Project Overview
This project features the successful application of Jitai polycarbonate (PC) sheets in an eco-restaurant and greenhouse complex. The client required a roofing solution that combines natural lighting with thermal insulation, creating a comfortable environment for both diners and plant growth.
After careful evaluation, Jitai multi-wall PC polycarbonate sheets were selected for their excellent light transmission (up to 82%), superior thermal insulation (U-value as low as 2.3 W/m²K), and high impact resistance (250 times that of glass). These properties make PC sheets the ideal choice for eco-restaurant and greenhouse applications.
Key Requirements
- Excellent natural light transmission for plant photosynthesis
- Thermal insulation to maintain stable indoor temperature year-round
- UV protection to prevent harmful radiation
- Structural strength to withstand wind and snow loads
- Aesthetic appearance matching the eco-friendly design concept
Solution
Jitai provided custom-cut multi-wall polycarbonate sheets with UV-resistant coating. The sheets were installed in a curved arch structure, maximizing natural light intake while providing excellent thermal insulation. The lightweight nature of PC sheets (only 1/12 the weight of glass) significantly reduced the steel frame requirements, lowering overall construction costs.
Installation Highlights
- 8mm and 10mm multi-wall PC sheets used for main roofing areas
- UV protection layer facing outward for long-term weather resistance
- Aluminum frame with EPDM gaskets for water-tight sealing
- Ventilation ridges incorporated for air circulation
Project Results
The eco-restaurant now enjoys a bright, comfortable dining environment with natural lighting throughout the day. The greenhouse section maintains optimal growing conditions for various plants, with significantly reduced heating costs in winter. The client reported a 40% reduction in energy costs compared to traditional glass greenhouses, along with improved plant growth rates due to better light diffusion properties of the multi-wall PC sheets.
