We stock glazing bars, F-profiles, U-channels, HP profiles, aluminium edge trims, fixing buttons, breather and foil tapes, silicone sealants and other items that make fitting plastic sheets quicker and easier.

The starting point is the sheet type and thickness. For example, 10 mm multiwall sheets need 10 mm bars and matching U-channels. If you send us a quick sketch of your layout and tell us which sheet you’re using, we’ll suggest a full set of compatible profiles.

Breather tape at the lower edge lets moisture escape while keeping insects and dust out of the flutes. Aluminium tape at the top edge closes the flutes completely. This helps keep the sheets cleaner inside and reduces condensation problems over time.

Yes. Our accessories are used by installers, but they’re also straightforward for confident DIY users. We choose items that work reliably with our sheet products and help you get a tidy finish.

Absolutely. Fixing buttons, tapes, glazing bars and silicone cartridges are all available separately, so you can top up what comes in a kit or order parts for a custom project.

Yes. If you’re unsure what you need, get in touch with us by phone or through our contact page. Our team of plastic-sheet specialists can talk through your project and suggest a complete set of parts.

The bsmart collection is our partnership range with a premium plastic sheet supplier. It focuses on higher-end sheets such as abrasion-resistant polycarbonate, cast and extruded acrylic, neon and opal acrylic, PETG and greenhouse panels, plus selected items like solid polycarbonate and extruded acrylic mirror within the bsmart sub-collection.

Right now, the bsmart collection highlights:

• Solid polycarbonate sheets
• Extruded acrylic mirror sheets

These sit alongside our wider plastic-sheets range in the main menu.

We suggest bsmart solid polycarbonate for demanding glazing jobs where you need clarity and very high impact resistance, for example security glazing, protective screens or industrial panels.

Extruded acrylic mirror works well for point-of-sale units, interior features, dance or fitness studios, decorative panels and any area where you want a reflective surface without the weight and shatter risk of glass mirror.

Yes. Bsmart sheets can be used with the same kinds of fixings, profiles and tapes that we supply for our other sheet products. If you are unsure which accessories to pick, just ask us and we’ll match them for you.

A side-passage roof covers the space along the side of a house or wall, creating a dry walkway between front and back or a sheltered storage area. Our kits are long and relatively narrow to suit this kind of layout.

Each package includes:

• Clear multiwall polycarbonate sheets cut for the fall and length
• Matching glazing bars
• Edge profiles
• Fixing buttons
• Tapes and clear silicone

The sheets are cut, blown and taped, and the rest of the parts are matched to that configuration.

Yes. The listed side-passage packages are guides based on typical houses. If your passage is shorter, longer or slightly wider, send us the measurements and we can adjust the sheet sizes and bar layout.

Any hard roof will create some noise in heavy rain, but multiwall polycarbonate tends to soften the sound compared with bare metal sheets, and the hollow structure gives some sound dampening.

Yes. Many customers close off one or both ends with acrylic or polycarbonate panels or doors to create a more enclosed space. We can supply matching sheet materials if you want to extend the cover like that.

A lean-to roof has a single slope and is fixed to a main building on one side, slanting away from it. It’s a simple way to create a covered patio, utility area or carport along a wall.

A lean-to kit includes:

• Clear multiwall polycarbonate sheets cut to the specified fall and length
• Glazing bars
• Edge profiles (F-profiles and U-channels)
• Fixing buttons
• Tapes and clear silicone sealant

So you have everything you need for the roof itself.

The first figure is the fall (distance from the wall down the slope). The second figure is the length along the wall. You’ll need enough space in both directions for the kit size you choose.

You can carry out small trims with suitable tools, but we recommend using our cut-to-size service to get the main cuts done. That way you usually only need minor adjustments on site.

Many customers fit lean-to roofs themselves. The concept is straightforward, but it’s important to follow the guidance on rafter spacing and fixings and to build a safe, secure frame. Where loads are high or spans are large, a professional installer is a good idea.

Our free-standing packages are based on a clear multiwall polycarbonate roof sitting on a pergola-style frame that stands on its own, rather than fixing straight to the house. They’re ideal for garden seating and outdoor dining areas.

No. We supply the roofing sheets and glazing accessories. The posts, beams and main structure are supplied and built by you or your contractor.

Yes. The example sizes are popular layouts, but the multiwall sheets and accessories can be cut and adjusted for a custom frame. Share your frame dimensions and we’ll help you plan the roof.

Our multiwall polycarbonate roofing is made for outdoor use, with UV protection and high impact strength. Fitted to a properly built frame with the right spacing, it stands up very well to wind and rain.

Our DIY packages are ready-made kits for popular roof layouts. Each one combines clear multiwall polycarbonate sheets with the glazing bars, edge profiles, fixings, tapes and sealant needed for that size and style of roof.

No. We supply the plastic roofing and accessories. You (or your builder) provide the supporting structure and fix it to your house, garden or other base.

