VEROLITE™
Polycarbonate Twinwall Sheets Assembly & Storage Guide
 |
48 inch wide sheet should be fastened to support at all four corners, and at points 6" in from the edges of each purlin support and in the center of the purlin supports. |
- Thermal Expansion
Allows for thermal expansion during installation at a rate of 1/8" per 3 feet at 100º temperature differentials in both width and length of the sheet. Bronze panels will require an additional 30% space.
Impact Resistance
VEROLITE is one of the highest impact resistant materials available. From transport to installation, VEROLITE will maintain its durabiliry. Even when exposed to elevated temperatures over a long period of time, it will maintain its structural integrity. On - site, it will not crack or splinter, assuring you a high degree of safety.
Resistance Of Polycarbonate To Chemical Agents
Polycarbonate panels are resistant to some chemicals and products and non-resistant to others. Resistance can be affected by the chemicals concentration, duration of exposure, degree of pressure and temperature at time of contact. Check with your local distriburor for complete recommendations.
Load Resistance
This diagram is valid only when the following conditions are followed:
• Correct calculation of expansion in order to provide for the necessary allowance in the framing. The thermal
- • expansion coefficient is 0.0000375 in / in º F.
• Where possible install the sheets with the ribs running vertically and following bending in bent applications.
• Washers and sealing materials must be compatible with polycarbonate.

Cleaning
VEROLITE should be protected from abrasion by the installer. After installation, panels should be washed with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water using only a clean sponge or soft cloth, then rinsed with clean water. Fresh paint, grease, and smeared glazing compounds may be removed before drying by rubbing lightly with a good grade of naptha or isopropyl alcohol followed by a final wash with mild soap or detergent and final rinse.
