Overview
Egyptian Hollow Polycarbonate Sheets are engineered for high performance in Kenya’s diverse climate — from intense sunlight to heavy rainfall. Manufactured using premium Egyptian technology, these sheets feature a multi-wall (hollow) structure that enhances thermal insulation while maintaining lightweight strength.
They allow natural daylight to penetrate while blocking harmful UV rays, reducing heat buildup and ensuring comfortable interiors. Their impact resistance is up to 250 times stronger than glass, making them ideal for both residential and commercial roofing projects.
At Burhani Hardware Dealers (BHD), we supply high-quality Egyptian Hollow Polycarbonate Sheets in a variety of thicknesses, colors, and lengths to suit roofing, cladding, skylights, and shading applications across Kenya.
