Engineered, Architectural Grade Polycarbonate is a transparent thermoplastic. As a thermoplastic, it has an inherent ability to resist extreme temperatures, while also being significantly lighter & stronger than its closest alternative, glass.
Its strength, light weight, and durability make it a popular alternative to glass for a number of reasons, particularly in electronic devices & construction.
There are a number of reasons why Danpal polycarbonate cladding, roofing, & panelling are better solutions for construction.
Cheaper To Manufacture
Producing Engineered, Architectural Grade Polycarbonate panelling is cheaper than producing glass, so along with the improved energy efficiency, it is generally cheaper to purchase in large quantities than glass as well.
Easier to Customise
As Engineered, Architectural Grade Polycarbonate is the result of a mixture of chemicals injected into a mould, it is easier to manipulate into a wide range of shapes and sizes.
Additionally, as Engineered, Architectural Grade Polycarbonate is the result of a mix of chemicals, dyes & additives can be introduced during the manufacturing process to produce a huge range of colours, and the overall opacity of the polycarbonate sheet can be modified. Certain chemicals can also be included in the base mix to improve particular qualities such as fire resistance or increased UV protection.
Overall, Engineered, Architectural Grade Polycarbonate can be highly customised in terms of design & qualities, extending its overall suitability for a wide range of uses far beyond those of glass.
Longer Lifespan
In hot climates such as those found in Australia, glass can see a reduced lifespan due to regular heating and cooling. While this doesn’t impact smaller properties such as houses as much, on larger buildings with huge quantities of windows to maintain, this can minimize the cost of replacing damaged or degraded windows.
