High Performance 16mm Polycarbonate Sheet Identity
The Arla multiwall polycarbonate sheet 16 mm is a high-performance glazing material designed for demanding greenhouse environments. It features a robust 2500 g/m² construction with integrated UV protection on one side. This product is available in either 5X or 6Wall channel structures to ensure structural integrity. It is engineered to provide excellent thermal efficiency for year-round horticultural applications.
Solving Heat Loss in Greenhouses
Greenhouses often struggle to maintain consistent temperatures during early spring and late autumn, leading to stunted plant growth. Standard glazing materials frequently fail to provide the necessary thermal barrier against cold external conditions.
Our 16 mm multiwall polycarbonate sheet solves this by offering a high-insulation barrier that traps heat effectively. This allows growers to extend their cultivation season significantly while protecting plants from harmful UV radiation and temperature fluctuations.

Furthermore, the material is suitable for industrial glass roofs and various superstructures that demand long-lasting durability.
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.
- Standard Width The standard sheet width is 2.1 m. If a sheet is cut down to 1.05 m, one edge will remain open due to the internal channel structure.
- 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.
