USGR offers polycarbonate coverings for all types of applications such as greenhouse, institutions, research facilities and retail greenhouses. Agricultural research has shown that both crops with a high plant canopy and ornamental plants with a small canopy can utilize diffused light better than direct light. Our 8mm Polymatte™ sheets provide 77%light transmission and 100%light diffusion which create opti­mal light conditions for enhanced plant growth.

We have supplied polycarbonates from factories around the world to cleats in all industries – and in quantity from small units to many thousands of square feet. Greenhouse is a major user of the product but other recent contracts have been:

1. High impact product for train locomotive windows
2. Skylights for resort and industrial uses
3. Large aquarium installation
4. Large patio covering
5. Walkways
6. Sheet material for diverse uses
7. Insulating and lining panels
8. Greenhouse polycarbonate covers
9. Nurseries
10. Hobby Greenhouses
11. Commercial Greenhouses
12. Institutional Research Greenhouses
13. Agricultural and Low-Tech Greenhouses
14. Aquaculture Facilities
15. Biomass Growing Houses

Now the better option for for efficient greenhouse coverings is the tough, new corrugated Polycarbonate sheets that have many commercial and industrial applications. Polycarbonate sheets are very popular in greenhouses of all types.

Our Multi Wall sheet & profile connectors are the innovative building material used in sports arenas, greenhouses, hurricane shutters, bus shelters, car ports, sunrooms, covered walkways, partition walls, facades, and roofing. Whether you want to keep the heat out in summer, or keep the heat in for winter, USGR Multi Wall sheet is the leader in structured polycarbonate.

These Polycarbonate panels offer the design flexibility, easy installation and economy without premature surface deterioration or loss of light transmission. With service life years longer than polyethylene or fiberglass wall, and more economical than glass, Polymatte, Twin Wall, Multi Wall and Corrugated polycarbonate sheet fills an important cost/performance niche in rigid coverings.

Please see our corrugated polycarbonate sheets specifications page for technical details.

Typical Corrugated Installation
Note width of corrugation. Example shown is Greca configuration which is modified corrugation and
definitely the most popular.

LEXAN® corrugated material is an extruded polycarbonate sheet which offers impact strength, high light transmission, long-term weatherability, and ease of installation. LEXAN corrugated sheet offers an economical, long term option for plant protection and is backed by a ten-year warranty against discoloration and loss of light transmission and a five-year warranty against hail damage. (Warranty specifications available upon request.)

Typical Twin Wall Extrusions and Accessories

Installing Twin wall Polycarbonate on Your Greenhouse.

Taking care of some simple techniques will make your projects successful.

1. Always install the sheets with the flutes oriented vertically. When
   used as a roof covering, design with at least a 5 degree slope, never
   horizontal.
2. Remember to allow for expansion and contraction in every installation.
   Bronze and Gray panels change more in size. Use extrusions that allow
   for sufficient edge engagement plus the expansion allowance.
3. Panels can be cut with protective masking in place with a fine tooth
   saw or a sharp knife. Remember to remove the masking prior to final
   fixing in place. Chips from cutting should be blown out of the flutes.
4. The specially treated weather side is identified on the masking. This
   side must always face the exterior.
5. In vertical installations, the top flutes should be capped with an
   extrusion or tape and the bottom left open for drainage. Vented tape
   can be used on the bottom.

Storage of Panels

The sheets should be stacked on a solid flat surface. Store out of direct
sun to avoid accumulated heat effects. Cover for protection. Never use flexible
vinyl sheets as a cover as the plasticizes may react with the Polycarbonate.
