Which is Better, Glass Or Polycarbonate, And Why?

Because of its durability, polycarbonate comes out on top if the question of which is better, glass or polycarbonate, arises whenever decisions on construction materials need to be made. Why is durability so important, and why does glass rate so poorly in the polycarbonate vs glass matchup? Glass is too fragile to withstand the fierce forces of nature that a building endures over the course of its life span. Unlike polycarbonate, glass is easily damaged by weather or other factors that affect the durability of a building material. Shattering glass in the event of weather damage has the potential to not only lead to structural problems but can also cause harm to the occupants of the building. Polycarbonate is the more dependable, economical, energy efficient building material and in this article, we will provide proof to convince you that it should be your choice.

Why Is Polycarbonate Stronger Than Glass?

There are several reasons why polycarbonate is stronger than glass. If you want to make a comparison of polycarbonate or glass, you’ll be interested to learn that polycarbonate, which is used in the making of bulletproof shields for police officers, is regarded as an almost unbreakable material. While few buildings are going to need to be bulletproof, there’s another foe that can inflict severe damage on a structure. Weather is the enemy of a building. If you pause to think of the instances of bad weather in the past year, everything from blizzards to downpours to hail to high winds will likely come to mind. At Danpal, we have more than half a century of weather insights under our belts and we know in order for a building to withstand the elements, it needs to be stronger than what nature inflicts upon it.

Why Is Polycarbonate Sheet Better Than Glass?

While we can attest with confidence to the ways in which glass is inferior to polycarbonate, we invite you to consider the different structures which would specifically be constructed out of polycarbonate or glass. Greenhouses are one of the most obvious examples. Polycarbonate’s superior thermal efficiency means that a greenhouse’s growing season can extend longer. Glass lacks insulation which prevents it from shielding plants from the cold. If the growing season is shorter, the heat will need to be run longer, which costs more money. The same goes for roofing system for commercial buildings.

Finding Out Which Is Better Glass or Polycarbonate

By now you’re probably asking yourself, “Is polycarbonate better than glass?” We’ve shown you why polycarbonate is stronger than glass. We’re going to expand upon that to demonstrate why polycarbonate is actually better, all around, than glass. Even if you’re not planning to build a greenhouse, you might be concerned about the kind of direct light that is going to be coming into your structure. Natural light is popular, but glare is not. Polycarbonate admits a softer light while traditional glass lets in the harsh lighting.

We’ve told you how polycarbonate is superior to glass in its ability to withstand the cold, harsh extremes of winter weather. You may not have known that polycarbonate is also superior when it comes to heat resistance. The properties of traditional glass don’t allow it to withstand high temperatures because it absorbs heat. Polycarbonate, on the other hand, can handle exposure to as much as 270 degree temperatures for several hours. Not only that, but it can actually withstand a sudden burst of extreme heat as high as 1166 degrees without breaking or distorting.

At Team Danpal, we can give you lots of reasons to choose polycarbonate when you’re debating the strengths of polycarbonate vs glass. Here’s one that will be the ultimate reason why you should go for polycarbonate. Glass, because it’s not as strong, is more likely to break and need replacing. Polycarbonate’s properties give it an impressive life span that lasts for a long time. That saves you money. Another way that polycarbonate can be a friend to your wallet? Its insulating properties stabilize thermal efficiency to shrink your building’s carbon footprint and save you money on utility costs.

At Danpal, our commitment to Global Vision, Local Focus, is our way of making sure that our clients get the best product for their money. Polycarbonate is stronger than glass, more energy efficient than glass, more durable than glass. So what do you think? Which is better, glass or polycarbonate?

Multiwall polycarbonate roofing sheets

 

If you look at a building from the vantage point of its roof, you’ll soon realize that if weather were a war, a building would be the frontline troops. That’s because the rain, snow, and hail that surge out of the sky on an inclement day strike the roof without any interruption in their progress to the ground far below.  Danpal knows that in order to stand up to this kind of punishment, a roof has to be strong.  The Centro Acuatico Estadio Nacional CAEN in Chile is an example of the way that a roof can be both strong in purpose and appealing in appearance. That’s why Danpal’s multiwall polycarbonate roofing sheets work like a medal of honor for a building’s protection against weather. Esthetics and strength come together to define a building that performs to the peak of its design without letting weather get the upper hand. 

Clear Multiwall Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets and Strength

Polycarbonate is available in two types, multiwall and solid.  Multiwall polycarbonate sheets are made of hollow air chambers; solid polycarbonate roofing sheets are a clear, flat sheeting. In both cases, polycarbonate is incredibly strong; it’s been hardened to the point where it’s 200 times stronger than glass, although it’s half the weight. With an ability to withstand elevated resistance levels, polycarbonate makes a roof much stronger. 

