FAQ

Is polycarbonate rainscreen cladding suitable for all types of buildings?

Polycarbonate rainscreen cladding is a versatile building material, but its suitability can depend on several factors:

1. Building Type: Polycarbonate cladding is often suitable for commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. However, for structures with specific historical or aesthetic requirements, other materials might be more appropriate.

2. Climate Considerations: Polycarbonate is typically weather-resistant, but in extremely hot or cold climates, special grades or treatments may be necessary to ensure performance and durability.

3. Fire Regulations: Some building codes have strict fire safety regulations. While polycarbonate has fire-retardant options, it’s essential to ensure that they meet local fire safety standards for the specific building type.

4. Structural Requirements: The weight and wind load capabilities of polycarbonate must be considered, especially for high-rise buildings or structures in high-wind areas.

5. Design Intent: If the goal is to maximize natural light while maintaining energy efficiency, polycarbonate can be a great choice.

6. Maintenance: Polycarbonate may require specific maintenance to avoid yellowing or degradation over time, which might influence its suitability depending on the building’s maintenance strategy.

What colors and finishes are available for polycarbonate cladding?

Polycarbonate cladding is available in a variety of colors and finishes, allowing for flexibility in design and aesthetics. For example like Clear, Transparent, Frosted, Tinted, Opaque Colors and Custom Colors.

Finishes like Smooth Finish, Textured Finish, Matte Finish, Coated Finishes.

Is polycarbonate resistant to UV rays and discoloration over time?

We offer polycarbonate sheets with a UV-resistant coating or treatment on one or both sides, which significantly enhances their ability to block harmful UV rays and prolongs their lifespan.

Does polycarbonate provide good insulation and thermal performance?

While polycarbonate provides decent thermal performance, it’s essential to consider other factors, such as the thickness of the panels, the configuration (e.g., clear vs. frosted), and the specific application to ensure that it meets the desired insulation and energy efficiency standards for your project.

Is polycarbonate rainscreen cladding easy to install?

Polycarbonate is much lighter than materials like glass or metal, making it easier to handle and install. This can reduce labor costs and simplify the installation process.
Many polycarbonate cladding systems are pre-fabricated or come in panels that are ready to install, reducing on-site cutting and fabrication time.
While installation is typically straightforward, following the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations is essential for ensuring proper water drainage, ventilation, and thermal expansion.

Can it be installed on an existing building, or is it only for new construction?

Polycarbonate rainscreen cladding is a versatile option suitable for both new construction and retrofitting existing buildings. When planning installation, it’s essential to consider factors like structural requirements, aesthetics, insulation, and ventilation to ensure optimal performance and compliance with local building codes.

Is polycarbonate cladding cost-effective compared to other materials like aluminum or glass?

Polycarbonate cladding can be a cost-effective alternative to aluminum and glass, particularly in terms of material and installation costs. The final choice will depend on project-specific requirements, including aesthetics, durability, energy efficiency, and budget. It’s advisable to conduct a detailed cost analysis, including all associated aspects, to determine the most cost-effective solution for your specific project.
