Roof Glazing Options
Many of our shade and shelter products are available with a choice of roof options which are listed below.
Glazing Panels in Detail:
6mm and 8mm Toughened Glass
The glass roof panels are toughened during the manufacturing process and achieve Class 1 BS EN 12600 for impact performance.
Available in clear, blue, grey, bronze and green.
6mm Toughened Self-Cleaning Glass
The 6mm self-cleaning toughened glass panel has a UV activated special coating that is applied during manufacturing that breaks down organic dirt which is then washed away by the rain. Only a small amount of UV is needed to activate the special coating so your canopy remains clean even on cloudy days.
Available in clear and blue.
6mm Solid Polycarbonate
The solid polycarbonate is 6mm thick and is vandal and shatter resistant. It blocks over 98% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of skin damage from the sun to those sitting underneath and also stops the panels from yellowing over time.
Available in clear, blue, grey, bronze and green.
16mm and 35mm Structured Polycarbonate
These panels feature a block edge finish which is a hard edge on both sides of the panel that provides a much stronger roof system for improved snow loading capabilities. It is also vandal and shatter resistant and benefits from excellent fire performance, meeting BS476 part 7 class 1, EN13501 and B-s1, d0.
A layer of UV absorber is coextruded on the outer surface of the roof panels which prevents damaging UV radiation from penetrating the sheet and protects those sitting underneath from the sun. UV protection also prevents yellowing and loss of strength to the panel, giving it longer life.
Available in clear, opal and bronze.
