6 Things to Know Before You Buy
| # | Limitation | What to Do About It |
| 1 | Scratches more easily than glass | Polycarbonate is softer than glass. Avoid dragging tools or sharp objects across the surface during and after installation. |
| 2 | Needs a minimum 5 degree roof pitch | Laserlite 2000 requires at least a 5-degree slope so rainwater drains off properly. Flat roofs are not suitable. |
| 3 | Can expand and contract in heat | Like most plastics, polycarbonate sheets expand slightly in hot weather. Leave correct spacing gaps at fixings to avoid buckling. |
| 4 | Not suitable for very steep pitches without advice | Steep roof angles may need special fixing methods. Always check the Laserlite installation guide or ask a professional. |
| 5 | Light transmission varies by colour | Grey Tint only lets in 19% of light. If your space needs natural brightness, choose Clear or Opal instead. |
| 6 | Requires compatible sealants and accessories | Using the wrong sealants or fixings can void the warranty and cause leaks. Always use Laserlite-approved accessories. |
