Polycarbonate Sheets by Structure and Application
Polycarbonate sheets should be selected first by physical structure. Solid or embossed PC is a full sheet with an optional textured surface; corrugated PC uses a repeated roof profile; hollow or multiwall PC contains internal chambers. AULEN reviews material, structure, dimensions, application, processing, quantity, packing and required documents before confirming a product.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between solid, corrugated and multiwall polycarbonate?
Solid has no chambers; corrugated is profiled; multiwall has internal chambers. These names are not interchangeable.
Can one thickness be recommended for every roofing project?
No. Structure, profile or chamber, support, environment and installation must be evaluated together.
Does a greenhouse application prove UV or thermal performance?
No. Application language is not test evidence; request documents for the exact product.
What should be sent with an RFQ?
Send structure, thickness, size or profile, colour, quantity, drawing or sample, application conditions, required documents, packing and destination.