Multiwall Polycarbonate Roofing Sheet and Flexibility, a superior panel for your glazing

It’s easy to perceive the advantages of working with a glazing building material with superior strength that, at the same time, is light in weight.  Installing a roof with polycarbonate sheeting doesn’t have to be the inconvenient, time-consuming operation that it is with other roofing materials.  Multiwall polycarbonate roofing sheets take much less time to install. Time saved is money saved. In the end, everybody wins. 

Best Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets

In an interview, architect Oscar Torrejón described his satisfaction with the Danpal products used in the refurbishment of the Dominican Republic’s Studio Legal Terrero & Mejía. He said that the Danpal products he worked with “exceeded all expectations.” That level of praise is familiar to the Danpal team because, after over half a century in the industry, our reputation for quality is celebrated across the globe. It explains why we can offer the best polycarbonate roofing sheets, so that a building, right from the top, starts at the top!
But you don’t have to be an architect to be a confirmed pro-polycarbonate fan. Even a do-it-yourselfer can tackle a DIY project with confidence, thanks to the lightweight, durable, easily installed polycarbonate sheets.

DIY – Polycarbonate Roofing Systems

For many people, the COVID19 pandemic was a good opportunity to get some home repair projects done around the house. During that period when we couldn’t go anywhere anyway, many of us took the opportunity to get creative with a toolbox. Many of the do-it-yourself amateurs found out that they did a pretty good job, whether they were noticing places where the roof needed some repair, or they wanted a project to occupy their time and leave them with results that they could be proud of. What they found was that it was a lot easier to work with polycarbonate roofing sheets because they’re light in weight and easy to carry. Why lug around a heavy load when you have the option of going light and going better? That’s right, going better, because lightweight polycarbonate roof panels don’t sacrifice strength or durability. The projects moved along quickly because of the ease of installation. Injuries were reduced because the materials were easier to lift and move.

If your latest building project is a greenhouse or a conservatory, you might want to consider multiwall polycarbonate roof panels. Not only are they durable, but when combined with as many as seven layers, they can provide excellent insulation for the space beneath.

Solid polycarbonate sheets present another option for building designs that makes them ideal for greenhouses or balcony screens. Installation is safer than what traditional glass panels offer, and these shatterproof polycarbonate roofing systems deliver 200 times more impact resistance than double glazing can provide.

The Best Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets Make the Best Roofing System

Polycarbonate is a building material that automatically enhances the composition of whatever architectural aspect for which it’s used. Our polycarbonate sheets are made with microcell technology, which is celebrated for being the most advanced system used in daylight applications. As a pioneer in daylighting architecture, Danpal recognized the advantages of polycarbonate from the beginning. You want a roofing system that can withstand a range of weather conditions: Danpal polycarbonate roofing panels can do that. You want a roofing system that delivers the ideal balance between light and thermal dynamics: Danpal polycarbonate roofing sheets can do that.

You rely on your roof to shield your home or business from the outside elements. A polycarbonate roofing system does that and more. In addition to keeping you and your family warm and dry inside no matter what the weather is like outside, the polycarbonate roofing system has an added advantage: its esthetic qualities enhance your home’s appearance, adding to its value and appeal.

How the Polycarbonate Roof Panels Achieve Results And What Are The Advantages

Weather is a tough adversary. No matter where you live, there’s sure to be an element of weather that you find especially challenging. If it’s challenging for you, just think of what a building has to put up with from the outdoors! But Danpal products are tougher, and our polycarbonate roofing sheets are designed with a double-tooth, grip-lock connection for high resistance to powerful winds, heavy snow, and hail. Flexibility is also a trait of our advantages of polycarbonate roofing sheets, which have snap-on, dry-glazed connectors. In order to provide a long life for the roofing system, the Danpalon® panels have a co-extruded UV protection.

Factor in the high-impact resistance with low-scratch resistance and it’s obvious why polycarbonate roofing sheets are the building material of choice for architects. It’s a material that’s easy to make, cut, and mold, and there’s nothing a builder likes better than working with a product that enhances the efficiency of the project. Polycarbonate can be processed and shaped at room temperature because its glass transition temperature of 147 degrees (C) allows it to soften gradually when the temperature increases. Significant plastic deformations won’t make polycarbonate crack or break. In prototyping applications needing transparent or electrically non-conductive components, polycarbonate sheets beat sheet metal, which lacks this versatility.

Here’s another added bonus in using polycarbonate materials that you might not have thought of. Because polycarbonate roofing panels are lighter in weight, they are easier to transport, which means that carbon emissions are lower during transit. Maybe you never thought of roof repair as the smart ecological choice, but if you have a polycarbonate roof panels, you’re already making sound environmental decisions.

Polycarbonate Sheets Can Handle Extreme Weather

Some choices are easy when it comes to building materials. You are looking for materials that are strong, durable, and functional. Esthetic choices are not quite so cut-and-dried, but nevertheless, you want something that’s attractive.

