Description
Fluted polycarbonate, also known as twinwall or multiwall polycarbonate, is a lightweight, translucent sheet with internal fluted channels that provide excellent rigidity, insulation, and impact resistance. It is commonly used in roofing, glazing, and greenhouse applications where strength, light transmission, and weather resistance are essential. Compared to solid polycarbonate, fluted sheets offer better thermal insulation while remaining easy to cut and install.
