Excelite's corrugated and embossed polycarbonate sheets are a flexible roofing solution ideal for patios, pergolas, awnings, carports, greenhouses, and gazebos. With a thicker 1.2mm profile, they offer greater durability and impact resistance compared to standard 0.8mm corrugated polycarbonate sheets like Laserlite.
Designed to bend lengthwise, these sheets are perfect for curved and arched roofing applications. Installation is quick and simple — just overlap the edges and secure with screws for a clean, watertight finish. No joiners required.
Why Embossed Polycarbonate is Ideal for Greenhouses
The embossed surface scatters and distributes light more evenly than standard corrugated sheets, making it particularly well-suited for greenhouse panels:
- Uniform Light Distribution: Light reaches all parts of the plant evenly, including lower leaves and shaded areas, contributing to more consistent growth.
- Reduced Hotspots: Scattered light minimises areas of excessive intensity, preventing overheating and potential damage to plant tissues.
- Improved Light Penetration: Diffused light penetrates deeper into the plant canopy, benefiting dense or layered plantings.
- Less Stress on Plants: Gentler diffused light reduces stress and the risk of sunburn, especially important for sensitive species.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between corrugated and embossed polycarbonate sheets?
Both share the same corrugated wave profile, but the embossed surface adds a textured finish that scatters light more evenly. This makes embossed sheets particularly well-suited for greenhouse panels where diffused light promotes healthier plant growth and reduces hotspots.
2. Can these sheets be bent or curved?
Yes. These 1.2mm corrugated polycarbonate sheets are flexible and can be cold-bent lengthwise, making them ideal for curved or arched roofing applications such as gazebos, pergolas, and tunnel greenhouses. Learn more about bending polycarbonate sheets.
3. How thick are these sheets compared to standard corrugated polycarbonate?
These sheets are 1.2mm thick — 50% thicker than standard 0.8mm corrugated polycarbonate sheets such as Laserlite. This provides greater durability, impact resistance, and longevity.
4. What colours are available?
These sheets are available in Clear, Bronze, and Green. Clear allows maximum light transmission (68%), while Bronze and Green provide shade and reduce glare — ideal for outdoor entertaining areas.
5. Do I need special accessories or joiners to install these sheets?
No. Simply overlap the waves by one corrugation and secure with screws. This makes installation faster and more cost-effective than twin wall or solid sheet systems that require joiners.
6. Can I buy these sheets by the metre rather than a full roll?
Yes. We sell these sheets per metre (use quantity to select your length) or as a full 50m roll. This means no wastage — you only pay for what you need.
7. Are these sheets UV resistant?
Yes. All Excelite corrugated and embossed polycarbonate sheets are UV rated, protecting them from yellowing and degradation caused by sun exposure. Learn more about polycarbonate material properties.
8. Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes. These sheets come in rolls, making them easy to transport and ship Australia-wide. Same-day delivery is available within Melbourne Metro for orders placed before 12:00pm. Pick-up is also available from our Dandenong South Warehouse. Contact us for a freight quote to your location.
