Carports and walkway canopies are among the most popular uses of polycarbonate: they protect from sun and rain while letting in natural light.
The right type
Multiwall sheets are the most common choice — light and insulating. For a more decorative walkway, embossed sheets look great.
Thickness
- Single-car canopy next to a house: 4–6 mm.
- Public car parks and long walkways: 6–10 mm.
Colour matters
Clear lets in the most light but also more heat. Bronze, opal and blue reduce glare and heat under the canopy — more comfortable for cars and people.
Flat or curved?
Curved canopies drain water better and look more elegant; flat ones need sufficient slope. Either way, the flutes must run in the direction of the slope.
