1. What are the benefits of using plastic sheets for these applications?
The advantages of each plastic sheet vary based on the specific application, but typically include the following:
Cost-Effective
As the heat is kept in and the cold is banished, you won’t find yourself turning on your heating or air conditioning as often. Over the first year, you will start to see a steady reduction in energy consumption and costs.
Durability
If you need a strong, long-lasting alternative, consider opting for plastic sheets. They are shatterproof and lightweight, making them safer for DIY projects.
Ease of Maintenance
Plastic sheets are incredibly easy to clean and maintain. Simply wet a soft cloth with soapy water to remove any mess, followed by a stain and scratch remover for stubborn marks. Our panels also act as a barrier to unwanted bacteria, reducing the risk of getting sick.
Energy-Efficient
The increase in insulation provides an energy-efficient alternative. The majority of heat is lost through gaps in our doors and windows, but our plastic sheets reduce that heat loss.
Noise Reduction
Plastic sheets add an additional layer to your existing window, or can be a standalone screen if required. Through its airtight capability, outside noise is reduced and indoor acoustics are improved.
Privacy
Specific finishes give a sense of relief with added privacy. For example, a frosted finish provides extra privacy when showering or even having an important business meeting.
Versatility
Our plastic sheets come in a variety of sizes, colours, textures, and finishes for all types of applications, and the benefits change based on these.
Weatherproof
Plastic sheets are resistant to harsh weather conditions, from heavy snowfall to extreme temperatures. Cold weather and UV rays can’t leak through the gaps, reducing condensation, mould, and sunglare.
