All you poly carbonate lovers out there – it looks beautiful and stunning when new with its sharp and bright color looking great as a roof for parking, prayer shacks, over pass, or canopies, but it gets ugly and breaks and even falls apart over time in just about 3-5 years – depending on weather conditions…
The most popular color is blue or transparent white and it is used mostly for canopies and parking sheds as it is light and makes less sound during rains, but its no match against the extreme power of the sun that breaks and consumes just about most things plastic. Let’s face it, poly carbonate is plastic based that’s why its less noisy when it rains compared to metal roofing, yet its more costly per sheet.
Builders and building owners usually prefer poly carbonate over metal roofing due to its beauty thus it was very popular 5-7 years ago, while not that everyone has seen its nasty side when it breaks and falls apart over time…
Another major attraction of the poly carbonate roofing is that it enables light to come through thus saving you some money on lighting costs…
Its popularity is steadily declining now. We hope its price decline would continue in the coming days so more people could use it and enjoy its beauty but just keep in mind that if ever it gets cheaper, it might still come out as expensive in the long run as you will have to replace it in 3-5 years depending on how hot the sun gets in your area… We’ll sometimes we don’t mind replacing it in 3-5 years as long as we can enjoy its beauty today…
