Solid Polycarbonate UV
Polycarbonate sheets deliver the transparency of glass at less than half the weight combining superior impact resistance and clarity, making it the material of choice for many demanding applications. Polycarbonate can be fabricated and formed, making it ideal for applications such as barrel vault roofing, roof lights and glazing. Clear, translucent or opaque polycarbonate sheets are also ideal for safety glazing applications, with excellent fire resistance. Another application is temporary glazing panels where polycarbonate is perfect due to its clarity, strength and how easy it is to cut to size with simple tools such as a jigsaw.
TBS is an exclusive distributor and stockist in the UK of 15mm clear solid 2050mm x 3050mm polycarbonate sheet.
Finishing & Fabrication Available
-
Up to 3m x 2m capacity, and a variety of different cutters achieving a wide range of cutting abilities in plastic and composite ali material.
-
Precision drilling can be done in any panel and any position with accurate and consistent holes. no restriction! specify what size you need.
-
We utilise a 600 ton press which has the capability or cold forming up to 10mm Polycarbonate. excellent for guards, screens, folded drip edges on glazing and canopies or structural bends on vertical glazing.
-
We specialise in edge routing, and are able to create any type of shaped edge. Most common is radius routing and chamfering, this produces a safe edge, perfect for wall mirrors, screens and exposed edges.
-
With 6000mm x 2100mm cutting capability. Quick and efficient with accuracy down to 0.1mm ensures consistent and accurate material cutting.
