However, it is important to take the following precautions when handling polycarbonate sheets:  

• Avoid leaving pallet in the rain or direct sunlight for extended periods
• Use appropriate cutting equipment when cutting the sheets, supporting the sheet
• Always use a stepping ladder or crawling boards to access the sheets for installation and maintenance (don’t assume they can handle your weight)
• Avoid repeated sliding of sheets over each other

Maintenance and Care 

For the best long-term results, it’s crucial that you properly maintain and care for your polycarbonate sheets. Particularly, ensure that you regularly wash small areas with mild, diluted household detergents that don’t contain abrasives or solvents.