The DIY range covers three main layouts:

• Lean-to roofs fixed to a house or wall
• Free-standing roofs for pergola-style structures
• Long, narrow roofs for side passages

Each kit is based on multiwall polycarbonate roofing.

Yes. In line with our standard practice, panels in the DIY kits are cut, the flutes are blown clear, and the ends are taped with breather and aluminium tape, so they are ready to install.

Our listed kits are based on common roof sizes, but they are also a guide. If your project is a bit longer, shorter or deeper, let us know your measurements and we can adjust sheet cuts and accessories to suit.

Of course. If you send us a rough sketch and a few photos, we can talk through the options and point you to the closest kit or a custom layout.

Solid polycarbonate is a flat, clear sheet with very high impact strength. It’s often used for safety glazing, machine guards, security screens, rooflights, canopies and similar jobs where you need clear panels that can take a knock.

Polycarbonate is far more impact-resistant than standard glass, while weighing less. That makes it well suited to exposed areas, busy workspaces and places where breakage would be a serious risk.

Yes. Our solid polycarbonate sheet is made from UV-stabilised resin and has UV protection on both sides, so it keeps its clarity and resists discolouration outdoors.

You can cold-bend polycarbonate within the recommended radius, and it can also be formed with heat for tighter curves, domes and shaped panels. This gives you a lot of freedom for rooflights and special glazing details.

We offer a range of thicknesses (for example from around 2 mm up to heavier gauges for more demanding jobs) and standard sheet sizes. We then cut to size so you receive panels that suit your frame or opening.

Multiwall polycarbonate is a hollow-core sheet that is light in weight, very tough and gives good insulation. It’s widely used for roofs, canopies, greenhouses and skylights as a practical alternative to glass.

A simple rule of thumb:

• 10 mm – smaller lean-to roofs, canopies, side passages
• 16 mm – patios, pergolas, carports
• 25 mm – spots where extra insulation or stiffness is needed

Our multiwall guide and product pages show typical rafter spacing and uses for each thickness, and we’re happy to talk that through with you.

We stock 10 mm, 16 mm and 25 mm multiwall sheets in standard panel sizes, with longer lengths (up to 6000–7000 mm) available on request. Clear panels are the main option, with other tints available on certain sizes.

Yes. Our multiwall roofing sheets have a UV-protected surface. The label and datasheet show which face goes outwards; that side should face the sun to help prevent yellowing and surface damage over time.

We can. Multiwall panels are cut to your measurements, the flutes are blown clear with compressed air, and the ends are taped with breather and aluminium tape unless you ask us not to. That means the sheets arrive ready for installation.

For a complete roof you’ll normally need glazing bars, U-channels or F-profiles, fixing buttons, tapes and clear silicone. You’ll find these in our accessories and tools collections, and we can help you match parts to your sheet type.

Acrylic (often called Perspex or plexiglass) is a clear plastic sheet with high light transmission, good impact strength and strong UV stability. It’s a great choice for glazing, display panels, guards, screens and interior features.

Yes. Our acrylic sheets are UV stable and can be used outdoors for signage, screens and canopies, provided they are fixed and supported correctly.

Cast acrylic usually gives the best optical clarity and is ideal if you plan to machine, polish or fabricate more intricate pieces. Extruded acrylic is more economical and very consistent in thickness, which suits general glazing and cut-to-size panels.

You can cut and drill acrylic with suitable blades and drill bits, but it needs care to avoid chipping or cracking. Many customers ask us to cut the sheets to size and then only do light trimming or drilling on site.

Yes. Acrylic sheets are supplied with a thin protective film on one or both faces to help prevent scratching during transport and handling. You simply peel this off once your sheet is in place.

In this collection you’ll find:

• Clear extruded sheets
• Black and white acrylic
• Opal cast acrylic
• Neon acrylic sheets in bright colours

So you can pick something very simple or something more eye-catching for displays.

We stock a wide range of plastic sheets for roofing, greenhouses and DIY projects. That includes acrylic sheets, multiwall polycarbonate, solid clear polycarbonate, abrasion-resistant polycarbonate, PETG, greenhouse panel packs and more.

Yes. We offer a free cut-to-size service on our sheet materials. You give us your measurements, we cut the panels before dispatch, so you have less waste and less work on site.

For most roofs, canopies, patios and greenhouses, multiwall polycarbonate is the sheet we usually recommend. It’s light, strong and gives far better insulation than single glazing, which makes it ideal for Irish weather.

For clear panels where looks matter, we normally suggest either acrylic or solid clear polycarbonate:

• Acrylic for very high clarity and UV stability
• Solid polycarbonate where extra impact resistance is important (for example, safety glazing or screens)
  

Yes. Our roofing-grade multiwall polycarbonate has a UV-protected face, and our solid polycarbonate sheets are manufactured from UV-stabilised resin with UV protection on both sides, so they resist yellowing outdoors.

We ship nationwide and offer collection from our Knockmitten Lane depot in Dublin. Our goal is to get sheets cut, packed and out to you as quickly as possible.

