How to Install Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets

Polycarbonate sheeting is one of the most popular forms of roofing in Kenya. Incredibly versatile, it can be seen on a wide variety of structures including conservatories, garages, carports, canopies, lean-tos and even extensions. Polycarbonate is highly favored by homeowners thanks to its low price point, solid durability, and straightforward installation.

However, if this is your first roofing project, it can be a little overwhelming when you consider the many steps involved when installing polycarbonate roofing sheets. As one of the most important elements of any structure, the roof must be installed correctly to provide effective, long-term protection for whatever’s inside.

Choosing Your Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets

We supply a wide variety of polycarbonate sheets from top brands. Polycarbonate roofing comes in a range of thicknesses from 4mm to 35mm, each best suited to different applications. So, it’s vital to choose the right sheet for your project.

Multiwall polycarbonate features a corrugated form factor which makes it incredibly resistant to impact – up to 200x stronger than glass! As a lightweight and easy to install roofing option, it’s one of the most popular among homeowners. Available in bronze and opal finishes, as well as clear which allows maximum light into the structure below.

These sheets don’t offer adequate protection for larger structures. They can also be used as a form of cladding or as a balcony safety barrier.

Otherwise known as either twin wall polycarbonate or triple wall polycarbonate, these sheets offer superb impact resistance and are ideal for projects such as lean-tos, pergolas and carports.

Offering the greatest level of durability and impact resistance, these polycarbonate sheets are perfect for protecting conservatories or orangeries, as well as garages.

Solid polycarbonate sheets are ideal for homeowners that prefer a flat form factor to corrugated sheets. While they lack the added strength afforded by a corrugated profile, these sheets are still incredibly durable and make the perfect shatter-proof solution for balconies, greenhouses, conservatories and more. They also come in a range of more opaque finishes including black for maximum privacy.
