When to Consider Polycarbonate Roofing

Firstly, it’s important to know when polycarbonate roofing is a great choice for your home. Polycarbonate roofing can be used in a number of different applications, including:

• Carports
• Conservatories
• Decks
• Patios
• Sheds
• And more!

What are the Different Polycarbonate Sheets?

There are also different types of polycarbonate sheets that you can choose from. Here at Varico, we offer the following types:

• Easy Fit Clickloc – Requires no glazing bars, with a Clickloc panel system that simply clicks together, making the installation process a breeze.
• Multiwall – Lightweight but strong, ideal for higher end canopies, pergolas, and conservatories.
• Triplewall – Offers excellent strength for larger projects, such as lean to roofs.
• Twinwall – Most popular polycarbonate roofing sheet that’s lightweight and versatile.

These are available in various colours, sizes, and thicknesses. At Varico, all of our polycarbonate sheets are easy to work with and install, guaranteeing an efficient installation process.

What Would You Need?

For your polycarbonate roofing installation, you will need the right tools, equipment, and materials to ensure that the installation goes smoothly. This includes the following:

• Cut to size polycarbonate roofing sheets
• Fasteners e.g screws and others
• Glazing bars
• Sealant e.g polycarbonate end closure

Installation Tips and Tricks

Once you have gathered all of the essential equipment, materials, and tools for your polycarbonate roofing installation, you can then begin! Here are our top tips and tricks for installing polycarbonate roofing sheets with ease:

1. Ensure the sheet is firmly secured before moving onto the next sheet.
2. Use a suitable sealant to seal the ends of the polycarbonate sheets – we recommend using a polycarbonate end closure that provides a weather-proof seal to the bottom end of the sheets, preventing water ingress.
3. Have a family member or friend assist with the installation process if you are unfamiliar with installing polycarbonate sheets.

Safety Measures

Aside from ensuring that your polycarbonate roofing has been installed correctly, it’s also crucial that you prioritise your safety. Implementing safety measures like the following can prevent accidents and injuries:

• Avoid walking on polycarbonate panels
• Do not leave polycarbonate sheets unattended on top of structures until they have been secured
• Use ladders and other equipment appropriately
• Wear personal protection equipment such as gloves, safety glasses, etc. when necessary
