FAQ

What is polycarbonate panels?

Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer recognized for its high impact resistance. It quickly gained popularity as safety glass and has been extensively used in curtain walls and facades. Its strength and versatility have seamlessly transitioned into architecture, where its translucency is ideal for various daylighting solutions, including curtain walling and wall light panels.

How to install polycarbonate curtain wall?

Our curtain wall installation services focus on a unitized system that enhances efficiency and quality. Pre-assembled panels are meticulously fabricated in our factory, ensuring precision and reducing on-site installation time. This approach not only streamlines the installation process but also minimizes potential errors, resulting in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing facade.

Is curtain wall safe?

Yes, curtain walls are considered safe when they are properly designed, installed and maintained. Many curtain wall systems use impact-resistant materials, such as tempered glass or polycarbonate, to enhance safety, especially in areas prone to extreme weather or vandalism.

What is unitized curtain wall?

A unitized curtain wall is a type of building facade system consisting of pre-assembled panels that are fabricated in a factory and then transported to the construction site for installation.

The difference between curtain wall and cladding

Curtain Wall

A curtain wall is a non-structural outer covering of a building that is designed to resist air and water infiltration, as well as provide structural support to the building facade.
Material: Typically made from materials like glass, polycarbonate, aluminum, and structural framing systems.
Functionality: Curtain walls are primarily used to enclose a building and provide views and natural light while maintaining energy efficiency. They are designed to handle wind loads and other environmental factors.
Attachment: Attached to the building’s structural frame but do not bear any of the building’s weight. Instead, they are supported by the main structure.

Cladding

Cladding refers to the application of one material over another to provide a skin or layer that offers protection and aesthetic appeal.
Material: Can be made from a wide range of materials, including polycarbonate, wood, metal, vinyl, brick, stone, and composite materials.
Functionality: Primarily serves to protect the building from weather elements, enhance aesthetics, and improve insulation. Cladding is also important for moisture management.

Benefits of Corrugated Design For Polycarbonate Skylight Panels

Corrugated polycarbonate panels stand out primarily due to their corrugated structure, which refers to the wave-like ridges that run along the surface. This design is a key feature because it adds significant strength and rigidity to the panel while keeping it lightweight. The corrugation creates air pockets between the peaks and valleys, which enhances insulation properties. This helps to reduce heat loss and maintain a stable indoor temperature.

The corrugated shape also increases the panel’s resistance to external pressures like wind, hail, and heavy rain. The rigidity provided by the grooves makes the panels more durable and capable of withstanding impacts better than flat sheets. Additionally, the design facilitates the flow of rainwater, reducing the chances of water pooling on the roof.

For skylights, these panels offer several advantages:

  1. Structural Strength: The corrugation improves the panel’s ability to withstand pressure, making it ideal for areas with harsh weather conditions.

  2. Light Diffusion: The shape of the corrugated panels helps diffuse light evenly throughout the space, reducing glare while maximizing natural daylight.

  3. Easy Installation: The design allows for simpler and faster installation, as the panels can easily overlap and lock into place.

In short, the corrugated feature of these polycarbonate panels plays a crucial role in enhancing their durability, insulation, and ease of installation, making them a top choice for skylights.
