Fitting & Usage

Fitting Solid Polycarbonate Sheets Overview

We provide the following summary to help you assess suitability, whilst addressing common questions. For detailed information about properties, performance, forming and installation, please refer to the PALSUN Technical Guide.

Mounting the Sheets

Solid polycarbonate sheets can be mounted in most frame material, including wood, rigid PVC, and metals, such as aluminium. We recommend securing the sheets with gaskets of neoprene or EPDM rubber, rather than screw-fixing. Butyl rubber sealing strips, and suitable neutral cure silicone sealant may also be used.
Sheets are supplied with a polyurethane masking that protects the sheets during storage, handling, and installation. This masking should be peeled back from the edges during fitting, and must be removed within 24 hours of installation.

Sawing and Cutting

For best results, use a table-mounted or circular saw. A jigsaw or saber saw can be used, but usually results in an inferior finish. Sanding and polishing may be necessary for exposed edges.

Drilling the Sheets

For holes up to 12mm, a new regular high-speed steel twist, or carbide-tipped, drill bit is recommended. Larger holes (up to 20mm) should be drilled using a flat, chisel-edged drill blade with triangular cutting tip. Commercially available cutting cup or circle cutters can be used for over 20mm round apertures.
Holes should be located at least 2 to 2.5 times the diameter of the hole from the sheet edge, with a minimum distance of 10mm.
It is imperative to keep the sheet firmly clamped to avoid fluttering during drilling.
When using a mechanical fixing through the sheet, drill holes 2-3mm wider that the fixing, to allow for thermal expansion.

Cleaning the Sheets

Keeping your sheets looking great and performing well requires just an occasional clean using a soft sponge or cotton cloth, with lukewarm water and a mild dish washing liquid. Once cleaned, a rinse with cold water and a dry soft cotton cloth will reduce water spotting.
Approved cleaning agents can be used for stubborn markings, details can be found within PALRAM's technical documentation.

Delivery

SHIPPING

We endeavour to despatch most orders placed within 1 working day, where possible we will despatch orders on the same working day if payment is received before 1.00pm. Accurate despatch times can be found on individual product pages.

Most orders (those being stock items below 1.2m in length) will be despatched same day when ordered before 1pm, and received the following delivery day. We deliver items of that size from Monday to Saturday. Stock items over 1.2m are sent using a two-day carrier, who do not deliver on a weekend.

Due to the size and nature of some bespoke, and non-stock products, we offer restricted delivery options. Delivery options can be selected at the checkout page before payment Is made.
