What Are Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets?

Polycarbonate roofing sheets are high-strength, lightweight panels ideal for residential and commercial roofing in Kenya. They offer excellent UV protection, impact resistance, and long-term durability. BHD supplies both solid and hollow types to suit various applications.

Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer known for its clarity, toughness, and resistance to weather extremes. Unlike traditional materials such as corrugated iron, polycarbonate does not rust, is lightweight, and can withstand Kenya’s diverse climate—from Mombasa’s humid coast to Nairobi’s high-altitude temperature variations.
