2.1m Polycarbonate Sheet Closure

Enhance Your Roofing Project with the 2.1m Sheet Closure

A polycarbonate sheet closure, also known as a closure strip or closure cap, is a sealing and protective component used in roofing and glazing installations involving polycarbonate sheets.

It serves several important functions:

1. Weatherproofing: One of the primary purposes of a polycarbonate sheet closure is to provide a weatherproof seal along the edges and ends of the polycarbonate sheets. It prevents water, moisture, dust, and other environmental elements from infiltrating the gaps between the sheets and entering the interior space below. This is crucial for maintaining a dry and comfortable environment, especially in outdoor structures like greenhouses, skylights, and patio covers.

2. Thermal Insulation: Closure strips can help improve the thermal insulation properties of a polycarbonate roofing system. By sealing gaps and edges, they reduce heat loss and minimize the potential for drafts or temperature fluctuations inside the enclosed space. This is particularly important for structures where temperature control is essential, such as conservatories.

3. Pest Prevention: Closure strips act as a barrier against pests, insects, and small animals that might otherwise find their way into the roofing or glazing system. Keeping these unwanted intruders out helps protect plants, furniture, and other contents within the enclosed space.

4. Noise Reduction: In some cases, closure strips can help reduce noise transmission through the polycarbonate sheets, creating a quieter and more comfortable interior environment.

5. Aesthetics: Closure strips also contribute to the overall appearance of the roofing or glazing system by providing a neat and finished look. They conceal the cut edges of the polycarbonate sheets, giving the installation a clean and professional appearance.

6. Support: Closure strips may offer additional support to the polycarbonate sheets by providing reinforcement along their edges. This can help reduce the risk of sagging or bending, especially for larger and heavier sheets.
