How thick should the polycarbonate board be for the sun room roof?

2024-11-10

Sunrooms are favored by more and more people because of their outstanding lighting and wide views. But there are many ways to make a sunroom. Taking the roof of a sunroom as an example, there is the very common glass roof, then there is the color steel insulation board roof and many other composite board roofs. But we will find that in the case of a sunroom roof, many users do not recommend installing a glass roof. So why does this happen? Since glass roofs are easy to leak and burst, it is now recommended to use a new type of board, namely PC endurance board. So how thick is the PC endurance board for the sunroom roof?

Endurance board is also called polycarbonate board,  with a thickness of 0.1mm-26mm. The prices of endurance boards of different thicknesses vary greatly. Generally, the thicker the endurance board, the more expensive it is. Although compared with tempered glass, it is not as thick as tempered glass. However, the impact resistance is more than twice that of tempered glass. Many people think that the thicker the sunroom board, the better. The thicker the board, the more money is spent. But they don’t know that there is a big difference between the two materials. Polycarbonate board, also known as "non-breakable glass", is extracted and forged from petroleum. It has been tested through multiple processes before coming into use. In addition to high strength, it also has good heat insulation and noise reduction effects. It is Glass materials cannot be replaced. So how thick should you choose? First of all, we must consider the frame load-bearing, financial budget and other factors. The weight of each square meter of 1mm endurance board is 1.2kg, and the thickness is directly proportional to the weight. Taking these factors into consideration can we choose the thickness more reasonably to prevent unnecessary of waste. Nilin recommends that everyone use 3-12mm thickness for the sunroom roof. Choose PC endurance board with UV coating, which can block ultraviolet rays, resist aging, etc., and extend the service life of the sunroom! Regular size 1.22*2.44 meters, colors include transparent, brown, white, green, blue, brown, gray, etc. Other sizes/colors/thickness can be customized as needed!
