Polycarbonate Sheet for Sunroom — Multiwall & Solid PC Glazing Solutions
Choosing the right glazing material directly affects how comfortable and durable your sunroom will be. Polycarbonate sheet for sunroom from Baoding Sinhai Sunboard Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is produced with 100% virgin Bayer/Sabic resin and a co-extruded 50µm UV protection layer that blocks 98%–100% of UV radiation below 380nm. Backed by over 30 years of manufacturing experience across 3 production bases and 25+ production lines, Sinhai supplies consistent-quality glazing for both residential and commercial projects.
Why Polycarbonate Outperforms Glass in Sunrooms?
Glass is heavy, fragile, and a poor thermal regulator. Polycarbonate sheet for sunroom address all three limitations through a fundamentally different material structure.
The multiwall design traps air between parallel walls, creating natural insulation that keeps interiors cooler in summer and warmer in winter. U-values range from 1.1 to 3.5 W/m²K depending on thickness — a measurable improvement over single-pane glass. Light transmission sits between 60% and 82% in standard configurations, giving you a bright interior without harsh glare. A frosted finish is also available for projects that require additional privacy.

Key Product Features
Structural Safety
At 850 J/m impact strength, the sheet withstands hail strikes and accidental impact without shattering — 250 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic. This makes it a practical choice for roof and overhead glazing where glass poses a safety risk.
UV Protection Built Into the Surface
The UV layer is co-extruded directly into the sheet surface, not applied as a film. Thickness is verified by spectrophotometry to confirm a minimum of 50µm. Yellowing resistance is evaluated under accelerated weathering (Xenon Arc or QUV), with results used to support the 10–20 year product warranty.
Thermal Comfort Through Correct Installation
The multiwall internal structure reduces heat buildup. When installed with EPDM gaskets and expansion gaps of approximately 3mm per linear meter, the system handles thermal movement without warping or leaking.
Fire Safety
Rated B1 under GB 8624 and UL94 V-2, the material is self-extinguishing and does not produce burning droplets — a meaningful consideration for enclosed living spaces.
Frame Compatibility
Full sheets fit steel, aluminium, and wood structural frames. Node drawings, waterproofing details, screw layout plans, and expansion-gap specifications are provided with every order.
Sunroom Applications
Polycarbonate sheet for sunroom suits a wide range of project types:
- Home sunrooms and conservatories — 16mm or 25mm multiwall for year-round thermal comfort
- Balcony enclosures and terrace garden rooms — lightweight glazing that reduces structural load
- Pool sunrooms — moisture-resistant and impact-safe for wet environments
- Restaurant sunrooms and commercial conservatories — high-clarity finish provides a glass-like appearance with added safety
- Greenhouse rooms — adjustable light transmission to support plant growth
- Extreme-weather enclosures — X-structure or high-load ribbing variants rated for snow loads and wind pressures exceeding 2,000 Pa
Quality Control Process
Every sheet is inspected at three stages: raw material receiving, production, and pre-shipment.
Tests performed at each stage include:
- UV layer thickness — verified by spectrophotometry to confirm minimum 50µm
- Thickness tolerance — measured with ultrasonic gauges, within ±5%
- Impact resistance — validated by Falling Dart Impact Test (ISO 6603) to simulate hail conditions
- Flammability — tested under UL 94 and applicable fire codes
- Yellowing resistance — evaluated under accelerated weathering to support long-term clarity claims
Products carry ISO 9001:2015, CE, RoHS, and SGS certifications.

FAQ
Q: What sheet dimensions are available?
A: Thickness ranges from 4–25mm, maximum width is 2.5m, and length is cut to your project size. Sheets fit steel, aluminium, and wood frames. Full node drawings are provided with every order.
Q: Is installation support included?
A: Yes. Node design, waterproofing details, screw layout drawings, and expansion-gap plans are included at no additional cost. Remote guidance is available, and on-site support can be arranged for bulk orders.
Q: Will the sheet yellow over time?
A: Yellowing is controlled by the co-extruded UV layer. The 50µm coating is verified by spectrophotometry, and yellowing resistance is tested under accelerated weathering conditions. Performance is covered by the 10–20 year product warranty.
Q: How does the sheet handle thermal expansion?
A: Polycarbonate expands more than glass. Correct installation requires EPDM gaskets and oversized fixing holes to allow approximately 3mm of movement per linear meter. Detailed node drawings are supplied with every order.
Q: Is the sheet noisy during heavy rain?
A: Thicker multiwall configurations and rubber decoupling gaskets reduce acoustic vibration. For noise-sensitive projects, 16mm or 25mm multiwall product is the recommended specification.
