One of the easiest ways of letting light into an existing or new carport or outdoor living area is to fit polycarbonate roofing.

What is polycarbonate roofing?

It’s a thermoplastic material that’s strong, shatterproof and lightweight. In addition, it can withstand hot and cold temperatures, is rust-free and long lasting. In most cases, polycarbonate roofing also features a protective film that filters out harmful UV rays.

As well as letting light in, being relatively inexpensive and easy to use, polycarbonate roofing is extremely adaptable and comes in a range of options:

  • A choice of several different profiles, including the common corrugated profile.
  • You can choose from a wide variety of colours.
  • Some polycarbonate roofing can be curved to suit a stunning curved roof.
  • There are even some polycarbonate materials with insulation, to help keep outdoor structures at a more even temperature.
