Why Choose Multi-wall Polycarbonate Locking System?
- High Impact Resistance: Multi-wall polycarbonate locking systems provide outstanding impact resistance, offering approximately 250 to 300 times the strength of glass and 30 times that of acrylic sheets. This makes them an ideal solution for structures that require durability and resilience against the elements.
- Exceptional Insulation: The unique design of multi-wall polycarbonate sheets features air gaps that contribute to superior heat and sound insulation, making them energy-efficient and suitable for a wide variety of applications.
- Leak-Free Protection: The seamless, interlocking U-shaped design of the multi-wall polycarbonate locking system offers exceptional water resistance, preventing leaks and reducing maintenance requirements in the long run.
- Lightweight and Easy to Install: Multi-wall polycarbonate sheets are not only lighter than most traditional building materials, but they also feature a straightforward locking system, making them easy to handle, transport, and install.
- Design Flexibility: The multi-wall polycarbonate locking system allows architects and designers the freedom to create stunning architectural designs that incorporate natural light, thermal insulation, and structural strength.
- UV Protection and Weather Resistance: Multi-wall polycarbonate sheets come with built-in UV protection, shielding the interiors from harmful ultraviolet rays while maintaining the product's color and clarity over time. They also demonstrate excellent resistance to extreme weather conditions, making them suitable for outdoor applications.
How the Multi-wall Polycarbonate Locking System Works:
The ExcelitePlas Multi-wall Polycarbonate Locking System comprises multi-wall polycarbonate panels with click-fit edges and a versatile set of leak-proof fastening accessories. The interlocking system incorporates several components that ensure a sturdy and watertight finish.
- Multi-wall Polycarbonate Panels: These panels feature an interlocking design, available in a range of thicknesses. The panels join together with polycarbonate or aluminum joiners.
- Joiners: Polycarbonate or aluminum joiners provide a seamless connection between panels and can be used to increase the spanning distances to suit the structure.
- T-Fasteners: These fasteners secure the entire system to the structure, clamping the panels in place without any point fastener penetration through the panels.
- End Caps or F-Sections: These components can be used to seal the upper and lower ends of the panels, ensuring a watertight connection.
- F-Sections or Barge Clips: These elements finish off the side edges of the installation, creating a fully framed and sealed solution.
With its sleek appearance and ease of installation, the ExcelitePlas Multi-wall Polycarbonate Locking System is ideal for DIY roofing projects and professional applications alike. By using the appropriate components, the system can accommodate a wide range of structural elements such as thermally insulated curtain walls, arched leak-proof canopy roof systems, designed skylights, and more.
Technical Data:

General
Polycarbonate is extremely strong and nearly unbreakable, making it suitable for applications like police shields, awnings, sunroom roofing, and greenhouses. These panels are resistant to various weather conditions and maintain their appearance for many years.
Polycarbonate sheets can be easily cut using a circular saw or a jigsaw. Circular saws are best for cutting larger lengths, while jigsaws require careful handling to ensure proper cuts.
Although polycarbonate sheets may change colour over time due to sun exposure, Excelite's UV-coated polycarbonate sheets maintain their colour longer.
Polycarbonate sheets require minimal maintenance. Gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth is typically sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners, brushes, or pressure washing, as these may damage the UV-resistant coating or scratch the sheets
Roofing
The best sheeting for a roof depends on the specific requirements, with multi-wall, solid, and corrugated polycarbonate sheets each offering unique benefits.
Although polycarbonate sheets are tough and durable, they should not be walked on. They can withstand many impacts, but might dent or scratch under the weight of a person. Additionally, their surfaces are slippery due to the UV-resistant film, posing a risk of slipping and injury.
Corrugated and twin wall polycarbonate sheets are typically the least expensive varieties. Despite the lower price, these sheets can endure Australia's harsh weather conditions, but selecting the wrong type may lead to more expenses in the long term.
Pergolas & Greenhouses
Excelite's popular glass-look polycarbonate flat roofing is an excellent choice for a pergola roof. It is easy to install, low-maintenance, and watertight, making it a great alternative to glass.
or a pergola enclosure with a glass-like appearance, use a 4-6mm thick solid polycarbonate sheet. Alternatively, use twin-wall polycarbonate panels for a more affordable, yet less transparent option.
Twin wall polycarbonate is ideal for greenhouse construction due to its insulating properties and minimal framing requirements. Excelite Softlite polycarbonate sheets are another excellent option for greenhouse materials, especially for tunnel greenhouses.