It’s obvious that strength needs to be a component of building material because the structure has to be able to withstand the relentless power of the natural elements. Polycarbonate sheets offer you the variety of options that provides strength, durability, and functionality, with a choice of multiwall or solid format. You’ll get the appearance that you want without sacrificing any quality of performance.

ADVANTAGES OF POLYCARBONATE SHEETS

Polycarbonate’s versatility allows it to offer the appearance of glass for those who are seeking a specific look but want something stronger. Polycarbonate has been hardened so that it’s 200 times stronger than glass, making it capable of withstanding elevated resistance levels.

Yet it’s only half the weight of glass. If you want a building material that looks like glass, solid polycarbonate sheets are a clear, flat sheeting that will oblige. Or, you can choose the multiwall polycarbonate sheets, which are made out of hollow air chambers. Both are equally impressive in strength.

Another plus for using polycarbonate sheets is their flexibility. Even though polycarbonate is so strong, it’s easy to work with and that makes installation fast and simple. There’s little disruption and the ease of the process is a time-saver and a money saver. If you want more evidence of how flexible polycarbonate is, you’ll be impressed to learn that it’s used to make security screens, windshields, farming machinery, and the guard materials in machinery parts.

Polycarbonate Sheets WHY POLYCARBONATE SHEETS ARE THE BETTER CHOICE AGAINST WEATHER

It makes sense that our research and development innovators would work to create a tough, resilient building material that’s strong enough for today’s climate. We’ve all seen the way in which our weather patterns have dramatically changed.

While it was not unusual in the past to have an occasional hotter-than-usual summer, we’ve arrived at a time when record-breaking heat seems to be an annual occurrence. Previous years have seen devastating hurricanes, but now they seem to strike with alarming regularity, wreaking havoc and costing billions as communities seek to repair the damage.

We’re warned in advance that a powerful winter storm is on the way, crossing miles of land and leaving downed power lines and stranded cars in its wake as residents shovel their way out of the snowfall.

As extreme weather becomes the unwelcome guest in our lives, we rely upon our buildings to keep us safe, dry, and comfortable. That’s one of the numerous ways in which polycarbonate rises above the other products. Its strength and flexibility make it the barrier against the weather.

Danpal has taken our commitment to protect buildings from weather a step further with our Ventilated Raincreen System, which is made with polycarbonate. Even when wet weather is raging outside, insulation inside remains dry.

Weather isn’t going to go away. Polycarbonate sheets are here to provide us with a defense against those times when Mother Nature seems to be on the warpath.

Polycarbonate sheets: strong enought for today’s extreme weather

Doesn’t it seem as though, every time we turn on the news, we’re hearing about a new threat from the weather? If it’s not violent storms that subject an area to torrential downpours, it’s a terrible snowfall that has the power to paralyze a region. Sometimes it feels as though we’re entirely powerless against the fury of weather. Fortunately, Danpal has designed and manufactured products that can stand up to weather at its wildest. Our status as a leader in the building industry is a result of the emphasis that we place upon innovation, research, and development in creating materials that are stronger than weather. Polycarbonate sheets are one of those remarkable products that can reinforce a building with the stamina it needs to withstand the elements.

POLYCARBONATE SHEETS KEEP INSULATION DRY

POLYCARBONATE SHEETSThe Danpal Ventilated Rain System (VRS), which uses polycarbonate sheets, is one of the most effective ways to keep insulation dry so that moisture doesn’t weaken the building’s ability to use energy efficiently. VRS is designed with an air gap that provides natural ventilation. Insulation stays dry, the building stays moisture-free, and polycarbonate sheets defend the structure against weather.

Keeping insulation dry is one of the most important ways to protect a building. Damp moisture can lead to problems that begin with leaks and a loss of energy and can turn into structural stress and, ultimately, the possibility of building collapse. The damage isn’t merely confined to the building. Damp insulation creates an atmosphere in which mold thrives and once mold has found a home, it doesn’t want to leave. It leads to health problems for the occupants of a building, and if there’s someone who has asthma or allergies, they’ll feel the effects of mold very quickly. Damp insulation also leads to financial issues because you’re paying for energy that you aren’t using. It’s escaping outside and that’s bad for the environment. Dry insulation is the formula for a healthy building and healthy people.

POLYCARBONATE SHEETS: TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO DELIVER ONE PHENOMENAL PRODUCT

Polycarbonate always delivers when it comes to strength and flexibility, but it also offers you a choice. Multiwall polycarbonate is a structured sheet with hollow air chambers. Solid polycarbonate, which is a clear, flat sheeting, resembles glass in appearance. Polycarbonate sheets are actually half as heavy as glass, but 200 times stronger. So if you want to use a product that looks like glass but doesn’t have its weaknesses, solid polycarbonate sheets are the choice for you.

