Jietai hollow polycarbonate sheets provided the ideal roofing solution for this school sports stadium grandstand, delivering lightweight, cost-effective spectator protection that maintains the open-air stadium atmosphere essential for sporting events.
Project Overview
A secondary school needed to install a roof over their existing grandstand to protect students and visitors from harsh sun and sudden rain during outdoor sporting events and ceremonies. The roof design had to be lightweight to avoid expensive foundation reinforcement, translucent to maintain natural daylight, and durable enough to withstand strong seasonal winds.
The Challenge
The grandstand spans over 800 seats across a wide area, requiring extensive roof coverage. The school operated on a limited budget, ruling out expensive glass or metal panel options. The structure needed to be installed during summer break to avoid disrupting school activities. Additionally, the roof had to meet local building codes for wind load resistance in a typhoon-prone region.
Our Solution
Jietai hollow polycarbonate sheets in 10mm thickness were chosen for their excellent strength-to-weight ratio — providing structural integrity at just one-third the weight of glass. The multiwall construction offers superior thermal insulation while transmitting 65% natural daylight. The lightweight nature of PC panels allowed the use of a simpler steel frame, reducing overall project costs by approximately 40% compared to alternative materials.
Results
- Complete spectator protection from sun, rain, and wind
- 40% cost savings compared to glass or metal roofing alternatives
- Natural daylight illumination eliminates daytime lighting costs
- Lightweight structure installed within 3-week summer break
- Withstood multiple typhoon events without any panel damage
- Positive feedback from students, parents, and school administration