Nossas opções mais populares são policarbonato transparente de parede dupla de 10 mm e parede tripla de 16 mm. Para este sistema, você precisará de perfis de junção Capex, seções laterais F, perfis frontais RSC U, botões de fixação, silicone e flashing, todos os quais você verá no exemplo do telhado. Além disso, você pode informar como é a superfície da parede, pois isso afetará qual flashing pode ser usado e se você precisa ou não pré-preparar a superfície.

Ao instalar um Pacote Lean-To , mantenha uma inclinação mínima de 5 graus para que a água da chuva escorra em direção à calha, evitando que a umidade se acumule no telhado.

• Use uma broca de aço afiada.
• Coloque os botões a uma distância de 500 mm / 600 mm.
• Fure a pelo menos 40 mm de distância da borda da folha.
• Fure entre as costelas.
• Não aperte demais o parafuso ao fixá-lo.
• Use uma broca de 12 mm / 13 mm para permitir a expansão e a contração.
• Use selante de silicone ao redor da borda do botão para ajudar a vedar e evitar vazamentos.

Se você usar nossas chapas de policarbonato transparente de parede dupla/parede tripla, oferecemos uma garantia de 10 anos de não descoloração/amarelamento: se instaladas corretamente. Essas chapas são chapas de um só lado, protegidas contra UV, então é essencial que o lado revestido com UV seja instalado voltado para o céu; as chapas serão claramente rotuladas como “lado UV”.

Faça uma solução de água morna e limpador doméstico comum ou sabão neutro e use isso para lavar o lençol. Uma esponja ou pano macio deve ser usado para remover suavemente a sujeira e a fuligem.

Aviso:

- Não esfregue a folha com escovas ou objetos cortantes.

- Não utilize rodos.

- Evite solventes diferentes dos listados ou quaisquer produtos de limpeza abrasivos.

- Evite produtos de limpeza com composição altamente alcalina.

As chapas de policarbonato multiparede não são projetadas para suportar o peso de uma pessoa, então você deve evitar andar sobre elas. Se você precisar ter sucesso com as chapas de telhado, use tábuas de rastejamento entre as vigas ou escadas de degraus como um meio seguro de fazê-lo.

O policarbonato é um material termoplástico cujas propriedades fantásticas e versatilidade o tornam o material perfeito para uma ampla gama de aplicações.

A estrutura do plástico compreende grupos de carbonato. Isso permite que o material seja forte e flexível ao mesmo tempo. É amplamente usado em envidraçamento graças à sua combinação única de clareza, força e resistência UV.

Aplicações: Coberturas, solários, garagens, a maioria das aplicações de envidraçamento, passarelas, abrigos, proteções de máquinas e estufas, e muito mais.

Em relação à resistência do seu telhado: o policarbonato é considerado
virtualmente inquebrável com uma resistência ao impacto de cerca de 200 a 250 vezes mais forte do que o vidro de segurança comum. O policarbonato também se sai favoravelmente em relação a outras opções de plástico. Por exemplo, é 30 vezes mais forte do que uma folha de acrílico comparável.

Sim, você pode cortar as folhas de policarbonato no tamanho que quiser. No entanto, recomendamos usar o método correto e seguro para fazer isso. As folhas de policarbonato podem ser cortadas com uma serra circular ou uma serra tico-tico. Uma serra circular é a melhor ferramenta para usar para cortar comprimentos maiores de policarbonato. Graças às propriedades deste material, o policarbonato não racha nem lasca ao redor do corte.

Sim, você pode furar furos em chapas de policarbonato. Ao furar policarbonato, é importante que a chapa esteja bem apoiada. Coloque a chapa em uma superfície plana que a suporte bem e na qual a broca possa bater, por exemplo, uma tábua de madeira. Você pode furar policarbonato com uma broca de aço normal ou uma broca HSS.

Embora muito semelhantes na aparência, há 2 diferenças principais entre policarbonato transparente e acrílico transparente. O policarbonato tem uma resistência ao impacto muito maior do que o acrílico; aproximadamente 30 vezes mais forte. Nosso policarbonato tem um revestimento de proteção UV em ambos os lados, o que dá uma garantia de 10 a 15 anos de não descoloração, enquanto o acrílico é naturalmente resistente a UV e não descolorirá por mais de 20 anos.

Elaboramos um guia prático abordando as diferenças entre os dois materiais, que pode ser encontrado aqui .

O policarbonato é um material robusto e duradouro. Sua duração é afetada por fatores como o tipo de uso e a quantidade de desgaste a que é exposto. Mas, em média, você pode facilmente esperar um mínimo de 10 anos e potencialmente até 20 anos ou mais.

Acrílico fundido e acrílico extrudado são ambos produzidos a partir do mesmo termoplástico base; PMMA; Polimetilmetacrilato, mais comumente conhecido como “perspex” ou “plexiglass”. Os diferentes processos de produção são responsáveis ​​por suas propriedades ligeiramente diferentes e resultam em serem adequados para diferentes aplicações.
