polycarbonate Mounting: instructions for the use of modern polycarbonate

cellular and solid polycarbonate for fixing

Monolithic polycarbonate - a dense, semi-solid layer, similar to glass.It is used as a glass in public areas and gathering places - hospitals, schools, sports facilities.Most often it is used for equipment trade pavilions.

Cell - a hollow reservoir, the content of which is represented by multi-layered components with solid edges.It is used in agricultural and auxiliary buildings.They covered garden plots, greenhouses, greenhouse, flower greenhouses.

polycarbonate Fixing his technique depends on the purpose of use of the structure, scale and scope of the installation.

Technique fixing solid polycarbonate Solid polycarbonate

in appearance and structure similar to glass.His mount repeats glass mounting technique - using special installation frame, which is invested in the polycarbonate sheets, or apply some fixing-clamps that hold the layers of material.

There are two types of mounting:

2. Wet Dry

Wet mount includes a set of actions: on the edges of the frame and the perimeter of the installation of the polycarbonate sheet is applied to the polymer cement, and then the sheet is embedded in the frame.The joints are filled with hermetic means (composed of silicone).An alternative sealant called rubber backing or profiled base.

Dry mounting takes place solely on the basis of mechanical intervention.Use profiles with the addition of rubber pads, profiled insulation.With these materials polycarbonate layers are attached to the threaded screws.

important to note!Two mentioned fastening method must have gaps or openings for the heat to increase the structure of polycarbonate.

Monolithic polycarbonate fully fulfills its protective function of the roof in greenhouses, greenhouses, vegetable greenhouses.Its installation is vertical and on the horizontal ground level.It fits through standard bolts, screws, washers polycarbonate, nuts using a rubber seal.Distance Mount - 50 centimeters.From the end of sheets you need to step back 2 centimeters.Holes for screwing fastening materials doing a electric drill or a drill, making sure the temperature of the sheet.Polycarbonate layers are mounted on pre-prepared skeleton profile.Strengthen should not be too tight.

The mount polycarbonate?

most acceptable method of securing polycarbonate - point.His feature - the use of screws with thermowasher providing waterproofing fastening, the absence of cold broaches and damage sheet.Thermowasher in its composition has:

1. legs
2. sealing cap
3. puck

leg consists of a plastic base and has a thickness of the polycarbonate sheet.Is screwed into the hole of the sheet of 0.2 cm diameter larger goals.Mounted at a distance of 40 centimeters.Do not too tight mount, contributing to wrinkling of the sheet of polycarbonate.Shaybovy screw screwed into 4 cm on the sheet edge.When docking polycarbonate layers their attachment occurs construction joint profile, is used when installing the panels.Profiles are divided into:

- split

- unsplit

addition to connecting profiles distinguish profiles mounting panel installations in places strain framing boards.They secure the wall-attached profile.Corner locations require finishing angular profiled plates.The ridge of the roof ridge profile is fastened, having the ability to be mounted at an angle corresponding to the structure of the roof and its slope.

more tips on mounting

polycarbonate Polycarbonate is sensitive to changes in precipitation and temperature.To avoid deformation of the polycarbonate is required to leave openings in the thermal areas of contact sheets with other details of the structure.Smallest aperture is 0.35 centimeters per meter length of the sheet.

on cellular polycarbonate is drilling holes in the heart walls marking and used thermowashers sheet thickness in the 0.4-1 cm. When this indicator over the interlayer thermowashers not apply.
