Elevate Outdoor Dining with Multiwall Roofing Sheets

As outdoor dining is becoming the norm once again during the summer months, creating a comfortable and durable space is crucial. Your choice of roofing plays a significant role in achieving this goal. Multiwall roofing sheets offer an ideal solution, blending aesthetics with benefits that can transform any outdoor area.

Where Can Multiwall Roofing Sheets Be Used?

Multiwall roofing panels are incredibly versatile, making them suitable for a variety of properties beyond just outdoor dining spaces. These are some of the most common uses:

• Conservatories: Ideal for creating a bright and insulated space year-round.
• Patios and Decked Areas: Perfect for adding a protective, yet aesthetically-pleasing, cover.
• Skylights: Ensures high light transmission while providing excellent thermal insulation.
• Covered Walkways: Offers protection from the bad weather, making walkways safer and more comfortable.
• Greenhouses: Allows optimal growing conditions, insulation and light transmission.
• Carports and Shelters: Provides a durable, weather-resistant cover for vehicles and equipment, and keeps you safe under shelter.

What Are the Benefits of Multiwall Roofing Sheets?

Choosing multiwall roofing panels for your outdoor dining area comes with a multitude of benefits, such as:

• 30 times the impact resistance of acrylic and 250 times that of glass, ensuring durability.
• Excellent thermal insulation with a multi-layer structure, maintaining comfort and reducing energy costs.
• Blocks up to 98% of harmful UV radiation, protecting people and furnishings from sun damage.
• Withstands harsh weather conditions, including heavy snow, hail and intense sunlight.
• High fire performance rating, with the material designed to safely dissipate heat and resist flames.
• Lightweight and easy to handle, which reduces labour time and installation costs.
• Available in clear, opal and bronze, allowing for versatile and aesthetic design options that blend into your surroundings.
• Cut-to-size with a range of thicknesses, which reduces waste.

What Are the Environmental Impacts of Structured Polycarbonate?

As you may have guessed, our multiwall roofing sheets are made using high-grade polycarbonate. When considering the environmental impact of roofing materials, polycarbonate sheets offer several advantages, such as:

Improved Energy Efficiency:

The thermal insulation properties of multiwall roofing panels help reduce the need for heating and cooling from an air conditioner or a heater. Thereby, lowering energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and your monthly bills.

Ability to Be Recycled:

Polycarbonate is recyclable, which helps to minimise waste and supports environmental sustainability. Proper disposal and recycling can reduce the ecological footprint of these materials. Once the material has been melted or shredded, producers can reuse and resell it.

Longer Lifespan:

Due to their durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions, polycarbonate sheets have a long lifespan. This reduces the frequency of replacements and waste associated with shorter-lived materials.

How Much Are Multiwall Roofing Sheets Priced?

The cost of multiwall roofing panels starts from just 10p, making them a cost-effective solution for a wide range of projects. Pricing can vary based on thickness and size, but they generally offer excellent value compared to alternatives.

What Size of Multiwall Roofing Sheets Is Recommended?

When selecting the size of multiwall roofing panels for your project, consider both the application and the specific requirements of your space. For roofing specifically, we recommend a size between 16 mm and 35 mm for optimal strength and insulation.

Our multiwall roofing sheets are available in sizes ranging from a minimum width and length of 50 mm x 50 mm to a maximum of 6000 mm x 2100 mm.

Multiwall Roofing Sheets Installation Guide:

Installing multiwall roofing panels is straightforward, but there are a few key steps to ensure the best results. If you are attempting to build the structure yourself, follow our multiwall roofing sheets installation guide below:

Cutting (optional): Use a fine-tooth blade to cut the sheets to size. Ensure the sheets are at room temperature to prevent splitting.
Joining Sheets: Use glazing bars to connect the sheets. These should run across the entire length of the multiwall roofing sheet.
Taping: For sheets 16 mm thick and above, we provide pre-taped edges with both aluminium and anti-dust breather tape. Below this, you will need to order it and tape the edges yourself.
