1/16" Clear Polycarbonate Sheet - 48" x 96"

Why Choose 1/16" Clear Polycarbonate at Full Sheet Size?

The 1/16" thickness represents the sweet spot between flexibility and strength—thin enough to bend and form, yet 250 times stronger than glass at the same thickness. This full 48" x 96" sheet provides maximum coverage with minimal weight, making it the go-to choice for applications where traditional glass is too heavy or rigid, and thicker polycarbonate is unnecessary.

At approximately 12 pounds per sheet, this is one of the lightest protective materials available while still delivering exceptional impact resistance. The full sheet size eliminates seams and joins in large installations, providing a clean, professional appearance for glazing, barriers, and protective applications.

This Thickness Excels When You Need:

• Lightweight protection - Minimal weight for overhead installations, temporary barriers, or applications where structural load is a concern
• Flexibility for curved applications - Can be cold-formed to gentle curves without heat, perfect for rounded barriers or cylindrical guards
• Impact resistance over glass - Virtually unbreakable compared to glass, ideal for environments where glass breakage is a safety concern
• Easy installation and handling - Light enough for one person to handle and install, reducing labor costs and installation time
• Cost-effective protection - Provides polycarbonate's legendary impact resistance at the most economical thickness point

Trusted Manufacturing Quality

Our clear polycarbonate sheets are sourced from North America's most respected manufacturers—the same materials specified for critical commercial and industrial applications. Whether we supply Lexan® 9034 from Polyvantis, Tuffak® GP from Plaskolite, or Azcarb® GP from AZpolymers, you're receiving genuine general-purpose polycarbonate that meets ASTM D3935 standards. Our supplier may vary based on availability, but the quality and performance remain consistently exceptional.

When to Choose 1/16" Over Other Thicknesses

Select 1/16" polycarbonate when weight is a critical factor and you don't require the rigidity of thicker sheets. This thickness works best for spans under 18 inches with light frame support, temporary protective barriers, lightweight machine guards, and applications where the material needs to conform to slight curves. For spans over 24 inches or high-impact environments, consider our 1/8" or 1/4" options for added stiffness.

The full 48" x 96" sheet size is particularly valuable for large protective barriers, greenhouse panels, and architectural glazing where minimizing seams improves both appearance and weather resistance. You can also have us cut this down to smaller custom sizes for your specific project requirements.
