Description
Bronze Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheet features a hollow, ribbed structure with multiple walls that provide exceptional insulation and impact resistance while adding a warm, bronze tint. Also known as twinwall or double-wall polycarbonate, this lightweight material offers superior thermal efficiency and glare reduction compared to clear panels. The bronze tint filters light beautifully while the internal ribs create air pockets that insulate against heat loss, making it ideal for greenhouses, patio covers, and structures where you want both energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
ShapesPlastics' Bronze Multiwall Polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable - up to 200 times stronger than glass - while weighing significantly less. The cellular structure combined with the bronze tint diffuses light evenly and reduces heat transmission, creating comfortable spaces in bright conditions. UV-protected on both sides to prevent yellowing and degradation, bronze multiwall polycarbonate maintains its rich color and strength for years. Easy to install and available in various thicknesses and wall configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much heat does bronze multiwall polycarbonate block?
Bronze multiwall polycarbonate blocks more heat than clear panels due to the combination of the tinted color and insulating air pockets. The bronze tint reduces solar heat gain while the multiwall structure provides thermal insulation, making covered spaces significantly cooler than with clear panels. This makes it ideal for sunny climates and south-facing installations.
Does bronze tint affect plant growth in greenhouses?
Bronze tint reduces light transmission compared to clear polycarbonate, which may affect some plants that require maximum light. For most greenhouse applications, clear or opaque white multiwall is preferred for optimal plant growth. However, bronze works well for shaded growing areas, propagation houses, or structures where heat control is more important than maximum light.
What's the difference between multiwall and solid polycarbonate?
Multiwall (also called twinwall or double-wall) polycarbonate has a hollow structure with internal ribs that create insulating air pockets. This provides better thermal efficiency and light diffusion than solid sheets. Solid polycarbonate offers better optical clarity but multiwall is more energy-efficient, lighter, and better for roofing applications.
How do I install multiwall polycarbonate sheets?
Multiwall polycarbonate installs using specialized profiles and fasteners designed for the material. The hollow channels must run vertically to allow moisture drainage. Use proper sealing tape to close the ends and prevent moisture/insect entry. Pre-drill holes larger than fasteners to allow for thermal expansion. Professional installation is recommended for large projects.
