Vertical Translucent Glazing with Multiwall
Polycarbonate Systems
Learning Objectives
1. What is polycarbonate: How it is produced and what it is made of.
2. Characteristics and performance: Strength, Light transmittance, thermal
resistance and other high performing features.
3. Daylighting and Sustainability: Advantages of natural light and the
sustainable nature of multiwall polycarbonate.
4. Vertical Tongue and Grove Systems: Freedom of design with increased
light and thermal performance.
5. Applications: Examples of multiwall use.

What is Polycarbonate?
•
•
•
•
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer – 100% Recyclable
Very strong, Impact strength 200 times that of glass
Multiwall is extruded into light weight panels
High light transmittance and low U-Values
4
What is Polycarbonate
Extrusion Technology
•
•
•
•
•
Screw drives push material through
metal dies
Hoppers at start of machine combine
polycarbonate, additives and recycled
material
Polycarbonate is melted by heaters
and friction of system
Different dies produce different
product profiles
UV protection is added by co-extrusion
or coatings
5
What is Polycarbonate?
Some typical flat sheet designs
Multiple layers and thickness
Some more specialized panels may include a
standing seam or tongue and groove design

• Standard Colors: Clear, opal, bronze
• Custom colors available, panels can be

Acrylic vs Polycarbonate
9
Flame Retardant
• Class A: ASTM E 84 Flame spread and smoke density development for
interior surface material: Class A, Flame spread 25 or less and smoke
Density developed rating of 450 or less
• Class CC1: ASTM D635 Burn extent for plastic materials: Class CC1, Burn
extent of 1” or less
• Class A and CC1 can be achieved with wide variety of sizes and profiles.
10
Impact Resistance
• Hail Resistant: Can withstand a .79” Ball impact at greater than 69 ft/s
(terminal velocity of hail)
11
Lightweight
40mm Tongue and Grove Polycarbonate = .82 lbs./sf
1” Insulated Glass Unit = 6.5 lbs./sf
2.75” Fiberglass Reinforce Plastic = 2 lbs/sf

UV protection provided by co-extrusion
or coatings
Can be applied to one or both sides
Standard test ASTM D1003
Verified through weathering
acceleration test and long-term case
studies
No maintenance needed for Warranties

Improved Productivity
According to studies done by the Heschong
Mahone Group of California, diffused
daylighting increased retail sales up to 40%
for one major retailer. For another,
daylighting achieved profits 19 times more
than energy savings.

Human Health
Human Heath and Natural Light
• Circadian system
• Sleep / wake cycle
• Circadian rhythm
• Natural light varies in intensity throughout day
• Changes effect sleep patterns, metabolism,
immune system
• Natural light only proven system
19
Reduced Energy Consumption
Cost
• Rule of thumb: Each kWh of electricity used
for commercial lighting adds .5 kWh of
electricity needed for cooling - daylighting
saves both lighting and cooling loads

Daylighting and Sustainability: LEED and Energy Codes.
LEED
• Recycled content – Up to 30% pre consumer
• Increased thermal performance
• Daylighting
• 100% recyclable
Energy Efficient Codes
• Improved thermal performance and light transmittance
• Less openings provide increased light

•
•
•
Thick multiwall panels, up to 50mm
Panels installed into simple aluminum
profiles
Panels can connect to themselves
reducing intermediate profiles.
