Real-World Applications of PC Polycarbonate Sheets
Polycarbonate (PC) sheets have become one of the most versatile building materials in modern construction. From large-scale agricultural greenhouses to industrial safety barriers, Jietai PC sheets have been trusted by contractors and builders across China for their durability, light transmission, and cost-effectiveness. Below are four representative project cases showcasing the diverse applications of our polycarbonate sheet products.
1. Large-Scale Agricultural Greenhouse – 30,000 sqm Flower Market, South Fourth Ring Road, Beijing
Project Overview: One of Beijing’s largest flower markets required a massive 30,000-square-meter greenhouse structure. The client needed a roofing material that offered excellent light diffusion (to prevent plant scorching), high impact resistance (to withstand hail and heavy snow), and thermal insulation to reduce heating costs during winter.
Solution Provided: Jietai multiwall PC hollow sheets (阳光板) in 10mm and 16mm thicknesses were selected for the roofing and side walls. The multiwall structure provides superior insulation while allowing 60-80% light transmission — ideal for plant growth. The sheets were UV-protected on both sides to prevent yellowing and extend service life beyond 10 years.
Results:
- 30% reduction in winter heating costs compared to traditional glass greenhouses
- Zero breakage during two severe hailstorms in 2023
- Consistent plant growth due to even light diffusion
- Total project completed in 45 days
2. Public Bicycle Shed – Municipal Bike Parking Facility
Project Overview: A municipal government required durable, weather-resistant roofing for a public bicycle parking facility. The structure needed to provide reliable protection from rain, snow, and UV exposure while maintaining an open, airy feel. Budget constraints meant the solution had to be cost-effective without compromising on quality.
Solution Provided: Jietai PC hollow sheets in 6mm thickness were installed as the roof panels. The lightweight nature of the material (only 1.2 kg/m² for 6mm sheets) reduced the need for heavy support structures, cutting overall installation costs. The clear sheets maintained visibility while providing full weather protection.
Results:
- 50% lighter than equivalent glass or metal roofing — simpler support structure
- Impact resistance 200x stronger than glass — vandal-proof
- UV protection layer prevents yellowing for 10+ years
- Cost savings of approximately 35% compared to polycarbonate sheet alternatives
3. Residential Carport – Private Vehicle Protection
Project Overview: A homeowner in a coastal region needed a carport that could withstand strong winds, salt spray corrosion, and intense summer sun. The carport also needed to complement the modern architectural style of the house while providing adequate shade and protection for two vehicles.
Solution Provided: Lake blue PC hollow sheets in 6mm thickness were chosen for their combination of aesthetic appeal and functional performance. The blue tint reduces heat buildup under the carport while the multiwall structure provides structural rigidity. The sheets were installed with aluminum alloy framing for corrosion resistance.
Results:
- Effective UV protection — interior temperature reduced by 8-12°C compared to open parking
- No corrosion or degradation after 3 years in coastal environment
- Attractive blue tint complements modern architecture
- Easy to clean — rain naturally washes away salt and dust
4. Industrial Safety Protection – Benxi Steel Group Facility
Project Overview: Benxi Steel Group, one of China’s largest steel manufacturers, required protective panels for their facility equipment and personnel safety barriers. The panels needed to be transparent for visibility, extremely impact-resistant for worker safety, and able to withstand harsh industrial environments including heat, dust, and chemical exposure.
Solution Provided: Jietai 4mm solid PC sheets (耐力板) were installed as protective barriers around critical equipment and along walkways. The solid sheet construction provides maximum impact resistance while maintaining transparency. The sheets were treated with an anti-scratch coating to resist abrasion from dust and debris.
Results:
- 250 times impact resistance of glass — significantly improved worker safety
- Continuous operation with zero panel failures over 2 years
- High transparency maintained — visibility not compromised by safety requirements
- Withstands temperatures from -40°C to 120°C without deformation
