Introduction
Why Polycarbonate Sheets Are Ideal for Your PEB Structure
Industrial buildings need light. But traditional glass is heavy, fragile, and dangerous. That’s where polycarbonate sheets come in.
Polycarbonate is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional strength, clarity, and durability. It is up to 250 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic . This makes it the ideal choice for:
Skylights that bring natural light into your building
Roofing sheets that withstand Odisha’s harsh weather
Glazing panels where safety and impact resistance are critical
Canopies and walkway covers that protect without darkening
At Arise PEB Construction, we supply and install Polycarbonate Sheets for PEB Structures in Odisha — helping you reduce electricity costs, improve working conditions, and protect your building from the elements.
Types Of Polycarbonate Sheets We Offer
Solid, Multiwall & Profile Sheets for Every Application
A. Polycarbonate Profile Sheets
What They Are :
Profile sheets are polycarbonate panels shaped to match the profile of your metal roofing sheets. They are used as skylight panels integrated directly into your roofing system.
Key Features:
- Matches common metal roofing profiles
- Seamless integration with existing roofing
- Available in clear, opal, and bronze tints
- UV-resistant for long-term outdoor performance
- Lightweight and easy to install
Applications:
- Skylight panels in industrial roofing
- Factory and warehouse daylighting
- EC poultry sheds requiring natural light
- Any PEB structure needing integrated daylighting
B. Solid Polycarbonate Sheets
What They Are :
Solid polycarbonate sheets are single-layer, transparent panels with exceptional impact resistance and optical clarity . They are the strongest type of polycarbonate sheet available.
Key Features:
- 250 times stronger than glass and 30 times stronger than acrylic
- Excellent optical clarity — light transmission up to 90%
- Available with UV-resistant coating for outdoor use
- Temperature stability: performs from -40°C to +120°C
- Can be cut, drilled, bent, or thermoformed for custom installations
Applications:
- Machine safety guards and protective glazing
- Skylights and roofing panels
- Security glazing and barriers
- Industrial equipment covers
Thickness Range: 2mm to 12mm standard; custom thicknesses available
C. Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheets
What They Are :
Multiwall polycarbonate sheets (also called twin-wall or double-layer sheets) feature a hollow, ribbed structure that provides superior thermal insulation while maintaining excellent light transmission .
Key Features:
- Excellent thermal insulation (U-value as low as 1.6 W/m²·K at 25mm)
- Lightweight — reduces structural load on your PEB frame
- Available in 2-wall, 3-wall, and 5-wall configurations
- UV protection on one or both sides
- Sound reduction properties (15-21 dB depending on thickness)
Applications:
- Roofing and cladding for industrial sheds
- Skylights and overhead glazing
- Greenhouses and cold frames
- Patio and deck covers
Structural steel anchorage
Retaining wall connections
Thickness Range: 4mm to 25mm

Key Benefits for Your PEB Structure :
Reduce Electricity Costs: Natural daylight reduces the need for artificial lighting during daytime hours.
Improve Worker Productivity: Studies show that natural light improves mood, alertness, and productivity in industrial settings.
Withstand Odisha’s Climate: Polycarbonate sheets are designed for intense heat and heavy rainfall — ideal for Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and across Odisha .
Lightweight: Polycarbonate is significantly lighter than glass, reducing structural load on your PEB frame.
Safe and Durable: Unlike glass, polycarbonate won’t shatter into dangerous shards — it’s designed for safety.

Installation Guidelines
Proper Installation for Maximum Performance
Pre-Installation
Verify UV Side: Ensure the UV-protected side faces outward (toward the sun)
Check Orientation: Multiwall sheets should have ribs running perpendicular to the purlins for drainage
Allow Thermal Expansion: Polycarbonate expands and contracts with temperature changes — leave appropriate gaps
Installation
Use Proper Fasteners: Use screws with neoprene washers to prevent water ingress
Pre-Drill Holes: Drill holes slightly larger than the screw diameter to allow thermal movement
Seal End Caps: Install end caps on multiwall sheets to prevent dust and moisture ingress
Apply Sealant: Use compatible sealants (silicone or butyl) at overlaps and edges
Post-Installation
Clean Carefully: Use mild soap and water — avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents
Inspect Seals: Check flashing and sealant integrity after installation
Schedule Maintenance: Periodic cleaning maintains light transmission
