Ampelite Solasafe Lvl 1 Polycarbonate is the brightest sheet in the Solasafe family, designed for patios, pergolas and carports where maximum daylight is welcome but strength and safety are non-negotiable. Extruded from premium polycarbonate only 0.8 mm thick yet up to 250 times stronger than glass, each sheet blocks 99.9 per cent of harmful UV, shrugs off 25 mm hailstones and carries a lifetime discolouration warranty plus ten-year hail breakage cover. Integral UV2 surface protection prevents yellowing, ensuring the roof stays clear for decades.
