Frequently Asked Questions

Can this clear polycarbonate sheet be cut and drilled with standard workshop tools?

Yes, this extruded polycarbonate sheet can be cut and drilled using common workshop tools such as circular saws with fine-toothed blades and standard drill bits, provided correct speeds and support are used to avoid chipping or stress cracking.

Is this polycarbonate sheet suitable for outdoor use?

The sheet offers good mechanical performance outdoors, but for prolonged external exposure where clarity and appearance must be maintained, a grade with specific UV-stabilising protection is generally recommended. Always check suitability against the intended environment and exposure levels.

How do I choose the right thickness of polycarbonate sheet for my application?

Select the thickness based on the required impact resistance, span, and loading conditions. Thicker sheets (such as 12 mm, 16 mm or 20 mm) are typically used for larger spans, higher impact areas or structural applications, while thinner sheets can be suitable for smaller guards, covers and panels with lower load requirements.
