate sheets.

• Clear Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets: Clear polycarbonate roofing sheets offer high light transmission, UV protection, and excellent impact resistance. These sheets are ideal for applications where maximum transparency and natural light are essential, such as greenhouses, sunrooms, and patios.
• Tinted Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets: Tinted polycarbonate roofing sheets provide a similar level of impact resistance and UV protection as clear sheets while adding the benefit of reduced glare and heat transmission. The tinted sheets offer solar control by reducing the amount of sunlight and heat that passes through, making them ideal for roofing areas where some shading or privacy is desired without sacrificing durability.
• Frosted Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets: Frosted polycarbonate sheets offer a unique combination of strength, impact resistance, and light diffusion. Their textured surface diffuses light, creating a soft, even glow without glare. The frosted finish also provides a level of privacy while still allowing natural light to pass through. These sheets are suitable for applications that require a balance of privacy, light transmission, and durability, such as decorative partitions, skylights, and roofing solutions where a subtle, diffused light effect is desired.

Multiwall Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets: Multiwall polycarbonate sheets consist of multiple layers, providing exceptional thermal insulation and enhanced rigidity. These sheets maintain high impact resistance and UV protection while offering improved energy efficiency due to their insulating properties. They also contribute to noise reduction, making them suitable for roofing solutions in areas where noise control is a concern.
