Roofing sheets made from polycarbonate materials are available in a variety of designs including the twin-wall construction. This type of construction also adds insulating advantages.

Choose from a wide range of options

Some of the alternative applications include sheds, greenhouses, lean-to-roof systems, car washes and dog kennels. The polycarbonate roofing sheets are lightweight and easy to use.
