For cutting SUNTUF corrugated polycarbonate sheets, a fine-toothed circular saw or jigsaw with a blade designed for cutting plastic is ideal. This minimizes chipping and ensures a smooth cut.

• Measure and Mark: Use a straight edge to draw a cut line.
• Secure the Sheet: Clamp the sheet to prevent movement while cutting.
• Cut: Use a circular saw or jigsaw, cutting along the marked line at a steady pace.
• Smooth Edges: Sand down any rough edges to prevent injuries and ensure a clean finish.

• Prepare the Frame: Ensure the frame is clean and stable.
• Position Sheets: Lay sheets on the frame with the correct overlap (typically 1-2 corrugations).
• Secure with Fasteners: Use screws with rubber washers at the crests of the corrugations, leaving room for thermal expansion.
• Seal Joints: Apply sealant to all joints to prevent leaks.
• Trim Excess: Cut any overhanging sections and ensure all screws are tightened.

The minimum recommended roof pitch for SUNTUF and PALRUF sheets is 5 degrees. This pitch promotes effective drainage and helps prevent water pooling.

Yes, SUNTUF corrugated polycarbonate sheets can be bent into arches as long as the bend radius is not too tight. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific bending recommendations.

The side with the UV protection layer should face up. This side is typically smooth and is designed to resist weathering and damage from UV rays.

Polycarbonate is designed for durability, but prolonged exposure to UV rays and environmental factors can lead to some deterioration of light transmittance over time. Choosing high-quality materials and protective coatings can help mitigate this issue.

To determine these properties, refer to the product specifications provided by the manufacturer. Light transmission can be tested using a photometer, while haze is assessed using a haze meter. For color, physical samples are available, allowing you to see how the polycarbonate will look in your application.
