Frequently Asked Questions
How much privacy does hammered glass multiwall polycarbonate provide?
Hammered glass multiwall polycarbonate provides complete privacy due to the textured surface. You cannot see shapes or details through it - only diffused light passes through. This makes it ideal for bathroom skylights, shower enclosures, and privacy screens where you want natural light without any visibility. It offers more privacy than opal or clear multiwall options.
Does the hammered texture look like real hammered glass?
Yes, the hammered texture closely resembles decorative hammered or textured glass, providing an upscale, elegant appearance. While it's plastic rather than glass, the surface texture creates similar visual effects with light diffusion and aesthetic appeal. The advantage is you get the look of decorative glass with 200x the strength and better insulation at a fraction of the cost.
Can I use hammered glass polycarbonate for a patio cover?
Yes, hammered glass multiwall polycarbonate is excellent for patio covers, especially when you want privacy from neighbors or upper-floor windows. It provides beautiful diffused light, insulation, and complete privacy while adding a decorative element. The textured surface also helps hide dirt and water spots better than smooth clear panels.
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 to ensure proper weatherproofing.
