Multiwall Polycarbonate Panel Installation Tips
- Protective Film: Indicates which side of panel is UV-protected. Remove ‘after’ panel is installed.
- Edge Sealing Tape: Should not be exposed to the elements. Cover with a U-channel.
- U-Channels: Drill weep holes in bottom of channel to ensure proper moisture drainage.
- H-Channels: Leave a ‘gap’ between panel and H-channel to allow for expansion and contraction.
- Sealants: Only use a 100% silicone sealant. Check label to ensure product compatibility.
- Cutting Panels: Use a fine-tooth blade with at least 10-teeth per inch for a smooth cut.
- Drilling Panels: Pre-drill screw holes to allow for panel expansion and contraction.
- Fastening Panels: Screw in straight and do not over-tighten—may cause panel to buckle.
