Pros of polycarbonate canopy

unbreakable when it comes to its strength. In regard to
strong and unbreakable Polycarbonate polymer, leading
security companies prefer using it in the preparation of
bulletproof windows and police shields. In addition,
offices, banks, and fences also use this kind of windows due
to its strength. Professionals who manufacture bulletproof
cars use some few layers of Polycarbonate material so as to
provide the needed strength of glass.
2. Light in weight
A Polycarbonate material is light in terms of weight
compared to acrylic, glass, or plastic materials. This is
advantageous because it makes it more portable meaning it is
easier to transport from one destination to another compared
to other materials. In addition, it is easy to install thus
reducing the labor cost and the trouble incurred in
installation.
3. Blocks the ultraviolet rays
A Polycarbonate glass can be used in all places regardless
of the intensity of sunlight without any fear of ultraviolet
rays from the sun. A transparent screen made of
Polycarbonate material is not only strong but also it does
not block the natural light when preventing the ultraviolet
rays. It is fundamental to have this glass because you will

ultraviolet rays.
4. Resistant to temperature

conditions because they are highly resistant to cold and
heat. Individuals should not shy from using these materials

mountain or a desert with no doubt.
Cons of a Polycarbonate canopy
1. These materials are expensive
This can be termed as one of the major disadvantage facing a
Polycarbonate canopy. The cost of a Polycarbonate material
is extremely high compared to plastic, glass, or other
similar materials. In addition, a large number of
individuals compare the high cost of a Polycarbonate
material with Acrylonitrile Butadiene-styrene or ABS which
are also very tough in nature but they're of low cost. High
cost acts as a major disadvantage of Polycarbonate material
which limits individuals on using it.

It has been previously stated that they Polycarbonate
materials are strong and unbreakable but if an individual
does not take good care they can get scratches and abrasive
problems. In addition, lack of good care, especially on the
surface can lead to denting and breakages. It should also be
noted that a Polycarbonate material is very sensitive when
it comes to solvents and cleaners. An individual should
choose cleaning subject wisely because these cleaners and
solvents can cause some damages when used in cleaning a
Polycarbonate material.
3. Environmentally unfriendly
A Polycarbonate product requires extremely high temperature
and chemical substances to create thus making it harmful for
human and the environment. It is therefore advisable that
individuals should take precaution while creating
Polycarbonate material to avoid health problems. It should,
therefore, be noted that due to lack of environmental
friendliness of a Polycarbonate material acts as a major
disadvantage.
A Polycarbonate canopy is resistant to signs of aging which
include yellowing and discoloration allowing it to look
brand new for a long duration of time. Installation of
Polycarbonate canopy is simple, but as with other materials,
it's essential to select the right material for the perfect
application. This allows you to understand the selected
material and how to install it safely. If you're a singapore
resident, you should weigh between the advantage and
disadvantages to determine whether to have polycarbonate
panels or not.
I was searching around
for a company tp supply and install awnings and
canopy for my restaurant. I wanted a company
which can print my company's logo on the
retractable awning. They came down, took some
measurement and send me a quotation via email. I
am very impressed with their price and
workmanship. Highly recommended company.
