What is Frosted Twinwall Polycarbonate Sheet?
A frosted twinwall polycarbonate sheet is a lightweight, semi-transparent panel made from two layers of polycarbonate with a frosted or matte surface finish. The twinwall structure provides excellent thermal insulation, while the frosted surface diffuses sunlight, reducing glare and creating a softer, more even light distribution. This makes it ideal for greenhouses, skylights, roofing, and any application where privacy and gentle lighting are desired, without sacrificing strength or durability.

Can frosted sheets be used outdoors?
Yes, frosted twinwall polycarbonate sheets can be used outdoors.
They are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and are often treated with a UV-protective coating, which prevents yellowing and degradation over time. This makes them ideal for outdoor applications such as greenhouse roofing, patio covers, pergolas, and privacy panels—providing soft, diffused light while maintaining long-lasting durability.
How long does Frosted Twinwall Polycarbonate Sheets last?
Frosted Twinwall Polycarbonate Sheets typically last 10 to 20 years, depending on several factors:
Lifespan Factors:
- UV Protection: Sheets with co-extruded UV-resistant layers last longer and resist yellowing or brittleness.
- Installation Quality: Proper installation (e.g., correct slope, sealing, and support spacing) prevents water leaks and stress cracks.
- Climate Conditions: In harsh climates with high UV exposure or extreme temperatures, lifespan may lean toward the lower end of the range.
- Maintenance: Regular cleaning with mild soap and avoiding abrasive chemicals or tools helps preserve clarity and durability.
