Polycarbonate roofs are widely used in both residential and commercial buildings due to their durability, resistance to wind and hail, and excellent light transmission properties. Over time, these roofs can become damaged or worn out, therefore requiring replacement.
Reasons for Polycarbonate Roof Replacement
Polycarbonate roofs are prone to several types of damage due to exposure to the elements over the years. UV rays, extreme weather conditions, and physical impacts such as hail or foot traffic can damage the material. This leads to issues such as yellowing, brittleness, cracks and reduced light transmission. A damaged polycarbonate roof will compromise the roof's ability to protect the building, making replacement necessary. Additionally, polycarbonate sheets may lose their insulating properties, leading to increased energy costs.
Common reasons for replacing polycarbonate roofs include:
-
UV Degradation: Exposure to sunlight over time can cause the polycarbonate to become discolored and brittle.
-
Physical Damage: Impact from hail, fallen branches or debris can cause cracks or holes in the material.
-
Wear and Tear: Long-term exposure to weather can affect the roof’s integrity, causing leaks or loss of heat insulation.
-
Aesthetic Issues: Yellowing or clouding of the polycarbonate sheets can negatively impact the appearance of a building, prompting replacement.
Benefits of Polycarbonate Roofs
Polycarbonate roofs are known for their transparency, allowing natural light to enter the area while protecting from harmful UV rays. This can help reduce the need for artificial lighting and contribute to energy savings. Polycarbonate is also lightweight yet strong, making it easier to handle and install compared to other roofing materials like metal.
Other benefits include:
-
Energy Efficiency: Polycarbonate roofs can help regulate temperature by offering both insulation and sunlight diffusion, leading to lower heating and cooling costs.
-
Durability: Polycarbonate material is resistant to impacts, extreme temperatures and other environmental factors.
-
Design Flexibility: Available in a variety of thicknesses and colors, polycarbonate roofing can be customized to fit different architectural styles.
