The main benefits of using polycarbonate for a pergola include:
- High Impact Resistance: Polycarbonate is up to 250 times stronger than glass, meaning it won’t shatter or crack from falling debris or severe hail.
- UV Protection & Heat Control: It blocks up to 99% of harmful UV radiation and can lower the temperature beneath the pergola significantly when specific tints or multiwall sheets are selected.
- Light Transmission: Depending on the tint you choose (e.g., clear, bronze, or opal), you can customize the amount of sunlight that filters into your space while preventing harsh glare.
- Lightweight & Easy Installation: Because it is much lighter than glass, it puts less stress on your pergola’s wooden or metal frame and is easier to install.
