Thanks to the various properties of multi-wall PC sheets, it is possible to maximize the benefits of natural resources such as solar lighting and solar irradiation, resulting in lower conditioning and heating costs, with advantages in terms of interior comfort, air recirculation and elimination of the greenhouse effect. Additionally, all polycarbonate products are 100% recyclable and a minimal amount of energy is sufficient to achieve low melting temperatures for both production and recycling. The analysis of the energy balance, carried out in accordance with the EN 12831 standard, highlights the higher fuel requirements necessary to heat an industrial building with glass windows compared to the same building with translucent multi-wall PC inserts. Our products allow buildings to be built in compliance with with the latest thermal insulation and energy saving regulations.

The multi-wall internal structure, characterized by multiple air chambers, offers real advantages in relation to the thermal insulation of the building. The best thermal performance can be achieved using special systems such as arcoWall® and DoubleConnector®, which have been designed to be installed in the coldest areas such as Russia, Sweden and Iceland. Furthermore, windows and facades made with multi-wall structures, thanks to multiple reflection phenomena, provide special shielding performance against solar radiation.

Being lighter than glass, translucent systems allow the creation of
large building surfaces, both translucent and opaque, greatly reducing
installation costs both in terms of ease of handling and load-bearing
structure. In addition, the performance of the resistance is always
guaranteed both for the pressure and depression values required
by current regulations.

The most common feature of translucent systems is their transparency! By making building surfaces translucent, it is possible to maximize the benefit of natural lighting, thus reducing artificial light sources and thus obtaining high visual and thermal comfort. Additionally, polycarbonate sheets can be colored to further help complete light management. Furthermore, thanks to the Caleido project, colored pigmentation makes it possible to satisfy the most particular architectural solutions.

Translucent systems are used in both the industrial and construction fields, interior and exterior installations, such as translucent roofs, skylights, windows, pedestrian tunnels, canopies, facades, building envelopes… ranging from simple DIY work to Urban the reclassification of improvements or the creation of contemporary design projects. Continuous research in technological innovation has allowed us to create a complete range of steel and aluminum accessories, constantly updated, to guarantee easy and safe installation systems, in accordance with the laws and regulations of reaction to fire, resistance to load and safety. of the building.

Using co-extrusion technology, the outer side of the panel is produced with a special material characterized by a high concentration of UV absorbers. This peculiarity gives the product high resistance to chromatic variations, hail and accidental knocks, even after long exposure to the sun. This ensures a long lifespan, reduces the effects of weather damage and delays the natural aging of the PC. In addition, several treatments have been developed to further improve the management of solar radiation from the point of view of the durability of the plate (UV tech treatment) and to eliminate the negative consequences of radiation for indoor environments (IR or Reflecto) with the consequent reduction in air conditioning costs.

A peculiarity of translucent systems is the high resilience that gives the products high resistance to accidental knocks and the impact of hail. At the same time, they respond to safety regulations regarding translucent surfaces in public and work environments. Strength combined with flexibility make PC panels extremely versatile and easy to install.
