Polycarbonate is a polymer developed for high performance in areas like military aircraft canopies and power tools housings and also compact discs. GE Lexan polycarbonate is an example of such polycarbonate. Polycarbonate storm panels are clear plastic products that work in combination with aluminum storm panels. They permit clear visibility. GE Lexan XL-10 sheet is approved for outdoor use. Lexan is guaranteed not to turn yellow or crack for a period of ten years. Lexan polycarbonate storm panels are tested and made according to the Dade County 1994 Edition of the SFBC for large missile impact and withstands wind pressure up to 150 mph. The visors and pressure helmets used by astronauts on their journey to the moon were made with Lexan polycarbonate storm panel. Similarly, the tail lamps and indicator lenses used in sports cars I Europe are made from Lexan to give toughness and durability to the lightweight material.





The polycarbonate storm panels do not shatter, rust or corrode. They are very light when compared to steel. They are also dent-resistant unlike the aluminum panels. They do not have sharp edges. They are very transparent and allowing light inside and visibility outside. The high performance polycarbonate storm panels are meant for both domestic and commercial markets. They can be used in a number of various glazing systems. Polycarbonate storm panels can be used both internally and externally. The polycarbonate storm panels are tough and stable in low or high temperatures. They have very good impact resistance fire rating and they are fairly easy to work with and carry ten-year guarantee. Polycarbonate storm panels are free from maintenance. They come in various thicknesses for different applications to suit various budgets. Polycarbonate storm panel sheets are available in lengths varying from 2 meters to 7 meters and in width ranging from 700 mm to 2.1 meters. The sheets also come with multiple walls. Twin wall and triple wall models are the most popular. The double-glazed glass and triple wall sheets result in pleasant climate. Polycarbonate storm panels are also easy to manipulate and fix. They can be cut with a simple handsaw. The panels are very light and they require no heavy lifting. After installation, they require little maintenance. They can be washed with warm mild soap water.



Polycarbonate storm panel is the right alternative for greenhouse application and other construction applications. This material brings many benefits with is unique features. The polycarbonate storm panel is one of the heaviest sheets in its class in the industry and is made in America using polycarbonate extrusion technology. The surface of these sheets is protected from degradation by a patented extrusion process. The resins used in making the polycarbonate storm panels are developed specially from flame retardant properties. The polycarbonate storm panels reduce heat loss by 50 % when used instead of glass. Even when glazing, saving to the extent of 50% has been documented. They are tough and also save money.
