Designed for cold climate cultivation
If you want to extend your growing season from early spring to late autumn, this sheet is an excellent choice. Its thermal properties help maintain a stable, warm temperature inside your greenhouse even when the cold sets in.
The clear finish allows plenty of daylight for your crops while softening the sun’s rays to prevent overheating. It is a reliable, durable option for house-type greenhouses in challenging weather conditions.
Installation and compatibility
These custom-cut panels are ideal for insulated terrace roofs, walkways, and industrial glass structures. We recommend protecting the ends of the sheet channels with sealing tapes to ensure the best performance. If you are looking for a different thickness, you can also view our 10 mm clear sheet for lighter applications.
Important information
- 10-Year Warranty Covers discoloration caused by weather, as well as loss of impact resistance and light transmission.
- Cutting Tolerance The maximum allowable cutting deviation on the edges is 4 mm.
- Internal Structure The internal design (channels shape) of the sheets may vary based on stock levels, but the technical specs are identical. We never mix different structures in the same order to ensure a uniform look.

- UV Protection & Installation Polycarbonate sheets must be installed with the UV-protected side facing up (facing the outside) for the protection to work. The UV side is clearly marked on the protective film.
- Handle with Care Handle the sheets carefully to prevent scratches and damage.
- Storage Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Use cases and compatibility
This thickness is the perfect choice for house-type greenhouses in very cold regions where maintaining a stable, warm internal temperature is essential for year-round plant growth.
If your primary goal is maximum light transmission rather than thermal insulation, consider selecting a thinner 10 mm polycarbonate sheet to allow more natural daylight into your structure.
The 16 mm thickness provides excellent impact resistance, making it suitable for projects requiring high energy efficiency. Always ensure you protect the open sheet channels with sealing tape.
