Description
Clear UV Polycarbonate Sheets are available in 1/8" and 1/4" thicknesses. Standard sheet size is 48" × 96" (full 4' × 8' sheet). For projects requiring exact dimensions, we offer cut-to-size UV polycarbonate sheets in any width up to 48" and length up to 96", available in both thicknesses.
Clear UV Polycarbonate Sheet is a transparent, virtually unbreakable solid material that's 250 times stronger than glass with added UV protection for extended outdoor durability. This enhanced polycarbonate features a special UV-resistant coating that prevents yellowing and degradation for 10+ years in direct sunlight, making it the ideal choice for outdoor applications requiring maximum strength, crystal-clear visibility, and long-term clarity.
Perfect for outdoor applications requiring both transparency and durability, UV-protected solid polycarbonate maintains glass-like optical clarity while being lightweight and easy to work with using standard tools. It can be cut, routed, drilled, and milled for custom projects. From security glazing to outdoor signage, machine guards to patio doors, skylight covers to protective barriers, this versatile material delivers superior clarity with unmatched impact protection and UV stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is UV-protected polycarbonate?
UV-protected polycarbonate has a special coating that blocks harmful UV rays, preventing the material from yellowing, becoming brittle, or degrading when exposed to sunlight. This extends outdoor life to 10+ years compared to 2-3 years for standard polycarbonate without UV protection.
What's the difference between solid and multiwall polycarbonate?
Solid polycarbonate is a single clear sheet with glass-like clarity, ideal for applications requiring maximum visibility like security glazing and machine guards. Multiwall polycarbonate has hollow flutes between layers, providing better thermal insulation and light diffusion - making it the preferred choice for greenhouses and conservatories.
Can I use this for outdoor windows or doors?
Yes! UV solid polycarbonate is excellent for outdoor windows, patio doors, and security glazing. It provides crystal-clear visibility like glass while being 250 times stronger and virtually unbreakable. The UV protection ensures it won't yellow for 10+ years outdoors.
Is this suitable for greenhouses?
For greenhouses, we recommend multiwall polycarbonate instead of solid sheet. Multiwall provides better thermal insulation to maintain consistent temperatures and diffuses light more evenly for plant growth. Solid UV polycarbonate is best for applications requiring glass-like clarity such as security glazing and machine guards.
