Use of polycarbonate

The interior polycarbonates widely used to produce lightweight walls or partitions must be in the bathrooms. Likewise, it can be used outdoors should be around a solar shower. It is ideal for roofing pergolas, parking for cars, entrance canopies, but is also suitable for the construction of a greenhouse.
 

Working with polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is a material which is quite easily broken, ideally using a circular saw, which leaves třepivé edges. To the polycarbonate can also drill bits for metal. However, we must always keep the treated plate straight and resting firmly to prevent vibration material. Such drilled holes should be at least 5 cm from the edge of the plate. It is also suitable for fixing the plate using nails.
 
 

The protective film on the surface of the plate

Sheets of polycarbonate are provided with a protective film, which protects the plate from mechanical damage and UV. Leave the foil on the board until the completion of construction work. Polycarbonate is sensitive not only to the various sealants and adhesives, but also on the impregnating substances or solvents.
 

Polycarbonate chambers

When cut slabs the small open chambers which must be closed, so as to safeguard against dust and moisture. The closure of these chambers is done by a special aluminum foil intended for this purpose. This foil is provided with a self-adhesive surface which does not interfere with the plate and safely prevent the ingress of any material inside the panels. The treated surface then may be attached to the profiles of the structure.
 

Attaching polycarbonate construction

Before laying polycarbonate construction must be, in the case of material from wood, has comprehensively treated with a protective coating. The contacting surface structure with a polycarbonate sheet is to be glued self-adhesive sealing tape. Polycarbonate reacts to temperature changes, the sealing strip prevents unwanted sounds polycarbonate in temperature changes.
 

Tip:

Although polycarbonate is virtually maintenance-free, it is good at least once a year soapy water without other chemical products. Remember that despite the resistance of polycarbonate material is not walkable, so walked upon.
