The purpose of choosing multi-layer polycarbonate panels

The purpose of choosing multi-layer polycarbonate panels You choose multi-layer polycarbonate panels for good thermal insulation, high load-bearing strength, and low damage. But have you considered how many customers who have purchased and installed two-layer polycarbonate panels before reported that the polycarbonate panels have poor thermal insulation and low strength? So is it cost-effective to increase the cost and choose multi-layer polycarbonate panels?

Advantages and disadvantages of multi-layer polycarbonate panels and ordinary two-layer polycarbonate panels:


1. Advantages of multi-layer polycarbonate panels:

 

more layers, better sound insulation, better heat insulation, and stronger support than two layers.
Disadvantages of multi-layer polycarbonate panels: For canopies with arched curvature, the more layers of polycarbonate panels, the greater the impact on the service life, because it bears more force when it is bent.


2. Cost comparison:

 

 

The cost of multi-layer polycarbonate panels is much higher than that of two-layer polycarbonate panels due to the large amount of materials used. If the materials are not increased according to the proportion of multi-layer polycarbonate panels, the wall thickness of the seven-layer polycarbonate panels will not keep up and will become thinner, which will further affect the quality of use. In fact, the key to the service life of polycarbonate panels lies in the top layer, not the number of layers, so multi-layer polycarbonate panels do not bring much benefit to the service life.


3. So under what circumstances is it better to choose multi-layer polycarbonate panels?

 

 

When you are constructing a skylight, the density of the keel is too high, the spacing between the purlins is exaggerated, or when you need to increase the hardness of the plane and isolate noise when using it for indoor facade partitions, using multi-layer polycarbonate panels can play a very critical role in these situations.
