Product Information

Full details

The SunPlex High Impact Corrugated Roofing Sheet is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a durable, light-transmitting cover for carports, sheds, and pergolas. It provides exceptional impact resistance compared to standard PVC materials, effectively shielding outdoor areas from harsh weather while maintaining long-term clarity. While the polycarbonate material is highly robust, users should note that the 800mm width requires careful planning to ensure proper overlap and support spacing for structural integrity.

FAQs

Can I cut SunPlex sheets to size?

Yes, these sheets can be cut easily using a fine-toothed hand saw or an angle grinder with a suitable cutting disc.

Which side faces the sun?

The sheet has a specific side treated with UV protection. Always ensure the side labeled 'UV Protected' faces upward.

Are these sheets suitable for a greenhouse?

Yes, their high light transmission and durability make them an excellent choice for greenhouse roofing.

What is the recommended slope for installation?

A minimum pitch of 5 to 10 degrees is recommended to ensure effective water runoff.

How should I fasten the sheets?

Use compatible corrugated roofing screws that come with EPDM washers to seal the drill hole and prevent leaks.

Do these sheets yellow over time?

The integrated UV protection is designed to prevent yellowing for many years, provided the sheet is installed with the correct side facing the sun.

Troubleshooting

Water leaking at the joints

Ensure the side-lap overlap covers at least one full corrugation and check that roofing screws are properly tightened with the EPDM washer compressed but not deformed.

Sheet is bowing between supports

Check that your support battens are spaced according to local load-bearing requirements and ensure the sheet is not being forced into an improper curve.

Surface appearing dull or dirty

Clean the surface with mild soap and water; avoid solvent-based cleaners that can permanently damage the UV-resistant coating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly stronger than traditional PVC roofing
  • Excellent light transmission for bright outdoor spaces
  • UV-stabilized to prevent sun-induced yellowing
  • Lightweight and simple to handle for single-person installations
  • Corrugated design provides inherent structural strength

Cons

  • Requires specific fasteners to maintain the weather seal
  • Standardized 800mm width may require custom cutting for specific roof dimensions
  • More expensive than basic PVC roofing options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard roofing tools, including a drill with proper bits and specialized roofing screws with EPDM washers to create a watertight seal. Ensure the sheets are oriented with the UV-protected side facing upwards toward the sun; check the manufacturer label if unsure. When overlapping sheets, ensure you cover at least one full corrugation to prevent lateral water leakage.

For cleaning, avoid abrasive brushes or harsh chemical solvents that could scratch the polycarbonate surface. Use a soft cloth, mild soapy water, and a low-pressure hose to remove dirt and dust. Regularly check the fasteners during the first year of use, as thermal expansion and contraction may require minor tightening.
