Premium Opal Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheet Identity
The Arla Multiclear 5X multiwall polycarbonate 16 mm sheet is a high-performance glazing material featuring a durable opal finish. It is engineered with a mass of 2500 g/m² to provide significant impact resistance and thermal efficiency. This UV-protected sheet is designed for custom-cut applications requiring light diffusion and heat management.
Solving Glare and Thermal Heat Loss
Standard clear glazing often creates harsh glare and excessive heat buildup in covered spaces. This can lead to uncomfortable environments for people and potential heat stress for sensitive plants in greenhouses.
Our 16 mm opal polycarbonate solves this by diffusing incoming sunlight into a soft, even glow while maintaining a low U-value of 1.9 W/m²*K. This provides effective thermal insulation and shade, ensuring a comfortable, protected space year-round.

The material integrates seamlessly into custom greenhouse frames designed for high-insulation requirements.
Important information
- 15-Year Warranty Includes a 15-year warranty against yellowing, ensuring high light transmission throughout this period.
- Color Variations Color shades of multiwall sheets can vary by up to 8% between different production batches. We recommend ordering all sheets for a single project at the same time to ensure a consistent color.
- 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.
