Typical Twin Wall Extrusions and Accessories

Installing Twin wall Polycarbonate on Your Greenhouse.

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.