POLYCARBONATE SHEETS, STRONG AND FLEXIBLE

Danpal’s years of expertise in research of development have put the company in the forefront of innovation. That’s how a product like polycarbonate came into existence. Imagine a product that’s virtually unbreakable, and yet so flexible that it bends. The larger the size of the polycarbonate sheet, the greater the radius of the bend. Polycarbonate is used to make windshields, security screens, moving machinery parts, and farm machinery. A larger polycarbonate sheet is ideal if you have an arching roof. Polycarbonate sheets are lightweight and easy to install, so you can understand why they’re the popular choice for architects.

Polycarbonate Sheets: Today’s Building Material Choice For Strength and Flexibility

Fifty years as leaders in the building industry with polycarbonate sheets systems have provided Danpal with a reputation for innovation and expertise. We operate on five continents so, in addition to our decades of experience, we have a global presence that enhances our ability to live up to our motto, Global Vision, Local Focus.

Our reputation as leaders in the manufacturing of building materials has been solidified by our commitment to cutting-edge products that meet customer expectations.

Not all companies have been able to keep up the pace of change that has resulted from technological advances, and not all of the products that were once popular in the industry have been able to maintain their edge. Polycarbonate sheets are one of the new products on the market; they are so strong, flexible and attractive that they are replacing more traditional building materials such as glass.

Polycarbonate Sheets Don’t Surrender To Weather

No matter what weather pattern we’re in, we can be sure that weather will continue to be a force with which to be reckoned. Snow, rain, wind, and hail haven’t changed. Fortunately, technology and efficiency have changed. Polycarbonate panels, which are available in two different forms, are part of the technological innovation that is redefining how buildings are designed and built. You may choose multiwall polycarbonate panels, which is a structured sheet with hollow air chambers, or solid polycarbonate, which is a clear, flat sheeting that resembles glass in looks but is much stronger and lighter.

polycarbonate sheetsPolycarbonate Sheets Are Flexible

If a product is lightweight and easy to work with, as polycarbonate plastic sheets are, it’s going to be popular with architects and clients. That’s because installation is going to be smoother as well, causing less disruption for the client and the workplace. When time is saved, money is saved. The flexibility of polycarbonate sheets has already won over clients who manufacture farming machinery, windshields, security screens, and moving machinery parts. Polycarbonate sheets actually bend, making them so much more versatile than glass. If you have an arching roof, a larger polycarbonate sheet is particularly well suited. The larger the size of the sheet, the greater is the bend’s radius. Read all about the advantages of polycarbonate roofing sheets.

Polycarbonate is hardened so that its strength is 200 times that of glass but only half as heavy. And yet, polycarbonate sheets are virtually unbreakable. It’s plain to see why architects choose polycarbonate sheets to work with.

The Danpal Ventilated Rain System (VRS) Uses Polycarbonate Panels

Danpal’s Ventilated Rain System’s polycarbonate sheets keep insulation dry thanks to the air gap that provides natural ventilation. Keeping insulation dry is a vital consideration in the life span of a building because once insulation is compromised, so is the building, even if problems don’t show up immediately.

By using clear polycarbonate sheets or any other polycarbonate sheet color, you’re giving your building all the protection that it needs in order to be able to fight off weather and prevent moisture from penetrating. You’re benefitting as well, because polycarbonate is one of the most popular materials in the industry.

Polycarbonate standing seam panelsNothing Beats Polycarbonate Standing Seam Panels

After polycarbonate arrived, other more traditional building materials like glass and metal U-panels just couldn’t compare to its innovative performance. The polycarbonate standing seam panel system consists of extruded translucent panels with a vertical standing seam of each end. A snap-on connector interlocks the panels. The retention clips, which are made of stainless steel, are hidden from view. When it’s completely assembled, the system is free-floating. Because each component of the system is capable of expanding and contracting at its own rate, waves and deflections are eliminated but the structural properties of the material are maintained. Make no mistake, polycarbonate is as tough as it is esthetic, and it’s also energy efficient, a crucial attribute for today’s environmentally-conscious consumer. This technological advance allows the design of buildings that expand creativity as a result of innovation.

The Freedom of Polycarbonate Standing Seam Panels

In order to be truly creative, a building material must adhere to infallible structural standards that don’t allow for error. The partnership between the structural components and the esthetic ones is a delicate balance that, when perfectly matched, produces extraordinary results. The combination of strength and durability that is provided by the polycarbonate standing seam panels has liberated building designers and architects from the constraints of the more traditional metal U-panels and glass. Along with polycarbonate the dynamic new material comes polycarbonate the creative leader in architecture, as bold colors, dramatic finishes, subtle shading, and special effects are redefining the strength and beauty of building. Polycarbonate, in common with other Danpal products, is also famous as one of the daylighting techniques that have made the company a trailblazer in building design.
