Polycarbonate Sheeting Installation Guidelines
Remember to add our "winged" screws and BAZ washers to your polycarbonate sheeting order.
​
​
Wings on the screw drill holes bigger than the fastener so no pre-drilling is required making your job so much easier!
BAZ washers seal perfectly thus avoiding any potential leaks.
Drill hole in sheet 3 mm BIGGER than fastener, prior to fixing OR use a winged selfdrill screw for fastening (ask our sales department to add this to your quote)
​
Beware of oblique fastening and/or over tightening
​
Apply sheets with UV coating facing upwards
​
Peel off any labels immediately after installation
​
Correct class rating fasteners must be adhered to in harsh environments to ensure long lasting roofs
​
Overlap with minimum of one profile
​
Sheets may be cut with shears, an angle grinder or even a fine toothed saw blade will do
​
For roof laying start with lower sheets first, keep side laps away from wind
​
Allow overhang of <100mm
​
Never walk on sheets, use a board placed across at least 3 rafters to spread the load
Polycarbonate Sheeting Handling & Storage
Store sheets on flat surface in well protected dry area
​
Direct sunlight could cause distortion
​
Remove traces of lubricant from metal sheets prior to assembly
​
Avoid contact with chemicals, paints, solvents and sealants (especially silicone) as many of these are incompatible with Polycarbonate - test surface area first
​
Clean with warm water (mild detergent) and a soft sponge
​
Scrub down with a soft brush
​
Hose down thoroughly
